If Not Now, When?
Alev AlatlıNew physics has brought new understandings that will leave their mark on the world view.
Unlike the mechanical worldview of the First Enlightenment Age, the Second Enlightenment Age has radically changed how humans view themselves, their bodies, society, and all living and non-living beings constituting the universe. The chaos paradigm and fuzzy logic have saved humanity from the straitjacket of black-and-white thinking.
In times when thoughts underwent such radical change, a holistic thought revolution took place. Moving from these developments, Alev Alatlı protects and watches over all oppressed nations, especially her own, without compromising on right, truth, and reality, with the grace of a crane.
In her book If Not Now, When?, Alatlı holds a mirror to the agenda and does not allow us to miss anything. She thinks of Palestine along with us, evaluating Edward Said's intellectual personality together with Cemil Meriç. While revealing the importance of "notching" history, she suggests a diet of empathy for the modern soul.
