Translation, research: Abdul Rahman Boushnak Number of pages: 304 pages), and the author in these articles assumes that thinking itself arises from the facts of life experience and remains connected to it as the only landmarks through which one can perceive their stance and direction. And since these exercises revolve around the past and the future, they combine criticism and experience, but the experiences do not attempt to design a utopian future, nor does criticism of the past and traditional opinions aim to overthrow them. Additionally, the aspects of criticism and experience in the following articles are not clearly separated from each other, although some chapters tend more towards criticism than towards experience, and other chapters are closer to experience than criticism. And this gradual shift from interest in experience to interest in criticism did not happen randomly, as the element of experience exists in explaining and criticizing the past, and this explanation primarily aims to discover the true sources of traditional opinions, with the intention of restoring their true spirit after it has evaporated, and unfortunately, disappeared from the key words in the language of politics — such as freedom, justice, authority, logic, responsibility, virtue, power, and glory — and only the empty shells remain to express almost everything, without regard for the dangerous truth underlying them.
