This study deals with Universal Values and Muslim Democracy. This essay draws upon speeches that he gave at the New York Democ- racy Forum in December 2005 and the Assembly of the World Movement for Democracy in Istanbul in April 2006. The emergence of Muslim democracies is something significant and worthy of our attention. Yet with the clear exceptions of Indonesia and Turkey, the Muslim world today is a place where autocracies and dictatorships of various shades and degrees continue their parasitic hold on the people, gnawing away at their newfound freedoms. It concludes that the human desire to be free and to lead a dignified life is universal. So is the abhorrence of despotism and oppression. These are passions that motivate not only Muslims but people from all civilizations.

Abstract Kant introduces a duty to oneself to respect oneself and to avoid servility – or not to make oneself a worm. I argue for a wider understanding of this duty: Persons ought to respect their own dignity as persons with autonomy, rationality, and morality (A), but also as personalities, who embody dignity and live a dignified life (B). A corresponds to Kant’s concept of duty as the necessity of an action done out of respect for the moral law, B is an obligation arising from the practical necessity that follows from one’s self-understanding as an individual personality in a socio-cultural context. A and B relate to two types of dignity that are discussed in current debates. I argue that both types of dignity are equally relevant for understanding and respecting one’s own dignity. Finally I discuss why, even though persons can behave like worms, others ought not to step on them.

This article analyses Amina Weira’s Anger in the Wind (2016). It argues that Weira’s documentary tells the story of slowly dying men through an exploration of a failed Anthropocene mediated by subjectivity and memory. Behind an almost casual handling of the camera, Weira casts a keen sympathetic eye on the ‘environmentally embattled’ populations of her native town, Arlit. Anger in the Wind is a documentary of painful, angry, recriminatory words; it tactfully yet pointedly exposes the devastation of the local ecosystems by staging the life stories of men and women who now realize that they were seen as disposable entities, not worthy of a dignified life cycle, fit for sacrifice at the altar of western technological prowess and comfort. As much as a testimony, Anger in the Wind is a Bamako style indictment of a destructive way of inhabiting the earth and a Hyenas’ style call to collective resistance.
