الاستشراق و إسهاماته في كتابة التاريخ العثماني : برنارد لويس أنموذجا

Abstract EN

Orientalism and its contributions to the writing of Ottoman history Bernard Lewis as a modelOrientalism is one of the issues that have always been controversial among researches in various fields.

Perhaps, the nature of oriental studies which, in general, have interested in everything related to the East including religion, language, heritage, customs and traditions, and which themselves evoke such argument, especially because the authors of these studies are western writers whose attitudes differ.

This controversy is not contemporary; it has historical roots that go back to the beginnings of orientalism since the middle ages.

In view of the various means adopted by the orientalists in the search for everything related to the civilization of the East and its history.

The real goals and purposes of those studies become clear to us, whether they are religious, colonial or scientific.

The subject in our hands addresses one of the orientalists that have always focused on everything about Islam from its beginnings to the contemporary ages; he is Bernard Lewis who devoted his focus to the study of some aspects of Ottoman history, as the Ottomans were those who represented Islam throughout the modern ages.

This will enable us to see the contributions of Lewis in this area and try to know the method or style adopted in his studies by showing what belongs to him and what it does not.
