My intellectual journey: in seeds, roots, and fruit, author: Dr. Abdul Wahab Al-Masiri

He monitors Al-Masiri's individual transformations in thought and methodology and at the same time documents a whole generation, or a sector of it. The transformations of the owner of this biography are by no means disconnected from what was happening around him. From this perspective, the events of the author's life become insignificant in themselves, but their importance lies in how much light they shed on his intellectual development. The author understood many of his private (personal) life events through the same underlying themes and analytical propositions he used in his studies and research (objective), not the other way around. However, this intellectual journey is, with this, the author's individual journey; he was the one who interacted with the experiences around him since he was born in Damanhour and grew up there until he moved to Alexandria, then to New York, and finally to Cairo where he settled. If this intellectual journey is a non-autobiographical biography, it is also a non-objective biography, a biography of a person who meets in his private life space with the public. Therefore, he not only mentions abstract intellectual issues but always accompanies them with events from his life or quotes from his writings, showing how the same (public) intellectual issue translated itself into specific events and incidents in his personal (private) life, in the author's smooth, deep, and satirical style. This new edition features some additions, most notably a large photo appendix covering the author's journey and the various stages of his life. Number of pages: 760
