An Arab Philosopher is Born: Glimpses of Dr. Hasan A. Yahya Contribution to Social Sciences
Tina Garfield and Suzanne Edward
In the joint North Central Sociological Associations (NCSA) Conference at Detroit 1991, (Sociological Abstract , NCSA / 1991 / 1530- 1534), Dr. Yahya presented six research papers on theory and practice. The papers cover an array of social and theoretical issues, for example the topics covered were, assimilation, future of social sciences, infant mortality and women literacy, and race relations.
Professor, Dr. Hasan A. Yahya is an Arab American writer, scholar, and professor of Sociology lives in the United States of America, originally from Palestine. He graduated from Michigan State University with 2 Ph.d degrees. He published 70 books plus (50 Arabic and 20 English), and 500 plus articles on sociology, religion, psychology, politics, poetry, and short stories. Philosophically, his writings concern logic, justice and human rights worldwide. Dr. Yahya is the author of Crescentologism: The Moon Theory, and Islam Finds its Way, on Amazon. He’s an expert on Race Relations, Arab and Islamic cultures, he is also, interested in religion, world affairs and global strategic planning for justice and human rights. Dr. Yahya is quite simply one of the foremost public intellectuals of modern time. A philosopher who inspired millions of youth around the world in his articles. He always comment on political, social and psychological issues concern a large number of common people as well as specialists in sociology, economy, political science, and psychology. While his interest was in regional and global areas, he knew that international and regional affairs are complex.
As well as being an author, columnist and academic, Dr. Hasan A. Yahya is the Dean of Arab Writers in North America, the president of the Palestinian Voice, and President of Arab Culture Revival Institute in USA. His worldview comes in part from being a naturalized American citizen who was born in Mandate Palestine and grew up outside the U.S. in different culture. His academic background—a B.A in Arabic Literature from a Lebanese University, Beirut. He’s the first Arabic graduated with two Ph.D degrees from Michigan State University. One on Comparative Sociology, the other is on Educational Administration. Where he covered both the macro and micro levels of analysis, His education, traveling, and experiences give him a set of analytical tools that few in the United States have. In his research, he was always interested in asking questions not only What? But Why? And tried to answer them. His 70 books translate much of his thought. His contribution as a translator, he translated plays (The Intruder), stories Atrocity) , and Eastern proverbs and ethics as well as Quotes on Love and Humors. Dr. Yahya is a poet. He has several Poetry Diwans in both Arabic and English. He published books on family, children abuse, and stories for children.
Dr. Yahya attended tens of conferences inside and outside USA, for example, in Kualampur, Malaysia on the Future of Muslim World and the NATO, and Hong Kong or exploring Learning by Doing. Inside the USA, Dr. Yahya was a member of Michgan Sociological Associan (MSA), and Association of Muslim Social Scientists, (AMSS).
Arabs usually do not celebrate their geniuses until they die. This is true, if this person was non-Arab, and non-Palestinian, his reputation and celebration would cover the world. By the way, Dr. Yahya retired ealy from his career as a professor of sociology after he challenged life when he passed a successful surgical operation to transplant liver. His mission was shifted to publish philosophical issues concerning Human Rights and Justice. He defended Women in Islamic culture, he defended Islam and explained misconceptions about Islam. His two books on Islamic History, and Muhammad, the Prophet of Humanity are educational and historical in nature. He defended the rights of Palestinians and provided certain solutions for the 100 years plus long conflict. His book Palestinian Arabs and Jews: Comparative Study, was a cornerstone in social analysis of the two racial groups: Jews and Palestinians. His final role was playing an editor, where he composed the Protocols of Zion, in three languages: Spanish, English and Arabic.
In short, Dr. Hasan Yahya was of encyclopedic nature. With accumulated knowledge and experience. His masterpiece on theory building was Crescentology which he worked on more than twenty years, and called it : Crescentologism, was a Theory of Conflict Management and Cultural Normalization. His approach was unique to refuse limited theories, and his research and data outcomes supported his holistic theory. his theory was published in two books on Amazon among other 60 plus books in various subjects.
Finally,we want to conclude this article by bringing some of our philosopher quotes: “The wish and will of people anywhere on the globe, are not stoppable.” And “If people lost their dignity, nothing would be expected from them other than revolution to regain their dignity.” (813 words). http://www.wix.com/drhasanyahya/hyb
