Participatory solidarity

Participatory solidarity

Author: Tariq Ramadan July 23, 2019 Duration: 19:32

Participatory solidarity: Being open to the world means first thinking about your neighbor, the animals around us and nature. Provide the good with the heart and demand the right with conscience. The local counter-power opposes any defeatism. You can not change everything, so change what you can.

Tariq Ramadan


In Looking at the world, Tariq Ramadan engages with the pressing questions that define our time, moving beyond headlines to explore the deeper currents shaping society. This podcast is a space for sustained reflection, where education, political tensions, and cultural shifts are examined alongside philosophy and spirituality. Ramadan draws from a broad landscape of thought-including literature and religion-to connect seemingly disparate topics, offering listeners a more integrated understanding of contemporary life. Each episode encourages a different way of seeing, challenging assumptions and inviting a thoughtful pause. The discussions are grounded in the complexity of human experience, aiming not for simple answers but for clearer, more nuanced questions. By weaving together social analysis with ethical and existential inquiry, the series provides a unique lens on both global events and the inner lives they influence. For anyone seeking depth over soundbites, this podcast becomes an essential companion, transforming routine listening into an act of intellectual and personal discovery. Tariq Ramadan’s approach makes dense subjects accessible and urgent, fostering a conversation that continues long after an episode ends.
