The world from a Western perspective

The world from a Western perspective is an attempt to discuss a very important methodological and intellectual issue, presented by Dr. Abdel Wahab El Masiri. Since the end of the eighteenth century, what is called the "cultural invasion" began, which is an attempt by the Western human to impose its models on the peoples of the world. These models proved their usefulness in the Western world in the economic and political fields, but they have dark and destructive aspects in other areas. Every society has its biases, but what happened is that many peoples of the world began to abandon their biases stemming from their historical, human, and existential realities, and started adopting Western biases, so they began to see themselves from the Western point of view. This book is divided into two parts; in the first part, El Masiri discusses the issue of bias, reviewing bias towards the cognitive model based on the materialist civilization associated with modern Western civilization. In the second part, he attempts to present an alternative model. Dr. Abdel Wahab El Masiri sounds an early alarm because if we do not pay attention to the danger of the civilizational invasion that undermines us from within and from outside, destroys our identity, our civilizational forms, our cognitive and value systems, then perhaps our survival will not be as a cohesive entity with a specific identity, but rather as an external shell without content.
