The stance on the orientalist studies: An approach of the epistemological backgrounds of disagreement

Abstract

This research paper addresses one of the most important issues raised in Arab scientific studies. This problem is mainly represented by the position on Orientalist studies. The conflicting position on the phenomenon of Orientalism has caused and continues to cause mixed reactions between those who support and those who oppose the importance and status of the Orientalist lesson. This approach aims to investigate the philosophical and intellectual context of this divergent position on linguistic studies and the point of view of the value of the Arabic language.
While this paper presents impact a set of methodological problems in the Orientalist approach, viewed according to the foundations of objective scientific research, it has adopted the comparative approach as a basis for approaching the viewpoints between two prominent trends in Arabic studies in general, represented in a field of great importance, which is the field of linguistic studies.
