Cultural Identity According to Malek Bennabi

Culture constituted one of the central and fundamental themes in the thought of Malek Benna-bi. Through this, he sought to highlight the value of identity, especially in the aftermath of the cul-tural, social, and political colonization experienced by Arab societies. Accordingly, Malek Bennabi considers that the identity of nations is defined primarily by culture and the meanings and signifi-cance it conveys, particularly in relation to history, religion, and language. This study aims to define the concept of identity and its representations according to Malek Bennabi, as well as to demonstrate its impact on the revival of the nation, the construction of its future, and the preservation of its essential components.
