Malek Bennabi's two foundational works, 'The Problem of Culture' and 'The Problems of Civilization', offer a penetrating critique of the challenges facing Islamic societies and indeed, humanity at large. Bennabi, a prominent intellectual, meticulously examines the historical, social, and psychological factors contributing to societal stagnation and decline. He posits that a lack of cultural coherence and a failure to adapt to modern realities are at the core of civilizational crises. These texts provide profound insights into the dynamics of progress and decay, urging a re-evaluation of cultural values and the pursuit of a dynamic, self-renewing civilization. His analysis remains highly relevant for understanding contemporary global challenges.
