Books by Victor Segesvary

This important study brings to light a little known but essential moment in the relations between Islam and Christianity: the history of the 1542 publication of the Quaran (Koran), in Latin, in Venice and Basel and the controversy surrounding the emergence of this work in religious reform circles.

This research work is a serious attempt to dilemma the inadequacies of reductive materialism as it has developed in the West in the last 200 years. The epoch of scientism has produced great material wealth for some but has also seriously sapped the human and the environmental realms that have collided with this contemporary reality. Segesvary explores philosophy, theology as well as the natural sciences to develop his powerful anti-Faustian argument.

This important study offers a comprehensive analysis-cum-critique of the phenomenon of globalization and links the criticism to the inherent contradictions of modernity. It represents an effort to reverse a dangerous, and possible destructive tide in human existence. Dr. Segesvary''s work links the phenomenon of globalization to the increasing importance of inter-civilizational relations - these latter representing the powerful counter-current to the globalizing trend.

World state or nation-states? Democratic or hegemonic transnational order? Illusions and delusions. . . Ethnic conflicts, religious fundamentalism and evanescent, hard-to-grasp worldwide terrorism-what will be humanity's political future? This study is the first to try to find non-conventional solutions to this problem.
