My intellectual journey in seeds, roots, and fruits – autobiography of Abdulwahab Al-Masiri

The Dar Al-Shorouk issued a new edition of the enjoyable biography of the great thinker Dr. Abdel Wahab El Masry, which monitors his personal transformations in thought and methodology and at the same time documents an entire generation, or part of it. The transformations of the owner of this biography are in no way disconnected from what was happening around him. From this perspective, the events of the author's life are not important in themselves, but their importance lies in the extent to which they shed light on his intellectual development. The author understood many of his private personal life events through the same underlying core topics and analytical propositions he used in his studies and objective research, and not the other way around. But this intellectual journey, with this, is the author's individual journey, as 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, a non-autobiographical biography, is also a non-objective biography, a biography of a person who meets in his private life space with the public, and for this reason, he does not only mention abstract intellectual issues, but always accompanies them with events from his life or quotes from his writings that show how the intellectual (public) issue itself was translated into specific events and facts 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 that covers the author's journey and various milestones in his life.
