In the Eyes of the Iranian Intellectuals of The
“The West” in the Eyes of the Iranian Intellectuals of the Interwar Years (1919–1939) Mehrzad Boroujerdi n 1929, after a lecture by Arnold Toynbee (from the notes of Denison Ross, the fi rst director of the School of Oriental and African Studies) on the subject of the modern- ization of the Middle East, a commentator said, Persia has not been modernized and has not in reality been Westernized. Look at the map: there is Persia right up against Russia. For the past hundred years, living cheek by jowl with Russia, Persia has maintained her complete independence of Russian thought. Although sixty to seventy percent of her trade for the past hundred years has been with Russia, Persia remains aloof in spirit and in practice. For the past ten years, Persia has been living alongside the Union of Socialist Soviet Republics, and has remained free from any impregnation by their basic ideas. Her freedom is due to her cultural independence. For the safety of Persia it is essential, if she is to continue to develop on her own lines, that she should not attempt modernization, and I do not think that the attempt is being made. It is true that the Persians have adopted motor-cars and in small way railways. But let us remember that the Persians have always been in the forefront in anything of that sort. The fi rst Eastern nation to enter the Postal Union and to adopt a system of telegraphs was Persia, which country was also among the fi rst of the Eastern nations to join the League of Nations and to become an active member. -

[email protected] Received: 28/02/2019 Accepted: 02/09/2019 Abstract To seek the intellectual roots of the Iranian constitutionalism, one has to be back to the pre- constitutionalism epoch. Indeed, in that time, Iranian elites had recognized the "deterioration" as the main crisis of Iran, which was rooted in the problem of “despotism.” Their strategy to overcome this crisis was the “Law.”However, the key point was that the majority of intellectual elites had thoughtcodifying the law is the only job that has to be done. Nevertheless, they did not pay attention to the mechanism of how to move from traditional legal logic to the new one in Iran. In the Iranian Tanzimat period, considering the two concepts of law in the European lands (the political and the rational concepts), the idea of law seems to base on the rational concept. In that time, debates were on the explanation, justification, and interpretation of the law. All the utterances were about: which law is the right one? What is the proper criterion to pass a legal regulation? Must the law be written based on nature, the tradition, the practices, or the divine Sharia? This article is going to assess the represented hypothesis by investigating some works of intellectual elites and historical documents of Iranian pre-constitutionalism. -

Because the presence of female poets in Iranian literature is a relatively recent phenomenon, there are few published studies describing and analysing Iranian women’s poetry; most of the critical studies that do exist were completed in the last three decades after the Revolution in 1979. -

On this journey, the Hungarian government, with the Parliament at its service, is reinterpreting the concept of fundamental rights. Under the slogan of effectiveness, new regulations are being adopted which secure more power, influence, rights, and tools for the state. This paper aims to present this trend from the perspective of education. I will present the most important new legal institutions, the chancellery, and consistory, as well as the constitutional right of the government to regulate by decree the operational and financial matters of HEIs, the central direction of schools, and the ministerial approval of pedagogical programs. Keywords: autonomy of higher education institutes, freedom of teaching, scientific freedom, self-governance, direct government control, illiberal state Introduction In spring of this year, a general election will be held in Hungary. After the previous three elections, the regulation of public and higher education was significantly modified. The oldest modifications were also related to autonomy, but the last two modifications, as well as the two new education acts (Act CCIV of 2011 on National Higher Education and Act CXC of 2011 on National Public Education), reduced the autonomy and self-governance of state educational organizations in Hungary. Most EU member states’ constitutions declare the autonomy of HEIs but do not provide as much of a constitutional framework for the operation of public education institutions. -
On Nozick Edward Feser Toronto: Thomson Wadsworth, 2004 (98 Pages)
Philosophy, History, and Methodology of Economics the antebellum South never built up any social capital—the natural and good fruit of civil society—but remained a Hobbesian world “held together by violence, coercion and force.” This is the violent world that Andrew Jackson understood and that he shared with the rest of the nation as president. When those organizations broke down, however, or were silenced by a patriarchal president, the civil space for “ritualized combat” collapsed, and real combat followed. Organizationally, McCarthy makes this point by following her chapter on Jackson with a chapter on the widespread civic unrest America experienced during and after his presidency. Her argument, again, is clear and well-substantiated: Once Americans had lost hope that their government would even listen to their peaceful protests in the vol- untary sphere—lost their faith in the American creed, in other words—they were forced to seek their ends through violent means. John Brown’s murderous rampages in Kansas and Harper’s Ferry—both of which received financial and moral support from wealthy East-Coast allies—are perfect examples of what frustrated abolitionists had to do to make their voices heard. In conclusion, McCarthy draws a distinction between what she calls “government” and “governance.” The former is the mechanism of political power that, depending on the people holding that power, may or may not respond to the interests of its citizens. The latter is a social ethos: a widespread faith that citizens can influence politics through institutions of their own making. Traditionally, scholars of American democ- racy have looked only at government and the supposedly growing power of the enfran- chised. -
Homeschooling, Freedom of Conscience, and the School As Republican Sanctuary

J. Oh Master’s Thesis in Educational Leadership Fall Term 2016 Department of Education University of Jyväskylä 2 ABSTRACT Oh, Paul. 2016. Homeschooling, freedom of conscience, and the school as re- publican sanctuary: An analysis of arguments representing polar conceptions of the secular state and religious neutrality. Master's Thesis in Educational Leadership. University of Jyväskylä. Department of Education. This paper examines how stances and understandings pertaining to whether home education is civically legitimate within liberal democratic contexts can depend on how one conceives normative roles of the secular state and the religious neutrality that is commonly associated with it. For the purposes of this paper, home education is understood as a manifestation of an educational phi- losophy ideologically based on a given conception of the good. Two polar conceptions of secularism, republican and liberal-pluralist, are ex- plored. Republican secularists declare that religious expressions do not belong in the public sphere and justify this exclusion by promoting religious neutrality as an end in itself. But liberal-pluralists claim that religious neutrality is only the means to ensure protection of freedom of conscience and religion, which are moral principles. Each conception is associated with its own stance on whether exemptions or accommodations on account of religious beliefs have special legal standing and thereby warranted. The indeterminate nature of religion and alleg- edly biased exclusion of secular beliefs, cited by some when denying religious exemptions, can be overcome by understanding all religious and conscientious beliefs as having equal standing as conceptions of the good. -

The present preliminary report is limited to a review of some academic writings on the nature of economic, social and cultural rights. In the academic literature, a distinction has been made between rights that require the State to abstain from certain action and those that require the State to intervene actively. The report notes that the mechanisms for implementation of these different rights and obligations are generally different. The report emphasizes that both categories of rights are equally important and urgent and that non-respect of any right has a detrimental affect on other rights. The rights contained in the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, such as the right to education and freedom of education, contain elements of both sets of rights. -

Persian literature specifically the adolescents and children poem in Iran has been affected. Many Iranian poets have been among the pioneers of romanticism in the adolescents and children poem. The poems of these poets include delicate interpretations and concepts in the principles of romantic poem. They have used the specifications and principles of romanticism due to the conditions and outlook of the addressees (children and adolescents).The current essay scrutinizes the characteristics of romanticism in the adolescents and children poem. Romanticism considers identifications such as naturalism, rustic are tendencies, liberalism, nostalgic issues, individualism and tendency to traveling. It also tries to explore new interpretations. -
