Because we have become accus\u00adto\u00admed to think of a contem\u00adpo\u00adra\u00adry expert on some branch of the Orient, or some aspect of its life, as a spe\u00adcia\u00adlist in \u201carea stu\u00addies,\u201d we have lost a vivid sense of how, until around World War II, the Orientalist was consi\u00adde\u00adred to be a gene\u00adra\u00adlist (with a great deal of spe\u00adci\u00adfic know\u00adledge, of course) who had high\u00adly deve\u00adlo\u00adped skills for making sum\u00adma\u00adtio\u00adnal sta\u00adte\u00adments. By sum\u00adma\u00adtio\u00adnal sta\u00adte\u00adments I mean that in for\u00admu\u00adla\u00adting a rela\u00adti\u00adve\u00adly uncom\u00adpli\u00adca\u00adted idea, say, about Arabic gram\u00admar or Indian reli\u00adgion, the Orientalist would be unders\u00adtood (and would unders\u00adtand him\u00adself) as also making a sta\u00adte\u00adment about the Orient as a whole, the\u00adre\u00adby sum\u00adming it up. Thus eve\u00adry dis\u00adcrete stu\u00addy of one bit of Oriental mate\u00adrial would also confirm in a sum\u00adma\u00adry way the pro\u00adfound Orientality of the mate\u00adrial, And since it was com\u00admon\u00adly belie\u00adved that the whole Orient hung toge\u00adther in some pro\u00adfound\u00adly orga\u00adnic way, it made per\u00adfect\u00adly good her\u00adme\u00adneu\u00adti\u00adcal sense for the Orientalist scho\u00adlar to regard the mate\u00adrial evi\u00addence he dealt with as ulti\u00adma\u00adte\u00adly lea\u00adding to a bet\u00adter unders\u00adtan\u00adding of such things as the Oriental cha\u00adrac\u00adter, mind, ethos, or world-spirit.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
