Abstract

The study aims to uncover critical issues that represented a cognitive field for the discourse of modernity in literature, about which the visions and perceptions differed and the positions and orientations varied, and thus it was the focus of a critical dialogue between "Jamal Shehid" and "Walid Kassab". It also seeks to uncover the impact of the intellectual and cognitive trends that have led each critic to address the issue of modernity from a different perspective. The study concluded that the issues that were the subject of critical dialogue enriched the critical arena and opened the horizons of contemporary critical discourse to the creative achievement, as well as the critical one, from different perspectives, according to two different references. Between the Western reference, the Arabic and Islamic reference, and the ideological stances embodied by them; it demonstrated the foundational motives to address the issue of modernity in literature
