Answer» Answer: Poetry +2 What is the meaning of the poem the Bewildered ARAB? User Avatar Asked by Wiki User See Answer Top Answer User Avatar Wiki User Answered December 29, 2013 7:22AM Just like the Analects or Zen Buddhism poetry, I think, The Bewildered Arab works as a PHILOSOPHICAL puzzle which intends to make the philosopher (which is the Arab) question the nature of his surroundings. It does not have a distinct answer; it simply encourages intellectual meditation and debate, in this case, the nature and FICTION of the self in the world. But it doesn't mean that it can't be discussed. If you want to use comparative METHODS of analysis, you can look up on certain philosophical trends in the West that deals with the poetry's question. Or you could look into Middle East philosophical traditions to illuminate the kind of answers Arabian philosophers of JAMI's period would look for. |
