About the Author: Shibli Shamil: A Lebanese physician and thinker, he is considered one of the first to adopt the theory of evolution and development in the Arab East, and he used his pen to advocate for it, and to link it to life and social issues. Shibli bin Ibrahim Shamil was born in 1850 AD, in Kafr Shima, south of Beirut, and grew up in a religious establishment in a house of knowledge and literature, but he later rebelled against the Church and the teachings of its men, claiming that it contradicted open minds and free understandings. He received his primary education at the American Missionaries School in Beirut, and deepened the study of Arabic literature, Islamic culture and philosophy, until his colleagues called him “The Philosopher Professor.” In 1866 CE, he joined the Syrian Evangelical College in Beirut (currently the American University) to study medicine, and graduated in 1871 CE, after he presented a thesis entitled: “The Difference of Animals and Man with regard to Territory, Food and Education,” in which he stated much of what he found in support of Darwin’s doctrine. In 1875, he went to Paris and stayed there for a whole year, during which he deepened in medical sciences, got acquainted with many philosophical schools, and saw that he had found evidence of the theory of evolution and reassured his mind and conscience of their correctness. A movement active in the late nineteenth century held that the natural sciences alone were the key to understanding the secrets of the universe. Shamil moved from France to Egypt, worked in medicine, and was considered one of the most famous Arab doctors. He saw that medicine should be free and purely to serve people and relieve their pain. In 1886 AD, he issued a monthly medical journal called “Al-Shifa”, edited by senior doctors in Egypt. But his main battle was intellectual of the first order; He took it upon himself to defend his views, speaking out what he saw as mere truth, and his endorsement of Darwin’s doctrine of evolution was met with sharp attack. Shibli Shamil was afflicted with asthma in his last years, and his health fell ill, and he passed away in Cairo in 1917 AD, as a result of a severe asthma attack. He left two large volumes that included a group of his most important books, namely: “Buchner’s Commentary on Darwin’s Doctrine,” “The Truth,” “Scientific and Social Investigations,” and “The Views of Dr. Shibli Shamil.”

«أغرب من آراء شميل.» كادت تلك العبارة أن تذهب مثلًا بين الناس، بعدما أشاع النقاد عن الدكتور شبلي شميل غرابة أفكاره الدينية والاجتماعية، واتهموه بالإلحاد والخروج عن العُرف والدين. ولما قرأ شميل ذلك الاستغراب على ألسنة الخاصَّة والعامَّة وفي أذهانهم، أراد أن يجمع آراءه المطعون عليها تلك في كتاب؛ ليتبيَّن الجمهور حقيقتَها دون لَبس، ويكون لهم أن يقبَلوها أو يرفضوها على بيِّنة. وفي هذا الكتاب يبرز اتجاه شميل لتطبيق فلسفة النشوء والارتقاء، ليس على الكائنات الحية فقط، وإنما على العمران والمجتمعات أيضًا باعتبارهما مقابلين للكائن الحي، يتنفَّسان وينموان، ويخضعان للعلم وقوانين الطبيعة. ومن هنا ينطلق لبسط رؤيته للأديان والعلوم والآداب، ويعقد مقارنات بين الأمم الناهضة الآخذة بأسباب الارتقاء، وتلك المرتكنة إلى الجهل وتحجُّرات الما
