VIDEO: Presentation on Cosmopolitan Ethics and Pluralism: Why does Hazar Imam say both have been misunderstood? | Ignition Proposal
PART 0 -- While cosmopolitan ethics sounds very complicated or arcane, in this presentation, we offer a practical, comprehensible, highly praised perspective about it, based on Hazar Imam's clear explanations. Then, building on that, we reconsider the relationship between cosmopolitan ethics and pluralism, suggesting why, as Hazar Imam himself has also had to point out, the two have been fundamentally misunderstood. Due to these misunderstandings, we discuss why pluralism degenerates into license, or unrestricted individual freedom, and undermines morality. And, finally, we conclude with a comprehensive collection of Hazar Imam's quotes highlighting his explicit judgments against morals and values which are inconsistent with our Ismaili Muslim value system.

News Flash for Digest + Ignition Clearing Up Misunderstandings about Private Ismaili Websites | Ismaili Digest's Team Talks to You
"It was very satisfying to hear Hazar Imam and President Talib have such confidence, respect, and trust in the private Ismaili media publishers, and value our work that President Talib wished to set up relationships with us and Hazar Imam gave him guidance on how to structure the relationships.... I think the institutions and the Jamat are really not aware of the thousands of hours of passionate work reliable private Ismaili web publishers put, voluntarily, into their websites each year with no other motive than a deep and sincere desire to help the Jamat, which these websites do in countless ways that may not be always appreciated."

Partly legend, partly historic, it is also a manual on kingship, a collection of heroic tales, and a ...

NanoWisdoms - Extend. Quotes His Highness the Aga Khan on Western society
"Western Europe and North America possess much that can be envied. They also face social and moral conflicts which are far more daunting than known in Asia or Africa.

Think of Ismaili Digest as the Front Page of all the best Ismaili websites! Ismaili Digest automatically and continuously brings together all new articles, photos, videos, etc. from Ismaili websites -- like The Ismaili, Simerg, IIS, NanoWisdoms, AKDN, Ismailimail, etc. -- so you can see them all at once. Direct links to over 15,000 web-pages from the best Ismaili websites already available. Ismaili Digest saves you (and those who are not tech savvy, such as seniors) the effort of having to visit them one by one to keep up to date, or have your inbox cluttered with emails from each of them when they publish new content. In a busy world, our sense of belonging to our community sometimes tends to wither and fade (particularly for isolated Jamati members). We hope Ismaili Digest's simplicity and comprehensiveness will help you feel connected as well as feel the local and global pulse of the community. Like many other non-commercial, public-service thematic website aggregators, Ismaili Digest is just a thematic aggregator. We publish short 50-60 word digests of all their content and provide direct links to their original pages saving you time, extra page loads and clicks. For the website publishers, direct links ensure they'll get the maximum number of potential visitors reaching their content so their hard work gets the maximum exposure. Also featured are other important articles, research and opinions relevant to the community's well being, intellectual growth, best practises and administration. And all served with a drop of humour as well, because "we are a community that welcomes the smile!" Ismaili Digest is not associated with any private Ismaili website, whether aggregated by Ismaili Digest or not. All websites Ismaili Digest aggregates are independent websites run by their individual owners and we are not responsible for content they publish. |
