In The Necessity of Philosophy, Ahmed Barqawi presents a serious call to restore the value of philosophy in Arab societies, emphasizing that it is not an intellectual luxury but a vital necessity for understanding reality and transforming it. Barqawi argues that philosophy teaches us how to think critically, how to uncover the real questions behind phenomena, and how to reshape our collective consciousness beyond prevailing ideologies. The book emphasizes the importance of philosophy in resisting tyranny, fundamentalism, and fanaticism, and highlights its role in promoting human values and freedom.
