Abstract
Adonis occupied himself fatefully with the idea of Legacy and modernity
In his book, The Stable and Variable. He tried through a historical
Telescope to distinguish between tradition and creation in our Arabic heritage
He intended to trace down the obsession of modernity, its rebounds
and creation through that heritage.
Adonis selected from legacy what is corresponding with his beliefs and
his theory about . Stable and Variable“ .He ascribed the stability and
tradition to whom is Arab in origin and creation not to Arabic roots, but to
what is religious or sectarian minority, to violate the holiness of legacy
and to understand the negative aspects in our Arabic history.
