Antoun Saadeh fi Mu’tarak al-‘Aqa’id, Muhadarat al-‘am 1948

DESCRIPTION

8vo., 166 pp. Arabic text, biblio., index, copy new in mint condition. In 1948, Antoun Saadeh delivered a series of influential lectures, later compiled as "Al-Muhadart al-'Asher", which became a core foundation of the Syrian Social Nationalist Party’s ideology for decades. Despite their major importance in the party’s intellectual and political history, these lectures have not been thoroughly studied in terms of their role in shaping Syrian political thought or their place within broader ideological debates in Syria and the Near East. This work examines the lectures’ history, context, themes, and their role in Syria’s ideological and cultural development. It also analyzes the main topics they address and their contribution to Syrian Social Nationalist doctrine.
