Here we are, introducing the tenth issue of the House of Philosophy Magazine, pursuing, painstakingly and in earnest, the path towards foregrounding philosophy in our Arab world. This process is nothing but featuring philosophy in a discourse that addresses the problems in the realms of our life, conceptually and practically, taking into account the fact that Arab philosophical awareness is still making our ancestors’ philosophical heritage a subject of consideration, narration, and even questioning.
This is not surprising, simply because there is no nation that does not make its cultural heritage a subject for consideration and reconsideration. However, the current philosophical examination of our philosophical legacy is not an act of repetition, glorification, or pride. Rather, it is a dialogue with the ancestors, which is not selective, fabricated, or slavish. That is why the focus of the tenth issue bears the title, ‘Readings in Middle Arab Philosophy’. In this context, we do not need to explicate the concept of reading, as it has become uncontroversial that reading is a type of re-writing.
