“إن التعالي الثقافي التجريدي، وتأليه النصوص، والرؤية غير التاريخية وغير الموضوعية للواقع، وفقدان روح النقد والنقد الذاتي والديمقراطية، وعدم احترام حرية الاجتهادات الفكرية المختلفة، وإغفال الخصوصية باسم النظرة الكلية، أو طمس النظرة الكلية باسم الخصوصية. هي بعض السلبيات التي يصاب بها الفكر التقدمي وتفقده الايجابية والفاعلية”
محمود أمين العالم, مفاهيم وقضايا إشكالية

إدوارد سعيد
“لولا هؤلاء الصهاينة، والإمبرياليين، والمستعمرين، لو أنهم تركنوا وشأننا، لكنّا الآن عظماء، ولما كنّا مهانين، أو متخلفين.”
إدوارد سعيد

“Set out to correct the world's wrongs and you'll almost certainly wind up adding to them.

-- from the TV series "Person of Interest", Season 2, episode "Relevance”
Amanda Segel Jonathan Nolan

David Berlinski
“Has anyone provided proof of God’s inexistence? Not even close. Has quantum cosmology explained the emergence of the universe or why it is here? Not even close. Have our sciences explained why our universe seems to be fine-tuned to allow for the existence of life? Not even close. Are physicists and biologists willing to believe in anything so long as it is not religious thought? Close enough. Has rationalism and moral thought provided us with an understanding of what is good, what is right, and what is moral? Not close enough. Has secularism in the terrible 20th century been a force for good? Not even close, to being close. Is there a narrow and oppressive orthodoxy in the sciences? Close enough. Does anything in the sciences or their philosophy justify the claim that religious belief is irrational? Not even in the ball park. Is scientific atheism a frivolous exercise in intellectual contempt? Dead on.”
David Berlinski, The Devil's Delusion: Atheism and Its Scientific Pretensions
