Welcome to the Antonine University site where you will have access to all the information through a general introduction. Due to the fact that the information is moving at a remarkable pace nowadays, its importance increases day after day, and the necessity to organize and transmit it is present. This introduction not only aims at the information, but it also emanates from the principle of cooperation, sharing and human communication within the university production that we intend to reach.
 
 
 
 
Through the links, it will be easy for you to have access to the information related to the faculties, institutes, and geographical sections of our University, as well as the target of the curriculum, the conditions of admissions and the international relations established with partner institutions. Moreover, the address will let you discover the names of the members of students’ committees, the conditions and the application forms on line. This aforementioned site will inform you of the university’s everyday life, the activities undertaken, and the speeches delivered, as well as the pictures of the characters who had been invited. Thus, you will compensate for what you’ve missed, such as debates, and experience exchanges in ontological fields related to the human being in general and the specializations included in the Antonine University making references from its students on the national and/or international level. The Antonine University watches over the democracy of teaching. In this concern, no one is rejected because of his religion, sect, ethnicity, sex, etc. It also seeks to widen the horizons of the competent students by giving them research grants. This is not done in the purpose of the immigration of intellectuals but on the contrary to turn them out and to make them able to develop Lebanon and other countries.
 
 
 
 
Despite its young age, Antonine University has found its place immediately thanks to all the persons who preceded me. It has built its own heritage which it holds dear and constantly enriches. After the studies I did in national and European universities in my 13 years prior to coming here, being informed of the programs of other universities and having passion for the university curriculum and nostalgia for its education, I made the conclusion that the human values vary from one university to another in order for each one in its own way to enrich the personality of the human being in general. For some of them, it is freedom and independence; for others, it is methodology and specialization; still for others, it is equality and justice. What a nice idea if we can gather all these values in one word in order to contain all the main human values. In this regard, it is worth mentioning the nobility, the transparency, the know-how and many others. Let us gather our strength to find this word having maybe a synonym of ‘truth’.
 
 
 
 
According to the traditional definition, the truth is in conformity with the subject. Aristotle considered that the truth lies in the affirmation of what it exists and the negation of what does not exist. Saint Thomas of Aquinas defined the truth as the conformity of the reason with the subject itself. As for contemporary thought, the basic concept is objectivity, in other words, the link between thought and concepts. Furthermore, he shed light on the release of logic of these rooted concepts including the aforementioned transparency. Thus, the explicit nature of the truth hardly contradicts its implicit. We cannot refer to the truth by erroneous discourse and strange slogans. Our university calls for a building and constructive truth. I am hopeful and sure that you will help us to spread the truth, one of the goals that we seek to reach.
 
 
 
 
Allow me to express again my warm greetings, and I am more than ready to listen to your new suggestions.

President of the Antonine University
