The East and West are the names edited by based on Euopean think, which do not exist in reality, born in the
whole European idea and brought to the world through dominant culture. This
two-pole approach refers two cultures and civilizations (West/North) as a
continuous development, and the other (East/South) as a symbol of stagnation,
tension in science, art, culture, economy, etc. This structure reflects the
modern world view that the West has built in light of the philosophy of
enlightenment. Modernization in Western socities, which have different social
traditions, has emerged from different sources and reached the same basis of
modernity. As a result of this reality, non-Western thinkers of modernity, who
act on the idea that principle of universality can be questioned, the path suggesting
that societies that are still on the path to modernization may not be the only
right path to emulate what the West imposed and they claim that modernity can
be reached by going through different paths.
