Philosophy of Change in Social Transformations: A Contemporary Critical Reading

In light of the profound and rapid transformations witnessed in the contemporary world, change emerges as one of the fundamental pillars of intellectual and social studies. This has led researchers to reexamine the relationship between change and existence. This research addresses the philosophy of change by raising fundamental questions about how transformations affect the nature of human existence and modes of being in an evolving context, through an examination of philosophical perspectives that consider change as a basis for reshaping both individual and collective concepts of existence. In a related context, the study reviews the contributions of social thinkers in explaining the phenomenon of social change, relying on theoretical frameworks and analytical methodologies that reveal the dynamics inherent in processes of social transformation. It also sheds light on the intellectual struggle between the old and the new, addressing the ongoing conflict between traditional ideas and contemporary approaches. The study emphasizes that this struggle is not a negative process but rather a positive interaction that contributes to the renewal of ideas and the reformulation of concepts per the demands of contemporary reality. The study aims to uncover the multiple dimensions of change and its impact on social and intellectual structures, thereby providing a comprehensive vision that enriches the scientific discourse on the future of societies and the transformations of human existence. The findings indicate that the philosophy of change constitutes the backbone for understanding the nature of existence in an era characterized by constant movement and radical transformations. Social change necessitates the adoption of comprehensive analytical methodologies to evaluate all its dimensions, reflecting the depth of the relationship between thought and society. Furthermore, the study demonstrates that the intellectual struggles between the old and the new are not conflicts that hinder renewal, but rather a dynamic process that contributes to the reformulation of ideas in a manner that meets the aspirations of the contemporary era.
