الإستشراق ونقد الإلحاد

Abstract

The West’s interest in the East began long ago as it constituted the strategic framework politically and economically since the conflict between the Greeks and the Persians. However, this interest did not transform or crystallize intellectually until the Middle Ages. As a result of this interest, the concept of Orientalism emerged in the late seventeenth century after the accumulation of Western studies that made the subject of the East, which represents the geography of the regions belonging to the non-European continents, or as the old world was called: Asia and Africa.
