MENIMBANG GAGASAN BRYAN S. TURNER TENTANG ISLAM
Abstract: This article
explores the study of Islam by an orientalist, Bryan S. Turner. This study
aimed to: first, to uncover the things that underlie the history of thought and
movement of Orientalism. Second, to determine the thought Bryan S. Turner about
Islam, which is specifically intended as a corrective to the thesis produced by
Max Weber about his interpretation of Islam. The results of the study reveal
that historically Orientalism, or the oriental studies movement emerged in the
18th century. This movement is often associated as a movement that pretend to
control and weaken the East, especially Islam. It is not without basis, since
the emergence of Orientalism has led to intellectual arrogance by claiming the
West as a measure of civilization, because the East presented only in
accordance with the construction used by the West.
