Scottish orientalism : ウィキペディア英語版 | Scottish orientalism Scottish orientalism refers to the collective views of a group of Scottish scholars of oriental languages, informed by the Scottish Enlightenment, and applied to the culture and administration of the Indian subcontinent though the East India Company, from the end of the 18th century to the middle of the 19th century. The word "orientalist" is recorded in English from 1779. In its early days and in relation to India (rather than the Ottoman possessions) it connoted not only proficiency in languages of India, but also study of the culture, and advocacy of administration of the existing legal systems and customs. This attitude was opposed by both evangelical and Utilitarian critics. ==Background== Scottish dominance within British orientalism at the end of the 18th century—the period after the death of Sir William Jones in 1794—was almost complete: the only leading exception was Henry Thomas Colebrooke.〔 Others mentioned there are: Neil Benjamin Edmonstone; John Gilchrist; William Hunter; James Kirkpatrick; William Kirkpatrick; Colin Mackenzie; and Thomas Munro. Mark Wilks was from the Isle of Man.〕
