How Can Philosophy Answer the Most Complex Political Questions?
Drawing from the philosophical roots of political thought, Abdelilah Belkeziz traces the evolution of the concepts of the state, power, and citizenship. He analyzes how philosophical thought has been reflected in political experiences throughout history, and how philosophy has become an indispensable framework for understanding political phenomena.
The book discusses how globalization and contemporary conflicts challenge the concepts of sovereignty and legitimacy, and reviews the challenges faced by the nation-state in the Arab context.
The strength of the book lies in returning the theoretical question to the heart of political debate, and in reminding the reader that political concepts have a history, and that their use requires an awareness of the conditions of their emergence and transformations. Furthermore, linking philosophy to politics gains special importance in the Arab sphere, where political debate often tends to deal with concepts as ready-made slogans.
