هل في التراث العربي أسس لمناهج التاريخ الحديثة ؟ : دعوة لإعادة قراءة كتب التراث

Abstract EN

This study deals with the Arab historians, attempts to establish a methodology to study history in the Islamic periods .

This study was mainly undertaken because modern studies in the west do not give the Arab Islamic tradition the attention it is worthy of to the extent that the term " methodology " looked as though it were purely western .

The study shows that the contemporary methodology for history has been overshadowed by philosophy .

Hence one would expect philoso- phy to be a science that helps history , not vice versa .

Although the study dose not claim that Moslem scholars of history , yet it indicates the bases that such scholars have laid .

The study maintains that if Moslems had continued building on such bases , then moslem scholars would have proceded others in providing scholars with the historical methodol- ogy .

to achieve the objectives of this study , the researcher has mainly drawn on some quotations from Arabic primary sources and statements of scholers of modern methodologies.
