Abstract

 I delineate the conceptions of “the West” and "Occidentology" in Davari's On the West in order to explain them and their relationship with the concept of “us”. The explication of The West seems to be necessary to conceptualize the modern world as universality and condition in addition to the relation of our situation and the western world in Davari's book. I hereby put Davari’s concept of The West in the framework of foregoing relationship. Afterwards, I reorient the issue within a further conceptual stage in order to demonstrate potentialities and deficiencies of meaning layers of Davari's Occidentology.
