Al-Madraḥiyya (Material Spiritualism): Antoun Saadeh (1904–49)

View through CrossRef
This chapter examines the philosophy of Antoun Saadeh, who coined the term Al-Madraḥiyya, or Material Spiritualism. Saadeh’s philosophy is a complex blend of materialism and spiritualism, aiming to create a holistic worldview that integrates physical and spiritual aspects of existence. The chapter discusses Saadeh’s critique of both Western materialism and traditional spiritualism, arguing for a philosophy that encompasses the material conditions of life while acknowledging the spiritual dimension that underpins human existence. His work is positioned as a response to the dual challenges of modernity and cultural preservation.
