الفلسفة العربية و الإبداع الفلسفي : ناصيف نصار

Abstract EN

This paper deals with the issue of creativity in Arab thought, its conditions, mechanisms and purpose, from the point of view of the Lebanese philosopher Nassif Nassar, who breaks the linkage with heritage and calls for a new style of philosophical thinking, a pattern aimed at creativity.

the first and fundamental condition required here is the philosophical independence.

that the contemporary Arab intellectual product does not go beyond the scope of subordination, either to ancient philosophy, or to contemporary western philosophy.

therefore, local mechanisms that abound in the Arab societies must be invested in order to produce the original philosophical thought originality here does not mean total rupture with what produced by the philosophical reasoning whatever its age, it means primarily dealing with the coming of philosophical thought according to mechanisms that allow the possibility of benefiting from it.

with the intention that philosophy will actually contribute to the treatment of cultural problems in Arab societies, and to emancipate from ancient and medieval western thought.

the most important thing that can be invested to build an authentic philosophy according to Nassif is “ideology”, as a group of concepts and issues linked closely and distinctively, because issues of ideological thought are primarily social.
