This innovative book stresses the distinction of the human race from other species by using what the author calls Human Symbols (HS): language, thought, religion, knowledge/science, and cultural values and norms. Mahmoud Dhaouadi emphasizes the central position of HS in the creation of the identity of both the individual and society. That is, humans are Homo Culturus, a notion hardly found in social sciences like Marxism, behaviourism, structuralism, and psychoanalysis.

This innovative book stresses the distinction of the human race from other species by using what the author calls Human Symbols (HS): language, thought, religion, knowledge/science, and cultural values and norms. Mahmoud Dhaouadi emphasizes the central position of HS in the creation of the identity of both the individual and society. That is, humans are Homo Culturus, a notion hardly found in social sciences like Marxism, behaviourism, structuralism, and psychoanalysis. This book explores the strong link between HS and the slow growth and development of the human body and claims that human duality is composed of the body and HS, not the body and the soul. HS explain some distinct human traits, such as why human babies learn to walk later than animal babies, the long human lifespan when compared with that of most animals' lifespan, the human mind, and the potential for the eternal survival of human thought. As such, HS constitute a cultural theory. Dhaouadi also asserts that HS have neither weight nor volume in the material sense of the words, as they are transcendental and spiritual. This new conceptualization of HS helps us understand the quick transmission of spoken and written words as well as how we can put enormous written material onto a few memory sticks. This innovative vision of the nature of HS is endorsed by a fresh interpretation of the verses of the Quran. Cultural Sociology within Innovative Treatise will be a significant contribution to the field of sociology, particularly to the sociological study of culture in both the Islamic and Western worlds.

Autorenporträt
Mahmoud Dhaouadi was born in a rural region called Zreeba near the towns of Kalaat al-Andalus and Aousdja in the northeast of Tunisia where no formal school existed. His father established the Qutab (a place for learning the Quran and writing and reading Arabic) to teach his children. Mahmoud studied his secondary education in the Zeituna school where Arabic is the single teaching language of all subjects, unlike most of the other Tunisian schools. His higher education was in USA and Canada where he received a BA in psychology and an MA and Ph.D. in sociology. He taught at worldwide universities. Professor Dhaouadi has published over 20 interdisciplinary books, over 200 essays, long and short articles, and book reviews, in Arabic, English, and French.
