Abstract

:Abstract
The present study revolves around exploring the impact of sophists thought on postmodernism or deconstructive pioneers; it invalidates the claim of the singularity of that trend and its control over knowledge and morality. The dimensions of European centralism are reflected in the marginalization and alienation of the culture of the other since the end of the golden age of Muslims; suspicion and manipulation of language are exported in every Arab-Islamic awakening; under any slogan that sometimes exalt the values of citizenship or democracy; all values, sacred entities, and all the pillars of knowledge and morality are doomed to nihilism. This point is the bridge that connects the resemblance and reflection between the Sophists and the postmodern pioneers. Nihilism is dominated as it begins with the skepticism or distrustfulness that are used for manipulative language that ripple in different colors to show the illusion of truth through criticism and demolition of all inherited religious, cognitive, political and ethical values. This will be demonstrated by the sophists and the postmodern pioneers, and then by basing itself on the opposite language with all the trustworthy trends that exalt speech at the expense of writing.This is another point that reveals resemblance and reflection between the Sophistry and postmodernism.
