It exposes the dilemmas of cultural consumption, the monopolization of truth, and cultural narcissism, which strip modernity of its meaning and prevent it from becoming a productive experience.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eBelkeziz analyzes the reciprocal stereotypes between Arabs and the West, advocating for a more rational relationship with the other: one of knowledge, discernment, and constructive rather than destructive criticism.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eAbdelilah Belkeziz is a Moroccan thinker, holds a doctorate in philosophy, and is a professor of higher education at Hassan II University in Morocco.
