Al-Wardi is an enlightenment pioneer and sociologist who contributed to establishing the first department of sociology at the College of Arts, University of Baghdad in 1952. He was known for adopting modern theories in analyzing the social and historical reality in Iraq, as he did in the book Preachers to the Sultans and the Personality of the Individual and other related works. He moved with a spontaneous intellectual tour between the appearance of events and their essence in a simple language that is understandable to the recipient, making his narration of historical and contemporary events something close to the mind and heart alike. AlWardi’s personality sparked many reactions in intellectual and cultural circles due to the boldness of his proposal and the sensitivity of the topics he presented in the field of sociology according to his famous theses and hypotheses about duality in personality, the conflict of civilization and nomadism, social discord, anthropology, the concept of reason and rational logic, and many others. In this research, we discussed his most prominent religious, social, and anthropological intellectual propositions that contributed to the emergence of sociology in Iraq at the beginning of the 1950s, relying on the descriptive and analytical method as a working method for investigating facts in this field.
