| Summary: | Islam and the wider category of "the Orient" recur in both J.W. Goethe's and G.W.H. Hegel's work. Their intellectual output has shaped the West's view of Muslim culture and religion in modernity and beyond. In this essay, we will compare the two thinkers' positions on specific topics concerning Islam: its historical dimension, theology, and spiritual value. We will then discuss how their respective views might represent possible directions in the contemporary relationship between the West and Islam. (English) |
