Malek Bennabi’s Equation of Civilization: From Elucidation to Determining the Conditions

"The purpose of this paper is to focus on Bennabi’s equation of civilization (man + matter + time) and expand its meanings and deny some illusions in understanding it in the hope of activating this vision to turn the general rule into a visual program. The paper sets out three tasks. First, the detail in the partial dimensions of each of the elements of the triangular complex of civilization. Second, the interaction of these three dimensions, so as not to fall into a static understanding of the complex of civilization. Third, to clear the shadows of this equation from the some modernist misconceptions."
