when maxim rodinson was asked what he thought of edward said in a very recent interview on aljazeera he said.
I never liked from the beginning. he does not know the arab world and pretends he does.his thought is bourgeois and he is an idealist. up until this moment he has no sound theoretical or practical positions I think. his ideas about islam are shallow yet he makes use of these in his literary work, he is a bourgeois. he belongs to a field that i do not like the field of literary philosophy. in my opinion these people do not know one thing very well.
by the by, there is a lot of truth in this.
