Description
Summary:<p align="center"><em>Discourse about clash of civilization between West and East is forever interesting to discuss about</em>.<em> It is not only related to political and ideological matter but even more also to epistemological problems as foundation of forming a civilization</em>.<em> So far</em>,<em> both problems have been dominated by political and ideological prejudice in which West always finds itself superior and East inferior; West always shows itself as an ordinate and centrum</em>,<em> and considers East a subordinate and peripheral</em>.<em> Such prejudice then gets its theoretical justification through orientalits’ works</em>.<em> Construction of binary opposition presented and applied in their works indicates a failure of inter civilization dialogue</em>.<em> West views East through western cultural perspective</em>,<em> while East views West as an aggressor that eagerly want to dominate East</em>.<em> In the future</em>,<em> we need an inter civilization dialogue that founded on cultural honesty and openness</em>,<em> not on prejudice and historical trauma</em>.</p><p> </p>
