By Dr. Adnan Bouzan At the heart of the human experience, where the greatest questions intersect with the fragility of existence, the human being ceases to be merely a creature inhabiting the world and instead becomes an open question addressed to the world itself. Being is not a simple given that can be grasped or confined within a final definition; rather, it is a continuous disclosure of something that recedes each time we draw near to it. Truth, therefore, is not something we possess, but a horizon that reveals itself...
I have followed with deep concern the recent developments in Syria and the growing prominence of tribal rhetoric, along with the increasing involvement of tribal structures in political and military disputes. This trend poses a serious threat to the future...

By Dr. Adnan Bouzan A parliament is not merely a chamber filled with rows of seats, nor a platform for delivering speeches, nor an institution that merely completes the image of the state before the world. In the philosophy of the modern state, parliament is the institutional embodiment of the people's will—the arena where citizens' voices travel from the ballot box to the halls of legislation, oversight, and accountability. Consequently, the legitimacy of any legislative assembly begins with a question that cannot be ignored: Who chose these representatives? In contemporary political systems, the legitimacy of institutions is measured not by their appearance or their title, but by the process through which they are constituted. Political history has witnessed a wide variety of governing models—from liberal democracies to...
By Dr. Adnan Bozan In recent days, we have witnessed an unprecedented escalation between Iran and Israel. The confrontation has moved beyond indirect conflict and limited security skirmishes to a state of open war with multiple dimensions: missiles, assassinations, cyber operations, and drone attacks. This is not a traditional war between two standing armies on a defined battlefield. Rather, it is a hybrid war in which geography intersects with technology, religion with geopolitics, and overt operations with covert ones — a war entangled with both internal and external actors. The Present: A Complex and Intertwined War Scene At this very...
By Dr. Adnan Bozan In history, methods do not die—only those who employ them. Their strategies survive, merely changing faces, names, and instruments. Between Tamerlane, who surrounded cities with his three tents, and modern states adept at managing political and military pressure, the difference lies less in purpose than in means. The sword has become coercive diplomacy, siege has become negotiation under duress, yet the objective remains unchanged: to seize a people's...
بقلم: د. عدنان بوزان في أعماق تاريخ البشرية تنسج الثورات الشعبية خيوطاً من الشجاعة والصمود، تحمل في طياتها الصرخات المكبوتة للشعوب الذين يسعون إلى الحرية والعدالة. إنّ الثورات الشعبية أو الانتفاضة تمثل فصلاً بارزاً في التحولات الاجتماعية، حيث تنهض الشعوب بشجاعة وإصرار لتحدي الظلم والفساد، وتسعى إلى بناء عالم أفضل ينبعث فيه نور العدالة والحرية. إنها ليست مجرد صفحة من التاريخ، بل هي حكاية عن صمود الإنسانية وإرادتها القوية في مواجهة الاستبداد...
By: Dr. Adnan Bouzan At the beginning of his second term, U.S. President Donald Trump announced his intention to impose new tariffs of up to 25% on imports from the European Union. With the escalation of the trade wars he has initiated, some did not expect his policies to have a rapid impact on the European economy, which is already facing huge challenges. However, with ongoing economic crises in major EU countries,...
By Dr. Adnan Bouzan Ignorant societies do not oppose falsehood as much as they oppose those who expose it, for their moral and psychological structures are founded upon the principle of obedience rather than understanding, upon submission rather than critique. In such an atmosphere, truth is not received as an illumination of consciousness, but as a threat to the harmony of collective illusion — a germ infecting the symbolic system through which man lives and derives the justification for his existence. Thus, truth becomes, in the consciousness of a community possessed by its dogmas, an intellectual crime and a dagger that strikes at the collective self built upon delusion rather than knowledge. Ignorance, at its deepest level, is not a transient condition nor an accidental state; it is a self-sustaining...
By: Dr. Adnan Bouzan Introduction: Since the moment the human being first lifted his head toward the sky, he was not merely searching for an explanation of thunder and lightning, nor solely for an answer to the question of death. He was searching for meaning—meaning for his existence in a world suspended between chaos and order, between fear and...
By: Dr. Adnan Bozan O you who walk across the soil of stories… slow down a little. For this dust is not the dust of a road, but the ashes of hearts that burned so the homeland might keep a name, and the sun might have a window opening onto the mountains. I am the Kurd… the one who slept for a long time on a pillow of wind, and when he...

By: Dr. Adnan Bozan Introduction: When Madness Becomes a Subject of Civilization Medieval and early Renaissance European art was not merely an aesthetic reflection of the world; it often functioned as an intellectual mirror reflecting the deep structure of collective consciousness—its fears, beliefs,...
