Philosophical Discourse in the Digital Age in Karim Al-Jaff’s Thought Prof. Dr. Raed Jabbar Kadhim

Abstract

This study examines the nature of philosophical discourse and its relationship with the spatiotemporal conditions in which it develops. It proceeds from the premise that philosophy reflects the spirit of its age and is influenced by social, political, cultural, religious, economic, and intellectual transformations. Differences in these conditions have contributed to the diversity of philosophical approaches, problems, and answers across historical periods and civilizations, as illustrated by the distinctions between Greek, Islamic, modern, and contemporary philosophies, as well as between Eastern and Western intellectual traditions. In this context, Dr. Karim Al-Jaff, Professor of Contemporary Philosophy at Al-Mustansiriya University, presents an intellectual and research-oriented perspective on philosophical discourse in the digital age. His work seeks to identify its major transformations and challenges amid rapid global changes, cultural and intellectual diversity, civilizational conflicts, and attempts to impose unilateral political and ideological hegemony. The study aims to understand the position and role of philosophy in interpreting contemporary reality and to analyze the relationship between events and the transformations that contribute to shaping human existence.
