THREE VISIONS IN MODERNIZING TURĀTH FOR THE ARAB-ISLAM THOUGHTS AND CIVILIZATION: A REVIEW OF MUḤAMMAD ʿĀBID AL-JĀBIRĪ’S METHOD

Abdul Mukti Ro'uf, Ridwan Rosdiawan

Abstract


This article examines the contribution of the methodological thought of Muḥammad ʿĀbid al-Jābirī in examining “Arab reason” as a system of thought in relation to modernity on the one hand and efforts to awaken on the other. A review of al-Jābirī’s intellectual efforts finds that Arab reason needs to be re-read rationally and objectively by a way of deconstruction. Al-Jābirī employed the method of deconstruction to explore the epistemological problems in it. After dismantling by referring to three epistemological, ideological, and historical critiques, al-Jābirī finds that so far, the Arabs’ understanding of their system of reason has not undergone reform. That is one of the things that causes the constraints of adaptation to the rapid changes in the modern era.
