More than a decade ago, the Arab Spring had raised hopes of a new beginning but instead ushered in a series of civil wars, coups, and even harsher autocracies.

Christopher Phillips explores geopolitical rivalries in the region, and the major external powers vying for influence.

Challenging some of the deepest assumptions of the Western philosophical tradition, he is most renowned—or condemned—for his engagement with the movement that he called 'deconstruction.'

What are we made up of? What holds material bodies together? Is there a difference between terrestrial matter and celestial matter? When Democritus stated that we are made up of atoms, few people believed him.
