This paper also attempts to conceptualize Borges' philosophical gesture. It seems that we could reconstruct his deep epistemological insights through the metaphor of palimpsest writing. In this way, it is supposed to answer the question of orientalism in Borges' work and clarify the difference between to be an orientalist and re-appropriating the orient. Finally, this paper critiques the \"native orientalism\" of Muslim thinkers in the Islamic philosophical context through the case of Borges.","btype":3,"date":"2010","language":"English","online_url":"","doi_url":"10.12730\/13091719.2010.1 (referring to the whole issue)","ti_url":"","categories":[{"id":52,"category_name":"Modern Interpretations and Adaptations","link":"bib?categories[]=Modern Interpretations and Adaptations"},{"id":35,"category_name":"Modern Readings","link":"bib?categories[]=Modern Readings"}],"authors":[{"id":1424,"full_name":"Recep Alpyagil","role":1}],"works":[],"republication_of":null,"translation_of":null,"new_edition_of":null,"book":null,"booksection":null,"article":{"id":1635,"journal_id":null,"journal_name":"Ilahiyat Studies.
