Studies and research: Relativistic Tendency in Values, its Role in Western Colonial Mind Stance towards "The Other"

Share the post :

Abstract The research seeks to reveal the relationship between: first, the relativist tendency in determining the nature of values ​​- since its emergence at the hands of the sophists, by adopting the saying that man is the standard of everything, and second, the manner in which these people based their philosophy in general, and their vision of the world and the value and political issue in particular.

 We reach the contemporary Western vision, which in its political relationship starts from this vision, which many thinkers and politicians have criticized, believing that the West practices duality in its dealings with the other. 

They also believe that this vision, toward the other, is based on a contradiction in his perceptions and starting points, without neglecting some of the medieval and modern Western philosophers' stances , and their attempts to reconcile the imported Eastern Christianity- who has the new values- and the nature rooted in the Western mind, even if it contradicts its great ancient philosophers, such as: Socrates, Plato and others. Hence, this paper attempts to provide an explanation for this tendency, and seeks to understand its political and moral implications, as well as to provide a critical reading of it and its applications.
