Comparative and Historical Analysis of the Ideology by Zaki Al-Arsuzi, Philosopher of the Arab Nation

Alm. Systematic analysis of Zaki Najib Ibrahim al-Arsuzi philosophical views, who was one of the founders, ideologues and theorists of the Arab Socialist Ba'ath Party. Methodology . Research and Introduction of the main linguistic-philosophical theories and nationalist doctrines by Zaki Najib Ibrahim al-Arsuzi to the Russian historiography. Results. The central theme of al-Arsuzi ideology was the assumption that the structure of the Arabic language determines how and in what way the native speaker thinks, and that it is the language that shapes the worldview of the speaker. These ideas are reflected in the Sepir&Whorf hypothesis of linguistic relativity: the structure of language, the system of concepts embedded in it, determines the way of cognizing the surrounding reality. Al-Arsuzi's philosophical picture of the world is aimed at finding an intuitive way of recognizing the deep, metaphysical essence of things through the Arabic language. Its formulation was mainly influenced by Johann Gottlieb Fichte and Henri Bergson. Research implications . The theoretical aspect of the paper contributes to the development of research in the field in the national philosophy of the Arab world and the Arab intellectual tradition of the Modern Age. In a practical perspective, the study contributes to the analysis of the ideological basis of Arab nationalism, which is essential for a better understanding of the cultural and ideological foundations of Regional Politics.
