The Collapse of Rationalism is a sustained philosophical assault on the foundations of modern rationalist thought. Drawing upon ancient sophistry, post-structuralist skepticism, and contemporary metaphysical doubt, the book dismantles the authority of logic, objectivity, and truth. It offers no alternative systemonly a deliberate exposure of the illusions beneath all systems. This is a rare contribution to Arabic philosophical literature, now available in English in an expanded, fully annotated edition, complete with references that trace its engagement with both classical and contemporary philosophical sources.

Is there such a thing as an 'international law' of which to be afraid? Can international law be seen as a coherent set of norms? Or is it, rather, something experienced radically differently by different individuals and groups in different parts of the world? And what do the different sets of international law seek to change or justify today? In Who's Afraid of International Law? Raimond Gaita and six other noted authorities in this field respond to Gaita's invitation to explore ways in which international law constitutes a certain way of talking and being; one that might have both ameliorative and malign effects. The result is an extended and rich conversation about international law's aspirations and limitations, its nuances and rigidities, achievements and failures, relevance and irrelevance.

Politics is a work dedicated to the theme of political philosophy, in the form conceived by the Greek philosopher Aristotle.

In Politics, the great Greek philosopher discusses the science of politics, the composition of cities (polis), processes of slavery, wealth, and families. In the work, it is also possible to find some criticisms by the thinker of his master Plato, who, in turn, made more utopian reflections on the ideal model of society and politics.

Metaphysics is a foundational examination of reality, existence, and being, forming the cornerstone of Western philosophical thought. Aristotle systematically investigates the principles and causes underlying all things, aiming to understand what it means for something to exist. The work explores concepts such as substance, form, matter, potentiality, and actuality, providing a framework to analyze change, identity, and the nature of being itself. Since its composition, Metaphysics has been celebrated for its rigorous analysis and profound influence on both philosophical and theological traditions. Its exploration of universal themes such as the nature of reality, the structure of knowledge, and the search for first principles has ensured its place as a cornerstone of philosophical literature. The clarity and depth of Aristotle's arguments continue to challenge and inspire thinkers, shaping metaphysical inquiry across centuries. The treatise's enduring relevance lies in its ability to pose fundamental questions about existence and knowledge that remain unresolved and ever-pertinent. By examining the essential structures of reality and the conditions for understanding, Metaphysics invites readers to reflect on the deepest aspects of being and the foundational principles that govern all that is.
