Contemporary Philosophical Thought in Lebanon

This book is the sap of sober, diligent research, with the aim of its authors to reveal their existential and intellectual experiences, avoiding hasty classification and arbitrary previous judgment, or even critical engagement, despite the controversial theses contained in the works of the prominent figures of philosophy in Lebanon, who were covered in the chapters of this book.

However, in its original background, this book has objectives that go beyond mere philosophical history to highlight the potential for enriched knowledge accumulation and critical philosophical treatment. The first philosophical structure constructed by these philosophers must be looked at critically in order to extract from it its viable and exploitable elements. Therefore, this book stimulates a constructive philosophical engagement between philosophers in Lebanon and in the Arab world in order to discuss the concepts on which the constructions of these philosophers were based, and the conclusions they reached at the conclusion of their investigations.
