Dialogues for the Future provides a sneak peek at the long philosophic journey of the renowned Arab scholar Taha Abderrahmane. The author looks at different thorny issues such as traditions, philosophy, ethics, globalization, and logic through a local prism that is not directedly tainted by the Western epistemic and ontological worldview. While seemingly addressing audiences with a background in the philosophy of language and Islamic philosophy, Taha’s intellectual project tackles many questions that wider readerships might have about the Muslims’ and Arabs’ contribution to knowledge in the past and present. The translator’s introduction “on Dialogue, Ethics and Traditions” contextualizes Taha’s book within the plethora of his academic work, allowing English-speaking readers to engage with the open canvas of dialogue Taha has resiliently initiated.
Abdellah El Boubekri is an Associate Professor of Cultural Studies at Mohamed First University, department of English, Oujda, Morocco. His fields of interest are media, literary, translation and cultural studies. He has published several books and articles in international journals.
In a general sense, the book attempts to address academics with a background in philosophy and international cultural studies. However, it tackles many questions that wider readerships might have about Arabs’ contribution to the intellectual scene in the past and present.
