I myself have been pondering about the word fundamentalist, translated into Arabic as أصولي as you have mentioned.During my univ studies, we have seen the major critical theories and approaches in English of course. The first word which came to my mind was Fundamentalist. Will make further research.Highly appreciate your critical inquisitive mind. Regards,

That's true anis, but as far as I can see, texts mentioning a "fundamentalist approach" are all talking about approaches to religious issues, while Arabic texts talking about دراسات تأصيلية، مناهج تأصيلية are about general research methods on all sorts of issues - linguistics, law, sociology, etc and religion of course. Besides, fundamentalist is usually known in Arabic as أصولي so I think we may be looking at something different here...

But, there are many references to the fundamentalist approach, it is a common approach.
Nesrin May 5, 2010:
I've been breaking my head over this one since you posted the question. المنهج التأصيلي seems to be a very common research method and there are thousands of websites talking of دراسة تحليلية تأصيلية or دراسية تأصيلية مقارنة but historical, analytical and comparative methods are obvious, I can't put my finger on تأصيلية!! Sorry for venting my frustration here!! I don't think it's fundamentalist by the way, that's not one of the common research methods.

inductive approach

The word "fundamentalist/fundamentalism" has an overall pejorative connotation in modern discourse and conjures up negative impressions regardless of the context in which it is used. The Arabic word "تأصيلي" is amply discussed in academia and research forums, and is generally seen along with the word "استقرائي" as being in a state of free variation. The closest translation of this word into English is actually "inductive," which is also what "المنهج التأصيلي" does in scientific research. Therefore, the expression "المنهج التأصيلي" can be best translated as "inductive approach," and " "المنهج التأصيلي التحليلي as "inductive analytical approach.”
