But using a theory without challenge by philosophical basis (critic) is not that critical originality i said. Pro. Said undoubtedly, has a effective theory on oriental problems.He has creative view to a social problem but he has not critical creativity or challenging by a new philosophy and bounding one part of any philosophy. In Orientallism he have had a illustrated reading from some texts by archeology of science.In fact he had role of archive browser. Of course we can see Roland Barthes, Althusser, Frantz Fanon,... of shadows. Then Said's works are creative one but are not critical creativity. <br />But Dabashi is another pill indeed. A person who analysis one of the most important problems in the word and has a objective way.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
