Description
If Muhammad Abed al-Jabri’s intellectual approach is based on formulating closed problems that are more like prisons, Tarabishi’s approach to critiquing criticism seeks not only to deconstruct the problems with which al-Jabri imprisons his reader, but also to propose alternative problems that are open and promising the joy of rationality rather than the humiliation of dogmatism.
The Problem of the Frame of Reference of the Arab Mind: After deconstructing the myth of the era of codification, as al-Jabri spins it, leaping over the centrality of the Qur’anic event, his critic reconstructs the coordinates of this event as a frame of reference for the Arab mind and as the center of the Arab-Islamic civilizational circle. The Problem of Language and Reason: In response to al-Jabri’s thesis that the Arab mind is sick with its language, which is accused of being “Bedouin,” “sensual,” “ahistorical,” and “uncivilized,” his critic reconstructs the Arabic linguistic reality in its historicity, rationality, and civilizational context.
