From the Foreword by Dr. Mohamed Rahmouni
"Here is a new book, however unusual it may appear... its author has taken up once again the question of method, which was one of the principal causes of the failure of the modern Arab renaissance. فوزي مسعود (Fawzi Masseoud) has succeeded in exposing the corruption of a method that makes us see the world through the eyes of others."
Summary of the Thesis
This book stands as the cornerstone of the "Intellectual Modeling Methodology" devised by فوزي مسعود (Fawzi Masseoud). It delves into the methodological roots of the process of subjugation, moving beyond surface-level political analysis toward what the author calls the "clash of doctrinal centralities." The book explains how societies are dispossessed of themselves through the "conceptual field," and how independence can be reclaimed by rebuilding a solid doctrinal centrality drawn from a civilization's own genius — one capable of forging its own concepts, free from any "dogmatic" dependency on others.
The Book's Conceptual Apparatus
- Doctrinal centrality: the solid intellectual core around which all perceptions, values, and positions revolve.
- The conceptual field: the space in which terms are formed and acquire their power to orient consciousness.
- Methodological corruption: the adoption of Western analytical tools to study our own reality, which necessarily produces results that serve hegemony.
- The layers of the conceptual field: levels of consciousness ranging from basic linguistic meaning to deep mental formation.
The Book's Central Claim
Sovereignty cannot simply be declared; it is reclaimed by retaking possession of the conceptual field from which a society thinks, names, and judges its own reality.
