Abdel-Aroui’s view of heritage between connection and estrangement

Abstract EN

Abdullah al-Aroui, who is considered one of the well-known thinkers in the Arab world, believes that through his intellectual contributions and through the important concerns he made regarding the situation of the Arabs and the Arab renaissance, al-Aroui, like other thinkers, was occupied with the Arab and Islamic heritage, but he called for a break with it and preferred that the Arab person live in western modernity and that there be a real renaissance that it seeks away from living in the shadows of the past and the mirage that Arab thought continues to sing about.

it did not live its present nor build its future.

al-Aroui thus presented his intellectual project, which he saw as the most appropriate to bring about change, and his project was based on adopting historical Marxist thought.

which placed al-Aroui the subject of widespread controversy and criticism among intellectuals.
