The way in which the Arab thinkers encountered and reflected enlightenment and modernism determines their Arabic enlightenment. Some of these thinker's welcoming of enlightenment and western intellectuals, started with tendency to social values and philosophical and mental features of European civilization; thus, this approach with tendency to new researches in humanities, like structuralism, linguistics, hermeneutics, semantics and anthropology by a group of brilliant and contemporary Arab intellectuals like Mohammad-al-Jaberi and Mohammad Arkoun entered the area of criticizing Arabic-Islamic reason or traditional Islamic thoughts. In this essay we try to discuss the basic criticism of Arabic–Islamic reason in their ideas and retell and compare their Arabic enlightenment, by explaining the intellectual premises of these two thinkers.
