Explore a fresh lens on human identity in 'Humans as Third Dimensional Beings', where the author introduces a unique dimension that sets Homo sapiens apart – the Third Human Dimension (THD). Traditionally viewed as bi-dimensional entities encompassing body and soul, this book ventures beyond, inspired by a rich blend of cultural insights, social science theories, and Islamic perspectives.Contrary to prevalent social science paradigms that label humans as Homo Oeconomicus, Homo Politicus, or Homo Sociologus, Professor Dhaouadi underscores a vital yet overlooked facet: Homo Culturus or the Third Dimensional Being. The philosopher and social scientist Herbert Marcuse once analysed ‘one-dimensional man’. This work not only challenges social scientists for overlooking the Homo Culturus aspect but also critiques anthropologists, despite their focus on culture, for missing this crucial dimension.Highlighting the THD or the Homo Culturus is imperative for lending credibility to social sciences, especially when asserting the three Homos as fundamental aspects of human behavior. Dive into an enlightening discourse that re-evaluates human essence through the prismatic lens of culture, offering a novel conceptualization that enriches the understanding of our complex nature.

Mahmoud Dhaouadi was born in a rural region called Zreeba near the towns of Kalaatal-Andalus and Aousdja in the northeast of Tunisia where no formal school existed. His father hired teachers (called in Tunisian dialect Midbiyya) to teach his children in the so-called Quttab (place for learning the Quran and writing and reading Arabic). Mahmoud studied his secondary education in the Zeituna school where Arabic is the single teaching language of all subjects, unlike most of the other Tunisian schools. His higher education was in USA and Canada, where he received a BA in psychology and an MA and Ph.D. in sociology.


He taught at universities worldwide. Professor Dhaouadi has published over 30 interdisciplinary books, over 215 essays, long and short articles, along with book reviews, in Arabic, English, and French. His leading recent books in English are Humans as Third Dimensional Beings, Cultural Sociology Within Innovative Treatise, and Globalization of the Other Underdevelopment and in Arabic: Cultural Sociology’s Shortcomings and Is Teaching in ForeignLanguages a Handicap or Beneficial for Native Languages and Identities?
