Woman’s Mind and Religion Decrease: MUHAMMED ARKOUN’s Semiotic Analysis A Social Approach

Résumé

Arkoun chose woman’s mind and religion as a model to practice his semiotic analysis accordingly to shake the hereditary language. This analysis is part of Arkoun’s project that consists of six main poles which are: Theological, Anthropological, Historical, Social, Semiotic, and Linguistic analysis. This is to put revelation in a questionable situation where it encounters all divine books: the Torah, the Gospel, and the Quran. Hence, the legendary layer that covers and surrounds these books has to be removed. Thus, a critical distance or space has to be established between the reader, no matter what his religion is, and these books. All this to establish a new discourse with which Muslims enter to the world of modernity with great guarantees to success; basing on the idea that the Quran increases the human being level in comparison to what it was in the past, not what it is now .
