Abdullah Al-Ghathami's seminal work, 'Culture of Illusion,' delves deep into the foundational assumptions and prevailing discourses within Arab culture, exposing the layers of what he terms 'illusionary' thinking. Al-Ghathami employs a rigorous critical lens to deconstruct established intellectual traditions and cultural practices, challenging readers to re-examine the very fabric of their understanding. This profound book offers a bold critique of stagnation and self-deception in contemporary Arab thought, advocating for a radical re-evaluation of knowledge production and cultural identity. It is an essential read for anyone seeking to understand the complexities of modern Arab intellectual landscape.
