الحرية و جذور الفكر الجبري في ثقافتنا العربية

Abstract EN

This paper attempts to explore the roots of the causes that prevented the formulation of a complex and comprehensive theory about freedom in the Arab deliberative field.

The paper argues that there has been a perpetuated reductionist view of freedom considered to be the opposite of slavery as the sole understanding of this notion.

To prove this, this paper departs from the hypothesis that there has been political reasons that contributed, on the one hand, in perpetuating this reductionist view to freedom, and on the other hand in implanting the first roots of the compulsivity thought within the Arabic cultural fabric to the extent that made this thought become one of the foundational pillars that sustain contemporary states in the Arab context.
