The Dialectic of the Relationship between Modern and Contemporary Critical Approaches and Heritage Texts

Abstract

Heritage is a very important issue in modern and contemporary thought, and a preoccupation with the critical awareness of the achievements of modernity and realized the problems that may negatively affect the specificity of Arab heritage texts, which constitute a fixed concept that the current clinging to the Arab past refuses to dismantle, while another current received the methods of the West with a wide chest and began to ask the Arab heritage materials about it, between this and that the heritage text oscillates, and the critical readings vary with the different positions from the heritage text and the modernist method, which generates the dialectic of connection and separation between them, and calls for research into the backgrounds of the curricula and the ends of critical readings, is it the old text or the gain of legitimacy for the new method? many results have been reached, including that the readings of some contemporary critics of the heritage are an effort to gain the legitimacy of the method and its victory at upon of the text, which falls within the dialectic of communication and separation between: the text, the reader, and the method. In order to overcome this problem and others, ways of integration must be explored between  Knowledge, sciences, and methods, identifying the relationship between the reader and the text, and knowing the privacy of the text and the method
