الشعاراتي

Arabic to English Social Sciences Government / Politics
This is in an article about liberalism in the Arab world, by a Moroccan author.
بل إن أطروحتنا هي أن الليبرالية لا تزال تحضر في الفكر العربي كحزمة من المفاهيم التي يتم تسويقها بالأسلوب الشعاراتي الذي يشتغل بمنطق الدعاية والتسويق لا بمنطق التفكير والاستدلال.

The addition of "ism" to the word "slogan" appears to be more in line with the trend of the given text.

Slogan or slogans, although good translations for the given term, do not capture the shade of meaning as a concept rather than a mere practice without intellectual content.

Tjhe following is my tanslation of the given context:
بل إن أطروحتنا هي أن الليبرالية لا تزال تحضر في الفكر العربي كحزمة من المفاهيم التي يتم تسويقها بالأسلوب الشعاراتي الذي يشتغل بمنطق الدعاية والتسويق لا بمنطق التفكير والاستدلال
Even though our postulation is that liberalism presents itself in Arab thought as a bundle of concepts that are marketed through sloganism that employs the logic of propoganda and marketing rather than the logic of thought and deduction.
