Constructing their approach on the Hegelian theory of thesis – antithesis – synthesis, the authors highlight the fundamental differences that were in place in the engagements of the humanists of the period with the Oriental Other. The authors cover vast geographical areas and frontiers as well as topics such as empire building, epistemology of the Orient, and the formation of an imaginary Europe.</span></p&gt;}, number={58}, journal={KULT_online}, author={Guni, Oriol}, year={2019}, month={Apr.} }
