ORIENTALISM FROM ISLAMIC VIEW
Abstract
Orientalism is a doctrine based on the isolation of the East (opposed to the West) as a special cultural, ideological, historical and sociopolitical phenomenon and reference point in the implementation of cultural or political activities, which was started in the colonial era between the 18-th and 19-th centuries. It is divided into three main stages: colonial, post-colonial and the new Orientalism. Orientalism was created by the European world to study the countries of the East in the following directions: directions: history, economics, geography, language, literature, anthropology, arts, religions, philosophy, archeology. Its purpose is the subordination and control of the Eastern world in accordance with the objectives of the European countries. The effects of orientalism can be divided into positive – the dissemination of Islamic heritage, the transfer of Islamic and Oriental knowledge in general to the West, the evolution of the critical mental approach in the West, the coloring of the literary and artistic movement in the West in an oriental tone, and the negative effects – The colonial, commercial, political, scientific, religious controls.
