هل تكون المواطنة مدخلا إلى أخلاقية عربية ناجعة ؟ : بحث في وضعنة القيمة

Abstract EN

This paper explores the conditions that make it possible to draw a distinction between traditional or «classical» and «modem» forms of morality.

The author aims to understand the possibility of an epistemological and behavioral framework that allows for the rise of a novel form of citizenship that is discontinuous from previous forms.

One conclusion which the author arrives at is that modernity made itself felt in the Arab countries through a series of mostly disjointed, piecemeal and superficially modified and «Islamicized» efforts.

The author argues that the present impasse in Arab thinking on citizenship will persist until the dichotomy between collective identity and the episteme of «obedience» and individual identity and the episteme of «the individual)) is bridged.
