The Story of Philosophy: In the Egyptian Dialect

About this book

Why does philosophy always wear a stifling formal suit and a complicated tie, as if it were created only to be cast into grand conference halls? Are the great questions of existence fated to remain captive to hollow terminology that swallows the reader in a whirl of riddles? In The Story of Philosophy: In the Egyptian Dialect, writer Hamad Abu Shahba strips philosophy of its contrived garb to take it where it truly belongs: to the details of your day, the benches of popular cafés, and the warm voice of street debates. This is not an academic book recounting theories with cold neutrality; it is an invitation to an enjoyable, unprecedented journey of awareness, in which you confront the world's great thinkers face to face in a language that resembles you and understands you. Here you will discover that philosophy is not an elitist luxury, but the "cerebrospinal fluid" that protects the mind from the molds of ready-made tradition and the shocks of stagnation. You will travel between the corridors of knowledge, storm the wonder of existence, and contemplate the paradoxes of good, evil, and beauty in the mirrors of human reality. A book that awakens in you the childhood of the mind long smothered by canned answers, and grants you the courage of questioning and conscious intellectual rebellion; for the weak do not philosophize. Here, the pages were written for those who have the boldness to light the lamps of wonder and to live life as free people. Bring your favorite drink, clear your mind, and get ready to discover that the deepest secrets of the universe can be told with a simplicity that captivates the soul and speaks to the conscience.
