المرأة العربية بين وعيين تاريخيين : بحثا عن نهضة عربية ثانية

الملخص EN

The Arab intellectual currents varied in their attitude towards Arab women according to their vision and awareness of history, divided into three positions.

The first position: The fundamentalist position is that history is a movement back to the past.

The best times are the past, where Arab-Islamic civilization is called upon to return to heritage and Islamic religious law in order to rise again and emerge from this civilizational crisis.

Accordingly, they consider that the Islamic sharia has given women all their rights and that in order for women to advance, the rights granted to them by the Islamic sharia must be reverted to, adopted and applied.

As for the second position: It's represented by modernists who argue that the movement of history must be a leap forward, that is, into the future.

Progress does not take place by going backwards, as the fundamentalist trend went, but rather by transcending this past, and creating a knowledge break.

As one of the pillars of the Renaissance, women must overcome the obstacles and restrictions of this ancient past, and obtain all their rights according to the changes of the times and contemporary realities.

The third position is a middle ground between the two former positions, in which the past/heritage should not be left behind.

Contemporary reality and its variables cannot be ignored, but must be combined with contemporary authenticity.

The proponents of this trend call for renewal and enlightenment, and demand the rights of women in accordance with what is commensurate with heritage and contemporary reality.
