Wasted human being: an analytical psychosocial study

Mustafa Hijazi

Hijazi chooses the Arab human being to provide an applied study sample for the concept of wasted human. In this regard, he believes that psychology in the Arab world is very short in dealing with many of the fateful and existential issues of the Arab person. This is for many reasons, including that we are still affiliated with "Western psychology, which was established and developed to serve the needs of the industrial society in the West." Specifically.” Another important reason is the “growing system of taboos that has been exacerbating in our Arab world,” as researchers are forbidden to delve into details that are forbidden to free thinking due to the danger they pose to exposing the Arab political system. Mostafa Hegazy, years after publishing his old and famous book "Social Underdevelopment: An Introduction to the Psychology of the Oppressed Man", is now returning to continue his project of dismantling a new concept, the wasted human being. And between the "oppressed" and the "wasted" human being, there is not only a rhetorical anagram, but there is a semantic anaphora that the reader will discover for the book's nine chapters and an introduction.
