Baghdad – WAA – Fatima Rahma
Moroccan thinker Idris Hani praised, on Thursday, the shows, events and content of the 25th Baghdad Book Festival, noting that its beauty lies in its embrace of different ages and orientations.
Hani, who is hosted by Baghdad at its book fair, told the (INA): “The Baghdad Book Fair is different. Its presence has an Iraqi imprint from different ages and intellectual orientations, and also because Iraq is where the recipient finds books from different orientations and many readers, and this makes it different and Iraqi par excellence.”
Hani touched on the Moroccan writer and thinker Mohammed Abed Al-Jabri and his works, which were followed by readers in Iraq, noting that he is “a classical writer who has been overtaken by modern approaches, concepts and new approaches,” stressing that “his approach was not purely philosophical, but rather a social ideological project, full of historical fallacies, which are revealed once subjected to a critical reading.”
