Philosophical approaches in resistance literature according to Ghassan Kanafani

Abstract

The philosophical literature in Ghassan Kanafani’s novels represents a strong beginning for resistance literature, through which he chronicled the Palestinian issue and the Palestinian diaspora with transcendent artistic symbolism.

For Ghassan Kanafani, the power of the word was mixed with the depth of thought and awareness of the issue. Therefore, we find a permanent philosophical presence in everything Kanafani wrote: “Returning to Haifa,” “Men in the Sun.”

Therefore, we wonder how Ghassan addressed the tragedies of Palestine through the pen, and to what extent philosophy succeeded in sweeping the arena of literature and covering the novel with issues of homeland, freedom, destiny, and others
