During the 1970s Brother Qadhafi formulated the basic principles of the Third Universal Theory, which he outlined in The Green Book. For thirty years he has fostered numerous international dialogues, bringing together some of the world's leading philosophers and academics. Muammar Al Qadhafi's speeches, lectures and talks, comprising many volumes, are studied both in the Libyan Jamahiriya and abroad. In the 1990s Brother Qadhafi published a collection of short stories that became an instant best seller in the Arab world. Today both his famous Green Book and the collection of short stories are translated into most languages of the world.
The thinker Muammar Qadhafi does not present his thought for simple amusement or pleasure. Nor is it for those who regard ideas as puzzles for the entertainment of empty-minded people standing on the margin of life. Qadhafi’s ideas interpret life as it erupts from the heart of the tormented, the oppressed, the deprived and the grief-stricken. It flows from the ever-developing and conflicting reality in search of whatever is best and most beautiful. Part One of the Green Book heralded the start of the era of the Jamahiriya (state of the masses). Part Two inaugurated an international economic revolution which does away with the old economic structures and brings them down on the heads of the exploiters. Part Three of the Green Book launches the social revolution. It presents the genuine interpretation of history, the solution of man’s struggle in life and the unsolved problem of man and woman. Equally it tackles the problem of the minorities and black people in order to lay down sound principles of social life for all mankind. The living philosophy is inseparable from life itself and erupts from its essence. It is the philosophy of Muammar Qadhafi.
