About the author
Ali Al-Wardi
48 books29 followersAli Hussain Muhsin Al-Wardi (Arabic: علي الوردي) was an Iraqi sociologist and public intellectual specialized in the field of social history.
Born in Kadhimiya, Baghdad in 1913, to a religious and very traditional family. He grew up defying his family's strict non-modern-educational policy, where his father wanted him to learn a craft instead of reading books. Nevertheless, Al-Wardi grew up with a disliking for work and crafts and a strong liking for books.
He managed to finish his elementary and high school and was awarded the number one student in the Kingdom of Iraq. He later was appointed as a teacher in different elementary and high schools across Iraq, before winning a scholarship to the American University of Beirut, where he received his bachelor's degree in 1943. He was back in Iraq and was forced into marriage per his father's orders.
A few years later, he traveled to the United States to attain his master's and PhD degrees. He earned his master's degree in 1948 from The University of Texas and his PhD in 1950 from the same university. During that time he used to spend his summers in the United Kingdom learning English in available institutes.

يذكر علي الوردي في هذا الكتاب
جزء من مذكراته
هذا الجزء الذي كان له الفضل الاكبر في تكوين شخصيته
فهو كما يذكر في كتاباته ان تكوين شخصية الفرد يعتمد على عاملين
الاول وراثي
والثاني عامل المحيط والبيئة
وقد ذكر في هذا الكتاب بشكل مختصر تأثيرهما في تكوين شخصيته
كما شرح فيه كيف ان لو لا وجود انور باشا في تركيا في الحرب العالمية الاولى لكان علي الوردي مجرد عطار في احد ازقة الكاظمية او كاتب عرائض

يضم هذا الكتاب أطرافا من سيرة عالم الاجتماع و المفكر الكبير الدكتور علي الوردي كان قد نشرها في ثمانينات القرن الماضي .
يسلط الضوء على حياة عاشها ، و عرف عن قرب و ادراك الخفي من اسرارها و الى جانبها احاديث نشرت في مجلة " التضامن "
التي كانت تصدر في لندن و فيها يتوقف المحاور و محاوره عند قضايا بعضها كان يشغل الدكتور الوردي و بعضها الاخر يشغل الوسط الثقافي فإن لم يشكل هذا الكتاب بتسمية إضافة الى تراث الدكتور الوردي فهو يقدم اضاءة لجوانب من حياته و تفكيره .
