In the various chapters which make up the first three parts of this book, we attempt to set in motion a fruitful dialogue between various methods, notions and systems of philosophical ideas, rejecting at all costs any discourse which would plead, as is often the case case, for a divorce without appeal between two heterogeneous philosophical horizons: an analytical horizon and another which would be continental. If it existed at a given moment in the history of contemporary philosophy, this so-called divide is no longer able to be taken seriously today, neither in our discourse nor in our institutions.

It must be seriously discarded through constructive intercommunication and positive and reasonable exchange between the multiple expressions and components of human thought in its national and global cultural variations. Bringing together analytical philosophers and philosophers in general into dialogue, by uniting their respective contributions with the aim of shedding new light on the fate of philosophy in our Arab societies, embody the main objective of this volume.
