The Teaching of Philosophy in Moroccan Colleges: The Faculty of Arts and Humanities at Ben M’sik as Example

Abstract

The presence of philosophy in Morocco is threatened by conservative thinking and technocratic management that has formed an alliance with theology and technology. In contrast, philosophy is clearly and strongly marked as the creator of Morocco’s cultural glory and fame. In its relation with power, philosophy calls for independence on the one hand and suffers from attempts to make it follow another method, in addition to the injuries that have come from within, in terms of the establishment of traditions in philosophy teaching and philosophical thought far removed from the spirit of philosophy.
