MODERNIZATION AND BEYOND IT FROM A DOCTRINAL PERSPECTIVE

Abstract

The aim of the research is to clarify the term modernization. As its rotation increased, its significance became confused by many intellectuals and writers. Far from being aware of it, according to those who were humble about its release and those who called for it. The article’s issues identify the problem of this terminology and clarifying its vagueness with its theoretician. This treatment took two paths for them: one was during the time of modernization, and the other was beyond its time. As for the modern view of man and the foundations of knowledge, it was unfair and deficient. Because it was based on the environment in which it grew up, which is the European (white) society, which sees its lofty over other societies; European society as the industrial revolution society. As for the postmodern view of man and the foundations of knowledge, it was a stage of rectification of what was missed in modernization in its first stage, its shortcomings and the antagonism of reality against it, and many theorists who saw in modernization intolerance and racism. Despite what postmodernism has done in terms of visualization and consideration, it has continued to suffer under the influence of the first view (pre-modernity), and it has not been able to get rid of the bondage of racism and look at man and his reality with a materialistic and utilitarian view away from living realistically and objectively. The research discussed modernization and its aftermath from a doctrinal perspective. As this claim came to aspects of the Muslim faith, it affected and changed the perceptions of Muslims, the relationship of man to man, the universe, science and reason, and the link of modernization with secularism and liberalism.
