Méditations de Malek Bennabi autour d’une démocratie Islamique

Abstract EN

The relationship between Islam and democracy is often recognized as very sensitive and delicate; so, daring to stud;y this relationship by applying the scientific approach is in itself a challenge and becomes an ambitious intellectual challenge.

In this respect, the great Algerian thinker Malek Bennabi gives us one of his brilliant thoughts in that treating one of the two concepts in our life should in no way exclude the other.

In his book Democracy and Islam, Bennabi locates from the introduction the first milestones of the problematic: Does Islam produce the democratic feeling? It should be said that Bennabi proposes elements of answer which are qualified in the order of his most innovative reflections in this field.

This stud;y aims to bridge the gap between the concepts of Islam and democracy, building bridges that would envision Islam as a global perspective on the lives of individuals and democracy as a practical indication through which this perspective is translated into reality; thus, the views of this great thinker will stand out in front of the eyes of the reader where he will have time to detect the ingenious methodology of Malek Bennabi in his wa;y of manipulating these dialectical concepts and combine them to forge the knot between them.

Bennabi puts in place a very comprehensive strategy that explains the rage of Islam to civilization; that is why he takes a big moment in front of the implications of Islam in terms of values.

On this subject, Bennabi's illustrative demonstrations of forms of freedom were very striking; not only all these demonstrations find its referential anchorage in Islam, but also and above all, it is when the human being has really been able to translate the main concepts of Islam in his daily life that a good apprehension freedoms was granted.

No doubt, it must be acknowledged that Malek Bennabi has the merit of seeing all these relations in a futuristic ambience, in a vision that raises all ambiguities between the current practices of Islam in everyday life, because The conceptions that he carried with him can only be properly practiced when the human being is able to assimilate them well.
