Sir William Jones (1748-1794): The "Good" Orientalist?, Part III
Part III of a three-part series, that discusses the modern historical debate about the British Orientalists, a group of late 18th century/early 19th century century scholars who went to India to study its languages, cultures, histories and societies. This effort has come under scathing criticism over the past 20 years as being fundamentally a racist and colonial enterprise. This series of essays explores the debate over the role of these scholars, focusing mainly on Sir William Jones, the noted philologist and linguist who discovered that Sanskrit, Ancient Greek and Latin were part of the same language family, the "Indo-European" language family. I seek to examine whether there can be a bridging of this debate; whether there can be such a thing as a "Good" Orientalist.
