ظاهرة البخل عند الجاحظ : قراءة تأويلية

Abstract EN

Al-Jahizis an encyclopedic figure who treated, with his contemplative examination and discerning critic, many literary, linguistic, critical, religious, philosophical, and socialissues.

Among the social phenomena that Al-Jahiz dealt with: the phenomenon of stinginess about which he collected stories, and he expressed an opinion about its truth in his book “Al-Boukhala”, which occupied the minds of scholars and critics in the past and the present.

How did Al-Jahiz handle this phenomenon? How should we read it modernly, in which we go beyond reading the explanation to reading the interpretation that reveals to us what is behind the words, phrases, style and narration method?
