A World Without Landmarks

"A World Without Landmarks" (عالم بلا معالم) by Moroccan intellectual and diplomat Hassan Aourid offers a profound political and philosophical critique of the contemporary global order. Aourid argues that the modern world is experiencing a severe disorientation marked by the collapse of traditional moral, political, and ideological reference points. The book examines the pitfalls of hyper-globalization, the weakening of the nation-state, cultural erosion, and the rise of populism and identity crises. Turning his lens toward the Arab and Islamic worlds, Aourid emphasizes the urgent need for a rational, self-aware renaissance capable of navigating global turbulence while preserving human dignity and cultural authenticity.

Because it provides a sharp, insightful roadmap to understanding contemporary geopolitics, global cultural shifts, and the crisis of values in modern society.

For readers of political philosophy, international relations, modern sociology, and anyone interested in critical analysis of globalization and contemporary culture.
