Öz

Muḥammad ʿĀbid al-Jābirī, one of the important representatives of contemporary Islāmic thought, has fearlessly -without hesitation- has stated in his works that the Renaissance of the Arab world and all unhelpful mentalities can only be cleaned with the power of reason, the synthesis and criticism of the old and the new, the examination of tradition and culture, a new method and rationality and construction of the future can only be achieved in this way. According to him, it is essential for humanity to analyze and criticize the understanding of knowledge in the Arabic and Islāmic philosophy and tradition, to remove all unnecessary elements, to identify products and works that serve the needs of the age, and to bring them back to life. For this purpose, Islāmic classical mental traditions -modern Western thought tradition- the rational combination, composition, and synthesis of post colonial Arab thought are indispensable efforts. To present theoretical and practical information about these efforts, stages, arguments, structuralist solution proposals and more... the views of the author, who had discussed in his work titled The Formation of Arab Reason, and our evaluations about these views are the main purpose of our study.
