In this significant work, Hassan Majid al-Obeidi presents a collection of insightful studies focusing on modern and contemporary philosophy, with a special emphasis on Arab philosophical thought. The book navigates the complex dialectic between the 'self' and the 'other,' a fundamental theme in philosophy. Al-Obeidi critically examines how this relationship is articulated within the Arab intellectual landscape, analyzing the influence of Western philosophy and the quest for an authentic, modern Arab philosophical identity. It is an essential read for anyone interested in the evolution of contemporary Arab thought and its engagement with global philosophical discourse.
