انتحار الغرب
منذ مئة سنة كان معظم الغربيين يشعرون بالاعتزاز الهائل والثقة الكبيرة بحضارتهم. وكان الغربيون يعرفون ما الذي تمثله حضارتهم وترمز له، وكانوا يؤمنون بها. أما اليوم فإن ذلك المعنى قد تلاشى... في هذا الكتاب المثير للجدل، يحدد ريتشارد كوك وكريس سميث ستة أعمدة رئيسة للحضارة الغربية وهي: المسيحية، والتفاؤل، والعلم، والنمو الاقتصادي، والليبرالية، والفردية. ويبين المؤلفان كيف أن هذه الأفكار قد عانت طوال قرن من هجوم مستمر من الداخل وكيف أنها لم تبقَ بعد ذلك ملهمة للغرب أو موحدة له، وهو ما يجعل الانجراف نحو الانتحار الجماعي يبدو حتمياً. ومع ذلك، فربما لا تكون كل الأمور موحشة مثلما قد تبدو؛ فالفحص المتبصر للعوامل الستة يُظهر أنها تمتلك مرونة كبيرة ترجع بها إلى ما كانت عليه. والكثير من عداء اليوم الموجَّه لهذه الأفكار مستند إلى مفاهيم دارجة ولكنها غريـبة، يدحضها الدليل العلمي. ومن الناحية النظرية، فإن تركيباً أكثر حنكة للأفكار الستة كفيل بتوفير طريق للغرب يستعيد بها شجاعته وكرامته. وأما من الناحية العملية فإن هذا الكتاب الآسر للب والذي لقي ترحيباً رائعاً يسبر غور الإجابة. ... بصيرة وتحليل نادران، مع بعض الاستنتاجات المقلقة... لقد أطلق المؤلفان صيحة اليقظة (الإنذار) وقدّما حلاً في الوقت نفسه معاً. سير مينـزيس كامبيل ... يصف ماضياً من الإنجازات وحاضراً من الهشاشة. يجب أن يوجه أهلَ التفكير إلى جهود جديدة تبذل من أجل حماية الحريات والثقافة التي يقدرونها حق قدرها.... نيـل كينوك العبيكان للنشر
