نحو نموذج معرفي نقدي للأمن الحضاري في فكر مالك بن نبي

Abstract

This study seeks to formulate a critical paradigm of civilizational security through deconstructing the dialectical relationship between security and renaissance in the thought of Malik Bennabi, starting from the assumption that his approach to security goes beyond traditional conceptions that confine it to the military and political fields, in order to establish a civilizational and human understanding that makes security a constitutive element and a fundamental pillar in building the renaissance project. The study proceeds from a critical analysis of how security interacts with the various components of civilizational construction, including the intellectual, value-based, economic, cultural, social, and political dimensions, considering it an active element in the dynamics of civilizational renewal rather than merely an instrument of protection or control.
The scientific contribution of this study lies in reconstructing the concept of security in Malik Bennabi’s thought within an explicit theoretical framework that places security as an independent civilizational concept subject to theorization within the field of critical security studies. This is achieved through a methodological linkage between critical security approaches and the objectives of Islamic civilizational thought, which leads to proposing the concept of “civilizational security” as an analytical alternative to traditional security approaches. The study relies in this regard on a critical theoretical framework inspired by the logic of critical security studies, while employing an analytical–deconstructive methodology in reading and analyzing Bennabi’s texts within their civilizational and contemporary context.
