Abstract EN

Since his publication of 'Orientalism', Edward Said had received sea-waves of observations and critiques which tried to question the scientific premises on which he had built his work.

This paper is an attempt to address the following questions: What's Orientalism according to Edward Said? What are the forms of Orientalism that Said identified in the tradition and history of Orientalists? How did Edward Said shrewdly and intellectually elaborate some of his ideas to refute Orientalism on philosophical grounds? And what were the reactions of some western thinkers and Orientalists towards his use of philosophical methodology to refute the deeply ingrained beliefs of Orientalism? Those are some of the unexhaustive themes which this paper aims to deal with, acknowledging the very fact that Orientalism can be studied from different scientific angles.

Abstract FRE

Depuis sa publication de «Orientalisme», Edward Said avait reçu beaucoup d'observations et critiques qui ont tenté de remettre en question, annuler et même mettre sous silence les axes scientifiques sur lesquelles il avait construit son travail.

Cet écrit est une tentative de répondre aux questions suivantes : Qu'est-ce que l'Orientalisme pour Edward Said? Quelles sont les formes de l'orientalisme dans la tradition et l'histoire Orientaliste selon Edward Said? Comment Edward Said a-t-il pu judicieusement et intellectuellement étayer ses idées pour réfuter l'Orientalisme en utilisant plusieurs pensées philosophiques ? Et quelles ont été les réactions de certains penseurs occidentaux et orientalistes envers son instrumentalisation de la méthodologie philosophique pour ainsi refuter les croyances profondément ancrées de l’orientalisme ? Ce sont quelques-uns des thèmes que cet article vise à traiter, en reconnaissant le fait que l'orientalisme peut être étudié sous différents angles scientifiques.
