A Critique Of Orientalist Reason In Hegel's Philosophy
Authors : Boudjerida Messaouda .
Abstract
When discussing "Hegel's Orientalism" or Hegel as an Orientalist, we do not limit ourselves to Western perceptions and judgments of the East as a religiously and ethnically "Other," nor to the historical tensions, caution, and hostility between East and West as reflected in traditional Western discourse, which has aimed at religious proselytization and political hegemony for centuries. Rather, it extends to modern studies from a humanities perspective. In recent decades, Arab intellectuals have recognized the importance of studying Orientalism epistemologically, producing research that analyzes its roots and historicity to clarify our epistemological vision and scrutinize its core assumptions. According to Ian Akroun (1997), Fouad Zakaria's epistemological critiques of Orientalist methodology followed Anouar Abdel-Malek's "Orientalism in Crisis" (1983) and Edward Said's "Orientalism" (2003), which marked the onset of these postcolonial critiques. This approach also applies to the writings of Aimé Césaire, Frantz Fanon, and Achille Mbembe, bolstering a comprehensive philosophical critique of Orientalism.
