The Cultural Meeting of East and West

This new association of scholars may be of interest to some of our readers.

You are invited to join a newly founded society

THE CULTURAL MEETING OF EAST AND WEST:

THE OCCIDENT AND ISLAM

INTERNATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF SCHOLARS

MISSION STATEMENT:

“Human Interests, progressively globalizing, call for breaking the barriers and bridging the gaps between the great cultures – especially the Occident and Islam - toward harmonization of existential concerns while preserving cultural identity. 

The aim of our association of scholars from various fields of inquiry is to elaborate the foundation for such a cultural harmonization and to establish new links of communication.  The reaching of common roots in the Human Condition in-the-unity-of-everything-there-is-alive* may set us on the way. 

            All scholars interested in participating in this enterprise are invited to join.”
