Description
This book, reflecting the national vision that guided its writing, is considered one of the fundamental factors that contributed to enriching the field of Moroccan philosophy. It encouraged many students to choose philosophy as their university major. This alone is sufficient to give an idea of the impact this book had on its readers as they prepared to transition to university studies. The philosophy department, taught in Arabic, was still in its infancy, yet strong enough to produce many Moroccan philosophical voices. The imprint of Al-Jabri and his conceptual framework are readily apparent in their approach to philosophical issues.
A book that fosters a sense of familiarity between the reader and a particular discipline, making the reader eager to engage with it, explore its literature, concepts, and schools of thought, and perhaps even contribute creatively to it in the future, is a successful book by all standards, regardless of the passage of time or the emergence of subsequent books that incorporate the latest educational techniques and simplify complex concepts. Therefore, the impact of this book on the learner is lasting, as it is a product of Mohammed Abed al-Jabri’s educational experience and the enthusiasm and sincerity he possessed while laying the foundations for a modern education system that serves the national cause and the historical narrative of Morocco—an education befitting an Arab country aspiring to a form of cultural independence that complements its political independence.
