To begin with,it is obvious to say: there is no objective reality itself. this approach requires
a lot of things on the basis of controversial and thus open
the way intellectual discussions
and new ideas. the facts can not speak for themselves.it is a problematic
relationship with the concept of self-consciousness.proceeding from this communication
between the researcher and the
community in such circumstances is supposed to be
based on truth not on the basis of transparent packaging vulgar or
Shuffle.
The most pressing dilemma in our society is an existential dialectic based on the question: How can establish a system of public social ?

As most of
the Arab countries, has failed to create an integrative revolution. in other
words it did not work to try to group people under general principles in order
to confirm the higher interest of the homeland and the citizen and Arabism. On
the contrary,those governments have succeeded in developing strategies
sectarian and regional vulgar. but it is a result of its policies added a new
division to the structure of Arab society a class divisions by drawing social and economic
strategies serve specific groups, those countries can not accomplish public
policies emphasizes the principles of equality and justice.
There is a
new perspective of security began to impose himself above considerations
territorial, regional and military. the challenges of the new global made of
the concept of security holistic and multi-dimensional and more attached to
human life for communities. hence the adoption of the United Nations Programme
for Development,an idea, "human security". So,
security is no longer measured by the reduction of the threats, but the extent
of responding to basic human .
Thus, we
reflect on this proposal, especially for Arab and Islamic thought
contemporary,mingled it Topics heritage, religion and culture. So is called logos )religious, ideological,
sectarian( in all the
political differences humanitarian. This thought deprives the
broad categories of society (different categories of ego)and it obscures the
basic rights of citizenship or even a minimum of humanitarian principles (right
to life) .
And we can say that the most important manifestations of this intellectual and
political conflict in the Arab world : The emergence of a two-way dangerous.
First: the conflict with the political systems.
Second: the collision with the structure of Arab
society: religious, ethnic, national, religious, cultural ( it is the most dangerous).
Everything that is
happening in Syria,Iraq, Bahrain, Lebanon, Sudan, Egypt,
Saudi Arabia, Libya, Tunisia, Do not deviate
from the framework of these
risks.So Why we can
not look at each other,as
a human?Why we must
emphasize the differences?Why do we need
to trend chauvinism?Why do
not limit ourselves to the human tendency?
The talk
about sectarianism, racism and nationalities, races and religions, do not benefit from it, only to keep the problem. Therefore we are not getting it?
In this context, we can say, that ideologies
after the revolutions in the Arab world , characterized by mono- thought on the
level of political and religious Instead of the perfect “utopia” and
humanitarian optimistic which aims to build a new Arab world and proposes
alternatives for us can be exceeded bitter reality. As these ideologies
developed, looking for new problems mired in ego, and all the solutions derived
from historical periods ended. These ideologies,are worth pondering especially
from the standpoint of looking at the"ego" and the other . Therein
lies the problem.it is the duty and responsibilities of human beings show the
real issues and try to find the appropriate solutions accordance with the facts
and possibilities,and without the need to create a collision with the"ego"
and with the "other" is different .
So, the
modern society, it can not acquire its components in any form out humanized “WE". This requires us to work on spreading
culture: the consensus on the principles and values of common humanity and to
promote thought and moral conscience .The superego in its spirit of cultural is
only an expression of the need to strengthen the sense of "WE". It is
"WE" cultural pluralism and openness and acceptance of others.It is
certainly not a "WE" disassembly and fragmentation.And also will not
be a "WE" chaos and instincts and hatred Beyond the mental
frameworks. It has become a basic dilemma, which threatens the entity Arab
societies.
This applies, for the
development of the so-called Arab revolutions.where we have moved from a
previous state , had exhausted the possibilities of the Arab nation in the
problems of cultural and intellectual dialogue about " who we are "
and their relationship with the "other" is different (the West) To get to this level
of collision with the ego itself.
Historically : We can say that the reality of the contemporary Arab
societies looks like a historical stage difficult which characterized European
societies in the Middle Ages.
in the midst of these changes and
transformations taking place in Arab societies We must confront the moral
questions of strategic importantly:
Will we learn from the experiences of
history in order to overcome these difficulties?
Are there options available to solve
the dilemma of thought and reality of the nation and the mysterious presence ,
outside the binary:
1 - either the collision with the
"other"?
2 - or collision with same ego?
