(Al-Jabri, Abdullah al-Arawi, Burhan Ghalioun ...) to stand up to the thinker Azmi. Bishara, finds that he answered the Arab issue ably and not surprisingly that the "Arab issue" the title of one of his first books, which expresses the concerns of the Arab reality and thus opened the door to the masses of intellectuals and researchers in identifying the central problems of Arab, and even after the first wave of revolutions Arabic The book proved its honesty in the problems that k The Arab state and democratic transformation and elite tribe and identity. There is no doubt that he is an exceptional Arab intellectual who harnesses all his scientific and knowledge tools for the current Arab issues.

Voltaire is Arab

George Tarabishi wrote at the end of his book The Fates of Philosophy between Christianity and Islam that "the Arabs need a philosophical revolution in the Volterian way" and it would not be an exaggeration if we were to proclaim this title - despite their different treatments - but if we took the "effect" as a comparison, Knowledge and enlightenment, which inaugurates a new era. In his writings, Bishara is a turning point for many intellectuals and researchers. He is pressing hard to draw attention to the fundamental questions of politics and society. What is the crisis and what are we working on?

This is evident in his scholarly writings, as he reverts to the Arab question as important as many Arab thinkers have turned to heritage and criticism of modernity and postmodernism. Criticism of modernity and beyond in a country that did not know it is considered a "cut". While not denying the importance of the work of a number of Arab intellectuals who were preoccupied with the Arab reality and made a rich contribution in this regard, which integrates with the project of our great thinker Azmi Bishara, and this is what Herbert Spencer threw at him when he considered that the transformation of civilization is done only by a collective wisdom launched by thinkers.

Renaissance Project

For years, Bishara has established several academic and cultural projects, most notably the establishment of the Arab Center for Research and Policy Studies, one of the most important research centers in the Arab world. In dealing with the central problems that stand in the way of Arab renaissance and reform through its conferences and scientific journals, besides creating a Arab environment where dozens of researchers from the ocean to the Gulf meet.

In the same scientific context, Bishara has established the Doha Institute for Graduate Studies, which brings out dozens of researchers in various social and human sciences, creating a wide range of researchers with Arab concerns who have the knowledge to study their communities and influence them through their surrounding environment.

The lexicon of the Arabic language is considered a civilizational project in itself, which establishes the linguistic and conceptual memory of the Arabic language and enables the nation to understand its language and its intellectual, scientific and cultural heritage. The dictionary is its identity and authorizes its sovereignty and links its present with its past. They consider the question of the language as the foundation of nation-building. In his book What is nationalism?

The revolutionary approach of Azmi Bishara represents the safety of Arab generations through democracy, building the nation of citizens, social justice and a culture that is receptive to the other, interacting with the outside world to influence and be influenced by other cultures.

Academic mission

Perhaps the scientific method in which Bishara works in his research is a distinct method from most thinkers and researchers. Bishara believes that many of the concepts are obscure by the historical shortage and scientific review in our context and are surrounded by excessive ideological intensity. It makes him carry a difficult academic mission. Once again, the most dangerous concepts in contemporary Arab reality are reminiscent of the words of Robert Frost: "I take the path in which only a few travel."

Here, Bishara makes new concepts for the overlapping concepts of knowledge fields (civil society, religion, secularism, culture, revolution, extremism, freedom, sectarianism, Salafism ...) to make them a new conceptual concept for researchers working in our great laboratory. The "trilogy" of the Arab revolutions, in which Bishara is depicted as a historian who is concerned about the future of the process of dating the first moments of the revolution's life, has negated the attempts of the conspirators and the regime's intellectuals to distort the historical narrative of these revolutions.

Azmi Bishara's revolutionary approach represents the safety of Arab generations through democracy, building the nation of citizens, social justice and a culture that is receptive to the outside world, influenced and influenced by other cultures, and ended with the gospel of the French newspaper Le Monde: "I still believe in the resurgence of the Arab world."
