This article presents the innovative endeavor by Muḥammad ʿĀbid al-Jābrī and Nasr Ḥāmid Abū Zayd in interpreting the Qurʾān through a humanistic lens. Their approach marks a pivotal shift, viewing the Qurʾān as a dynamic text that actively engages with the human interpreter. This human-centric perspective underpins their hermeneutical method, which employs lexicography, philology, and semantics to unearth the layered meanings within the Qurʾānic narrative. The article delves into the nuances of their methodologies, drawing parallels and distinctions, and underscores their profound impact on modern Qurʾānic hermeneutics.
Cet article présente l’entreprise novatrice de Muḥammad ʿĀbid al-Jābrī et Nasr Ḥāmid Abū Zayd dans l’interprétation du Coran à travers un prisme humaniste. Leur approche marque un tournant décisif, considérant le Coran comme un texte dynamique qui interagit activement avec l’interprète humain. Cette perspective centrée sur l’humain sous-tend leur méthode herméneutique, qui emploie la lexicographie, la philologie et la sémantique pour mettre au jour les significations stratifiées du récit coranique. L’article explore les nuances de leurs méthodologies, établissant des parallèles et des distinctions, et souligne leur impact profond sur l’herméneutique coranique moderne.
