The lecture was delivered by the Dr. Randa Abi Ad from Lebanon under the direct supervision of the dean of the college Assist. Prof. Dr. Abdul Haleem Raheem, also chaired by Assist. Prof. Dr.Ihsan Ali al-Haidari.
The lecturer pointed out that the experience of modernity is a homogeneous culture that includes diverse tributaries and multiple elements, whose emergence can be linked to the change in mentalities and the expanded western political geography that all produced a mysterious history about its beginning, and it is no longer just a concept, but refers to an interpretive way to the dimensions of the human situation in modern times, as well as the view of contemporary philosophy. She added that modernity can be described as the ideology of the market economy including a view of the individual freedom and the private ownership of the world.
