The relationship between literature and psychology in the Arab world and its role in the literary renaissance

Abstract

The discussion of two separate sciences, each with its history, origins, and principles, is a matter that has been addressed by countless books and studies. However, the discussion of the relationship between these two sciences and their impact on the literary renaissance is something that calls for research and discussion. This is what we aim for and what our study seeks to explore, by answering key questions, including: What is the relationship between literature and psychology? Can they merge? Was this ever present among the Arabs? And what role does this relationship play in the literary renaissance?

We have reached several conclusions, the most important of which are: Arabs have been interested in psychological studies from ancient times to the modern era, and this study has played a significant role in the Arab literary renaissance.
