His life
During his university life, Al-Sharabi's thought shifted from idealistic to realistic thought when he changed his specialization from philosophy to European history and civilization. This was the turning point in changing the course of his thoughts and beliefs. He followed his intellectual path with self-criticism and to avoid arrogance, he began by criticizing himself. His writings were characterized by transparency , in which he discussed controversial and confusing issues and focused on the necessity of radical collective change, not individual change, to overcome the dominant social culture.

During his time at the American University of Beirut, he joined the Syrian Social Nationalist Party , where he was a companion of Antoun Saadeh , and after his immigration to the United States of America, he remained responsible for the Syrian Social Nationalist Party branch until 1955, when he withdrew from it.

He immigrated to the United States of America after the execution of Antoun Saadeh in Beirut , and worked there as a professor of modern European intellectual history at Georgetown University in Washington . He continued to publish his works in English for university studies until the Six-Day War in 1967, after which he moved to Beirut in 1970 and worked at the Palestinian Planning Center and as a visiting professor at the American University of Beirut , but he left due to the events of the civil war in Lebanon .
His works
He contributed to the establishment of a number of institutions concerned with the affairs of the Arab world and the Palestinian cause , including the Center for Contemporary Arab Studies at Georgetown University , the Center for Policy Analysis on Palestine in Washington, and the Jerusalem Fund , which is a Palestinian organization that provides scholarships to Palestinian students.
He has many publications, including:
Introductions to the Study of Arab Society ( 1975 ) in which he discussed: our social behavior, the structure of the family in Arab society, dependency, helplessness, evasion, awareness and change, the Arab person and the civilizational challenge, the Arab intellectual and the future.

The last period of his life
With the signing of the Oslo Accords between the Palestine Liberation Organization and Israel , Hisham Sharabi was able to visit Jaffa and was enthusiastic about the aforementioned agreement, but he soon became one of its most prominent opponents.
