Метафоричний модус англомовного лінгвоетичного концепту dignity

The article is devoted to the study of the metaphorical modus of the English-language ethical concept DIGNITY. The aim of the study is to highlight the metaphorical range of the analyzed concept. The article outlines the boundaries of the three main dimensions of the concept: logical, conceptual and structural. Particular attention is paid to the distinction between the terms “concept” and “category”, the relationship between which is nonlinear. On the one hand, the category includes similar concepts. Moreover, the classifiers of the category are categorical domains, which in relation to another frame of reference – the conceptosphere, are independent concepts. On the other hand, the concept is broader than the category of the same name, as it includes those “optional” features for the category that may undergo bidirectional metaphorical rethinking. The article substantiates the conclusion that the category is a logical dimension of the concept existence. This conceptual dimension exists in the linguistic picture of the world in the form of a fixed and relatively stable information gestalt. It is noted that such stability is possible only in static existence, i.e. in the category representation in the mental lexicon and its verbalization within the language system, which is not characteristic of its real unfolding in the form of a concept during its actualization in speech. This unfolding of the category takes it out of the logical dimension into the conceptual one, transforming it from a category into a concept. In addition, the specificity of the studied abstract concept is determined. It is established that the subject of classification of ethical categories are not material objects but phenomena that have an ideal, speculative origin and are manifested in relation to other mental spaces. Also, the article defines the foundations of the theory of conceptual metaphor. It is noted that the basis of the conceptual dimension is cross-domain projections, which are based on metaphorical transfer due to the associative connections that arise between the elements of the conceptual grid (frame), which is part of a concept. The article highlights the conceptual parcels based on the analysis of lexical and semantic variants of its representative unit dignity. The metaphorical range of the DIGNITY concept is highlighted and source domains are identified, the features of which are projected onto the target domain. The frequency of involvement of individual parcels of the concept in metaphorical mappings is determined. The categorical relations of DIGNITY conceptual domains are analyzed.

Three Dimensions to Understand “a Global Community of Shared Future”

A Global Community of Shared Future for mankind (GCSF)1 was put forward from legalizing of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, China’s answer to the questions of our times, to promote human progress echoing the trend of the times It provides a new world view and has significant implications for the world. However, the current literature is insufficient in helping us comprehend the concept comprehensively. In this article, we will propose a model to understand GCSF from three dimensions, in which we consider GCSF as a process, instead of a static state. Three dimensions are given to grasp both the conceptual and practical aspects of GCSF: the time dimension, space dimension, and logic dimension. We argue that we should understand GCSF from the angles of history, reality, and the future. It starts from the neighbouring countries, then developing countries, and finally seeks to include all peoples in the world. Besides, the shared future is based on an independent and connected future. Common targets, common responsibilities, and a common identity are necessary for laying the foundations for GCSF. The model can be adapted to analyze the political phenomenon of GCSF in different periods and scales. As the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) is the major international cooperation mechanism to build GCSF, we adopt the model to analyze the case of China-Europe relations in the context of BRI.

O vínculo silogístico entre religião e Estado nas Lições sobre a filosofia da religião de Hegel

In this article, I draw upon the connection between politics and religion from Hegelian Logic’s elements. In The Science of Logic's Introduction (1812-1816), Hegel conceives the logical method as the explanation of a content that affirms itself as “the exposition of God as he is in his eternal essence” (WdL-I, p. 44). This assertion is enhanced in The Encyclopedia of the Philosophical Sciences in Basic Outline (1830), in which Hegel claims that Logic must be sought in order to support an understanding the interest taken “in in religion, the State, the law and ethical life” (Enz § 19 Z3). The connection through Logic between religion and politics highlights the sense of “process” in which God, whereas he is activity, constitutes himself as he interacts with the other of himself (world and human beings). The divine moving is composed out of the logical "parts" Singular (S), Particular (P) and Universal (U), and actualizes the truth through the syllogism U-P-S, improving itself from other three iterations: S-P-U, P-S-U, and S-U-P. The Universal transcendental level attempts to solve the joint between Objective spirit (State) and Absolute spirit (Religion). This article also evaluates the usage of the syllogisms to indicate the intersection of temporal and spiritual elements, as well as political and logical dimensions under the concept of “community” in Philosophy of Right (1821), the aforementioned The Encyclopedia, and the Lectures on the Philosophy of Religion (1821-1831).

Економічний світ: логіка

The article examines logical aspects of the economic universe through the lens of its key elements – resources, institutions and interconnections between them. It is emphasized that starting from the New Times one of the main issuesof economic science has been the study of logic, the historical tendency of movement of two key factors (resources): capital and labour. At this stage logical preconditions of the analysis of natural, financial, technological resources acquire considerable significance. The logic of capital and labour is investigated in the context of economic heritage of A. Smith, K. Marx, R. Luxemburg, representatives of the Cambridge school, modern authors (T. Piketty). Starting from ХІХ century, the correlation between capital value and labour value in the national income has been considered the main integral indicator reflecting the state and logic of labour. The logic of natural resources is most fully exemplified by the concept of sustainable economic development, which reflects the content and types of interrelations between the society and the natural environment both at present and in future. At the same time access, distribution and use of resources should take place on the basis of the expenditures-income principle and continue for each generation in a logical and fair way. The logic of technological resources is revealed primarily through the lens of industrial revolutions. Logical dimensions of financial resources have been represented in the works of J.S. Mill, J. Schumpeter and Ch. Kindleberger. Ch. Darwin’s theory of evolution is the basis of institutional logic. Traditions, customs, their evolution, influence on an individual’s behaviour and the philosophy of American pragmatism were the foundation of logic of Veblen’s institutionalism. The logic of relations between resources and institutions is based on the works of B. Russell, A. Whitehead and R. Carnap. Interactionof resources and institutions has been researched in the light of using resources by different generations of human communities and was called ‘the logic of the play between generations’.

The emergence of the Chief Digital Information Officer role and its influence on the future of digital transformation

As digital transformation, innovation and technology advance at a staggering pace, organisations need to rapidly adapt and ‘look beyond’ the horizon to remain relevant, competitive and proactive. Organisations are challenged by the complexities of competing digitally — keeping pace with agile delivery while remediating legacy infrastructure and addressing the need to transform technologies, processes, people, culture and organisational structures in a sustainable and holistic way. This paper aims to explore the leadership requirements and behaviours that organisations may wish to consider in the future and introduces an emergent role in the C-Suite ecosystem, namely the chief digital information officer (CDIO), which blends the triumvirate of digital business, technology and people/culture and shifts towards a sustainable business model rooted in value proposition, value creation and delivery and value capture. The discussion also builds on the five dimensions of logic and perspective, on the basis of which existing CIO, CTOs and CDOs define and differentiate their roles, suggesting how a CDIO may be differentiated from its peers with respect to value orientation and goal achievement as an example, while reflecting on the successes and challenges observed to date having practical experience in introducing chief digital information officers into the organisation.

Effectuation Logic and Early Innovation Success: The Moderating Effect of Customer Co‐creation

AbstractThis research examines whether and how customer co‐creation activities moderate the relationship between effectuation logic and performance in the early stage of the innovation process. Effectuation logic is a promising decision‐making logic for innovation success, but the tools that help translate this approach into innovation performance are under‐researched. Three key dimensions of effectuation logic are examined: means‐driven, partnerships and control. The results of a large‐scale survey‐based study indicate a varied and nuanced role of co‐creation as a means to enhance the contribution of effectuation logic to early innovation success. This research helps increase our understanding of the often abstract principles of effectuation logic by examining its manifestation within the context of innovation and by showing how specific firm practices, here customer co‐creation activities, can accentuate the contribution of effectuation logic to early innovation performance.

Battling Over the Harm Reduction Logic in Addiction Services: The Role of Emotions

In this paper, we investigate how actors in the addictions field have been battling over the introduction of the harm reduction logic – principles of addiction services that aim to reduce the adverse effects of drug use while individuals with addictions continue to use drugs. In particular, we give attention to how emotions have played a role in this continuing battle. Through an inductive process, we identified highly emotional dimensions of the harm reduction logic, and focused our analysis on the emotion-based mechanisms employed by proponents and opponents of the harm reduction logic. We observed that during different time periods, principles of harm reduction were alternately strengthened or diminished. Our findings highlight the difficulties in introducing novel approaches to critical health concerns, such as addictions that have significant social implications. Theoretically, we contribute to the literature on institutional logics by focusing on the emotion-based aspect of certain logics, and by explaining how actors can strategically use emotions to strengthen or weaken particular approaches to healthcare concerns.

Enhancement of bi-objective function model to master straight-line facilities sequences using frequency from-to chart

PurposeThe purpose of this study is to understand the functional power of frequency from-to chart (FFTC) as an independent solution-key for generation optimal (exact) facilities sequences with an equal distance of straight-line flow patterns. The paper will propose a bi-objective function model based on the Torque Method then will turn it into a computer-based technique with a permutative manner using the full enumeration method. This model aims to figure out if there is a difference between the moment minimization and backtracking treatment. Furthermore, the proposed technique will measure the performance of related works from literature to numerically highlight their limitations.Design/methodology/approachThe literature of related works provided two-principles assumed mastering material flow sequences. The researchers gathered and analyzed the three methods – used FFTC as an independent technique – mentioned in the literature then measured their performance with the proposed technique. The proposed technique is based on the computation of torque value using an enhancement of bi-objective function model then application a permutative approach with full enumeration methodology. The bi-objective function model used once to mimic the grand moment value of FFTC and again to study the reflection of minimizing the congestion of backtracking movements on the minimization of total transportation cost.FindingsBased on the analysis of literature and comparative results of its three case studies using the proposed technique, it is found that: there are optimum facilities sequences with rich opportunities of exact pathway selection. Reduction methodology is an inefficient way to generate exact results. There is a gap between combining the minimization of the grand moment and the treatment of the backtracking problem.Research limitations/implicationsThis study is one of the first contributions that discusses the assumption of integration between optimization moment value and its relation to treatment backtracking problem. Also, the illness of reduction methodology to reach optimal solutions. The further direction of this research will highlight the conjecture of searching the exact results for small size problems, analyzing the given data and its logical dimensions, developing logical rules for solving and verifying large size problems based on the exact results (The conjecture of P = NP).Originality/valueThis paper provides a detailed numerical analysis of the most common problems generally faced facility layout problems through understanding the lack of integration between moment minimization and backtracking minimization. Also, the inefficiency of reliance on reduction methodology either in scores of frequencies between facilities with weak relation or the number of permutations. Based on those findings, further study will search the logical philosophy exactly optimizing FFTC manually or without having to deal with a permutative approach for large size problems – which considered non-deterministic polynomial-time problem.

Самозванство как проблема референции: семиотика имени в «Борисе Годунове»

In this article, we continue to address the mechanisms of presenting oneself as another and another as oneself. In this regard, non-trivial features of the semantics of a proper name are described. Based on the analysis of contexts of inappropriate use of a name in a situation of imposture, described in Pushkin's tragedy Boris Godunov, the author considers semiotic mechanisms of transformation and assignment of identity. The article shows that Pushkin's intuition allowed him to see the problems that arose in the analytical philosophy of the name of the second half of the 20th century. Pushkin consistently creates contexts in which the con­ditions of acceptability or unacceptability of deviating uses are tested. On the one hand, these features allow the author to offer an additional, logical and semantic dimension for the inter­pretation of the tragedy Boris Godunov. On the other hand, they significantly clarify the ex­isting theories of the proper name, showing their possible non-trivial, and in some cases, prob­lematic consequences. Simultaneously, the logical-semantic analysis makes it possible to iden­tify the mechanisms of imposture and the communicative conditions for its success.

A Study on Management Philosophy in the Context of Philosophy and Basic Concepts of Management

Philosophy is the field which investigates the perspective on and attitude against life in the dimensions of logic, values, knowledge and existence. It is obvious that management, which is defined as directing and management process, involves a philosophical dimension. Main purpose of this study is to discuss the basic issues regarding management philosophy and field of philosophy in the context of organiza-tional management. The views on management in the dimensions of ontology, epistemology and axiol-ogy; nature of the knowledge of the aforesaid dimensions and definitions of basic issues and concepts in management are investigated and discussed. The study is based on document analysis and systematic compiling pattern. It is observed in the study that organizations are at the extremes in terms of materi-al and moral values based on idealist and materialist philosophies within the context of ontology. In the context of epistemology, management of organizations is differentiated based on true, practical, prag-matist, idealist and realistic knowledge. In the context of axiology, values are formed based on subjec-tive, constant, unchangeable, absolute and objective, variable and factual situations. In the second sub-dimension of the study, social responsibility, quality, efficiency, effectiveness, organizational justice, ruling class, management authority and individual as basic concepts in management are examined in terms of various philosophies. According to idealism, dedication, rationalism and sense of ideal bureaucracy become prominent while control, consideration of reality and assessment prevail in realistic philosophy. According to materialism, labor, collective ownership and class struggle themes are the premises. In reference to liberalism, freedom, individual, private property, efficiency, effectiveness and quality notions are dominant. Pragmatists highlight the principles of benefit, functional work and industrial democracy. As for Postmodernism, labor entrusted to market, deregulation, total quality, liberalism, the concept of bureaucratic elitist groups versus bureaucratic cosmopolite power and the motto of anything goes are prominent. It is suggested that issues regarding management be examined in detail by qualitative and quantitative studies.

Vectors of Argumentative Orientation in the Study of Language Aspects Dynamic of Political Media Discourse

The article presents an attempt to analyze the argumentative constants and variations in the analytical genre of a political media discourse from the point of view of focusing on the formation of different opinions of the audience. This task is solved by using the concept of strategic maneuvering. This concept contains a theoretical tool that allows you to identify violations of dialectical standards of argumentation in the form of rhetorical goals in the author's reasoning. Using the method of random selection, a corpus of examples was formed as fragments of speeches of political leaders. Examples were taken from the website of the Munich Security Conference 2016-2020. An evaluative-critical analysis of theoretical literature has revealed the main characteristics of the political media discourse. It was found that this social practice presupposes an argumentative way of organizing a discourse. The article states that any forms of the analytical genre of the political media discourse presuppose a certain standard of rationality in terms of its logical presentation and the quality of arguments. Using the method of pragma-dialectical reconstruction of the text, the authors illustrate the rational goal of argumentation realized by the speaker. However, the specificity of the genre inevitably leads to the desire of the addressees to present arguments in their favor. This is manifested in the rhetorical analogue of the logical dimension of the text-reasoning. It is concluded that the norm and violations in argumentation show how the language system functions in the formation of vectors of audience attitude.

Financial statement users’ institutional logic

In this paper, we investigate what we call “financial statement users’ institutional logic,” defined as users’ expressed fundamental views and beliefs about accounting information. We analyze users’ comment letters to standard setters in response to the proposed standards on lease accounting to identify the dimensions of the institutional logic that underlie their views on accounting information. Our qualitative analysis identified and validated ten principal dimensions, namely economics and substance, due process issues, measurement, readiness and relevance for use, conceptual foundations, clarity, presentation and disclosure, cost-benefit issues, comparability and consistency, and financial statement manipulation. Quantitative analyses revealed that four of these dimensions, i.e. due process issues, readiness and relevance for use, comparability and consistency, and cost-benefit issues, occupy a medium or large amount of space in users’ comments and are referred to in strong terms, while economics and substance and measurement, although also widely discussed, are addressed in weaker terms. Overall, our study begins to fill a gap in the literature by providing insights into users’ views on accounting information. These insights challenge the “homo economicus user” currently constructed in standard-setting debates.

Capitalismo e immaginario. La grotta, il lavoro e l'algoritmo

Capitalism and Imaginary. The cave, the labor and the algorithm. The aim of this paper is to discuss the controversial relationship between capitalism and imaginary. Using Adorno’s concept of constellation in science, we shall underline different kind of relationship between those. we will try to identify vital conceptual nodes that can illuminate the relationship between capitalism and the imaginary. In the first part we discuss address the attention to two different perspectives aboutof the interrelationship dichotomy between capitalism and imaginary. Starting from Bataille’s reflection on Lascaux’s wall painting, we highlight focus on the difference between instrumental activity and expressive activity, while in a social and historical perspective, we pay attention on the irreconcilable contradiction of these activities that emerge with the modern concept of labor. In the second part, we analyze a case study - an algorithm called “The Next Rembrandt” - in order discuss aesthetical and cultural condition of the contemporary capitalism. How we show in the last part, the aesthetical and cultural dilemmas not only offer us a possible link between capitalism and imaginary but, at the same time, allow us to face up the ethical dimension of contemporary cultural logic of capitalism.

Research on Organizational Human Resources Knowledge Structure Model Based on the Perspective of System Engineering Methodology

The importance of studying organizational human resources knowledge structure is self-evident for organizational human resources selection and training. It is also significant for organizations to conduct knowledge management and gain competitive advantages. In this way, how do we understand the relationship among the knowledge structure owned by the organizational human resources, the functional levels and the business process situated, and the logical thinking applied? This is what this paper will further explore. This paper aims to help organizations define the demand structure and distribution characteristics of human resources’ functional knowledge, business process knowledge, environmental knowledge, logical thinking knowledge, based on the situated functional levels of human resources. Furthermore, it endeavors to provide a framework for determining the knowledge system and structure which are closely related to human resources selection and training. From the perspective of System Theory, each organization is an independent system. The work of any individual within the organization is one part of a system engineer. Naturally, system engineering methodology becomes its methodology. Based on the four-dimensional structure of system engineering methodology, this paper analyses human resources knowledge structure from the perspectives of function levels, environment, process and logic, and further constructs the organizational human resources knowledge four-dimensional structure model (HRKFDM). The knowledge of organizational human resources is closely related to business process, environmental conditions, function levels and thinking logic. The organizational HRKFDM shows that organizational human resources knowledge is made up with functional knowledge dimension, environmental knowledge dimension, process knowledge dimension, and logical knowledge dimension. In the problem-solving process with logical thinking and decision-making, human resources need to comprehensively use the functional knowledge, environmental knowledge, process knowledge and logical knowledge. In each knowledge dimension, the functional knowledge, environmental knowledge, process knowledge and logical knowledge requirements for grass-roots workers, middle-level workers, and senior workers follow trapezoidal distribution, yamagata distribution and trapezoidal distribution respectively. The organizational HRKFDM can be used as an important reference framework for promoting organizational learning, as well as an instruction for organizational learning, knowledge management, building a learning organization, and developing the core competence of an organization.

Percepcije studenata o podučavanju i vrednovanju kritičkog mišljenja u univerzitetskoj nastavi

Through the implementation of structured interviews, this study design sought to investigate the students’ perceptions about the critical thinking skills infusion at English as a foreign language classroom. The purpose of this analysis is to focus on the underlying logical dimensions and perceptions of high and low critical thinking test scorers, and to discover how and why they differ. This research problem has been investigated qualitatively. Students were divided into two groups: the high and the low critical thinking test achievers. The results indicated the lack of differences in students’ answers about the quality of teaching processes and assessment methods that promote critical thinking in English language classroom. To ensure better validity of the results, a larger number of participants should be included.

ІСТОРІЯ ДЕРЖАВНОГО УПРАВЛІННЯ ЯК ОБ’ЄКТ РОЗГЛЯДУ В ПЕРСПЕКТИВНОМУ ВИМІРІ

The article contains an analysis of theses about the Soviet regime from the writer Olexander Solzhenitsyn with commentary and modern reflection, as well as an analogy to the Ukrainian state realities. Examples of presenting the history of public administration by different writers and political scientists – Ivan Bilyk, Andriy Bushkov, Bernard Verber, Halyna Mohylnytcka, Pavlo Shtepa, Oleksandr Solzhenitsyn, Hryhoriy Chkhartyshvili, and others, who created large-scale historical works on the basis not only of the analyzed archives, but also, most importantly, of a new modern view. in a perspective plane are given – as a possibility of its new interpretation, using the logical dimension of consideration. Emphasis is placed on such features of governance as centralization, totalitarianism, militarism, dictatorship, etc., which were characteristic of the Russian Empire and the Soviet Union and characteristic of the modern Russian Federation. It is emphasized that these features should be taken into account as the greatest danger to the development of Ukrainian statehood. It is concluded that these negative aspects of the previous regime were relevant until the end of the twentieth century, because the Soviet rudiments were so connected due to objective and subjective factors with the former countries that were part of the totalitarian system. At the same time, even today, in the democratic regime of Ukraine, some of these features remain relevant, in particular due to the stereotypical thinking of ordinary post-Soviet citizens who either remain in «internal emigration» in modern Ukraine or are «neutral», which also poses a threat to statehood, does not show the real state of national identity. Therefore, any relatively real historical retrospective in such conditions is promising in terms of government forecasting and planning. Key words: public administration, Ukraine, Russia, totalitarianism, democracy, Olexander Solzhenitsyn.

Nalar Fikih Sufistik Fatwa Majelis Ulama Indonesia (MUI) dalam Merespons Pandemi Covid-19

During the Covid-19 pandemic period, the Indonesian ulama council (Majlis Ulama Indonesia, MUI) issued fatwas related to worship practices particularly in terms of communal prayers such as Ied prayers and Friday prayer. This fatwa is important because the worship of Muslims is much congregated held. This article aims to uncover while testing about whether the MUI fatwa produced during the pandemic era, particularly in terms of the Muslims congregated worshipping practices, contains only sharea dimension or also Sufistic dimension. The study uses the Sufistic fiqh approach of al-Ghazali that posits the existence of unification between fiqh (islamic jurispudence) and Sufism for which the product of the law issued contains the dimensions of both fiqh and at once Sufism. The study found that the fatwa of MUI was grounded three dimensions; first, the dimension of rage evidenced by the use of the religious doctrine in formulating fatwas; second, the dimension of logic attested by the existence of rationality and dynamization in the production, for example keeping shaf (lines) on congregational prayer to avoid the physical interaction, social distancing; third, the Sufistic dimension as evidenced by an appeal to Muslims to frequently and multiply chant (dhikr) bringing peace of mind and peace of mind. The purpose of the existence of these three dimensions is to improve the welfare of all people, generally the Indonesian people from Covid-19.

Reflexões da história do patriarcado para esses tempos de pós-verdade

Neste ensaio, apresento a concepção de ciência como conhecimento social, que compreende que sua lógica reside justamente em sua característica social. Sem a crítica intersubjetiva, não haveria como identificar e minorar os efeitos de valores contextuais que acabam por invadir quase todas as áreas da ciência, desde os dados, até as hipóteses. Parto, então, para um diálogo entre os pilares da política sexual – biologia, ideologia, família, força, educação, religião, psicologia – com a robusta hipótese histórica do patriarcado que compreende que ele é anterior à patrilocalidade e à propriedade privada. A ideia de um patriarcado político e histórico joga luz a diversas questões que vivemos nestes tempos de pós-verdade, como, por exemplo, a estruturação e os objetivos políticos das guerras de narrativas. Preferindo o termo objetividade ao termo verdade, faço considerações que a ciência e a educação têm papel dual nas guerras de narrativas da atualidade, assim como tiveram na política sexual e proponho que a estrutura tradicional e ainda frequente do ensino de ciências, em sua forma bancária e autoritária, talvez seja uma das razões pelas quais as pessoas tenham preferências pelas atuais bolhas de distorção dos fatos.

Kant y el dilema de la anticipación de la infinitud

In this article we’ll explore the logical dimension of the so-called Anticipations of the Perception in the Critique of pure reason, in order to dialogue with the possibilities opened from there with the late Kantian work, especially with the Opus postumum. For this, we’ll discuss the composition of the Anticipations en its narrative context to then relate them with the observations made in Prolegomena on their formal or material character and, finally, to think el problem of the anticipation of infinite magnitudes in the Opus.

Gelenbevi’nin İsaguci Şerhi İsimli Eseri Üzerine ‘Delâlet ve Tanım Konuları Bağlamında’ Bir İnceleme

İsmail Gelenbevî (1730-1790) mantık, münazara, matematik, astronomi, tasavvuf ve kelâm alanlarındaki eserleriyle tanınır. Aristoteles (MÖ. öl. 322) mantığının devamı olarak Fârâbî-İbn Sina geleneğine bağlı kalan Gelenbevî, Osmanlıların son döneminde mantık ilminde telif eseri bulunan bir mantıkçıdır. Onun Burhan isimli eseri, Osmanlı ilim dünyasında mantık ilminde yazılan son telif eserler arasında sayılır. Ayrıca onun başka mantık eserleri bulunmakla birlikte Esirüddîn el-Ebherî’nin (öl. 1265) İsagûci isimli eserine yazdığı bir şerhi mevcuttur. İslâm mantık tarihinde dikkate değer bir konuma sahip olan İsagûcî isimli bu risale üzerine çok sayıda şerh ve haşiye bulunmaktadır. Mantık metni olarak İsagûcî’nin diğer ilimlerdeki eserlere göre avantajı, biçimsel bir konuyu açık bir dille anlatmasıdır. Ancak yine de bu biçimsel metnin, her dönemdeki muhataplarının anlama düzeyine uygun hale getirilmesine ihtiyaç hissedilmektedir. İslâm mantıkçıları bu şerhleri, kendi dönemindeki öğrencilerin anlayış düzeyine uygun olarak yazmışlardır. İşte Gelenbevî de İsagûci şerhiyle, döneminin öğrencileri için bu risaledeki anlaşılmayan hususları açıklamayı amaçlamıştır. Her ne kadar 13. yüzyıl sonrasındaki mantık eserlerinde benzer türde içeriklere rast-lansa da Gelenbevî’nin şerhi, kendi dönemine kadar gelen görüş farklılıklarını ele alıp incelemesi açısından dikkat çekmektedir. Eserin girişinde Gelenbevî, hem mantık ilmiyle dilbilgisi ve dînî ilimler arasındaki bağı sıkı bir şekilde kurmakta hem de dînî ilimler öğrencisine mantık öğrenmeden tefsir, kelâm gibi ilimleri tam olarak öğrenmesinin mümkün olmadığını ispatlamaya çalışmaktadır. Ayrıca o, ihtilaflı kelâmî me-seleleri kelâmcıları referans vererek cedelî bir tarzda konuları tartışmaktadır. Böylece o, dînî ilimlerin öğretiminden önce bu ilimler için yöntem olarak mantığın bilinmesi gerektiğini ortaya koymaktadır. İsagûcî şerhinin mukaddimesinde mantık-dînî ilimler ilişkisi tesis edildikten sonra mantık kelimesinin anlamının tahliline ve tanımına geçi-lir. Burada Gelenbevî mantığın tanımlanması konusunda Molla Fenarî’yi takip ederek cihet-i vahde ifadesini kullanarak onun yöntemiyle tanım yapmaktadır. Böylece onun, varlık nazariyesindeki birliği bilgi teorisine de yansıttığı ve yine bu konudaki tasavvufî eğilimini ima ettiği anlaşılmaktadır. Mantık ilmini ilm-i mizan yani ölçü ilmi olarak adlandıran mantıkçı şerhinde, mantığın tatbikî yönünü öne çıkartmaya çalışır. Çünkü mantık, dînî ilimlerin aracıdır ve bu nedenle her türlü delillendirmenin sağlamlığı ve kesinliğinin sağlanması için mantığa büyük bir görev düşmektedir. Bunun için o mantık ilminin kurallarını izah ederken mantıksal açıklamalarla birlikte dilbilimsel olarak da çoğu kelimenin ne anlama geldi-ğini ve bunun gramatik konumunu araştırır. Bu makalede Gelenbevî’nin İsagûci şerhinin mukaddime ve tasavvurât bölümünde yer alan delâlet ve tanım konuları mantıksal ve dilbilimsel bakımdan incelenecektir. Gelenbevî, İslâm mantıkçılarına göre delâletin sözlü yani lafzî olan ve olmayan şeklinde ikiye ayrılmasını ayrıntılı bir şekilde inceler. Bunlardan her birinin tabiî, aklî ve vaz’î olarak üç türü vardır. Mantıkçılar bunlardan lafzî vaz’î olan delâlet biçimiyle ilgilenirler. Lafzî vaz’î delâlet ise İbn Sina’yla birlikte mutabakat, tazammun ve iltizam olarak ele alınır. Gelenbevî her üç delâlet biçimini ayrıntılı olarak anlatır. Bu delâlet biçimleriyle ilgili farklı görüşleri anlatarak ihtilafları çözer. Yine o, tanım konusunda dönemine kadar gelen tüm çatışmaları birer birer tahlil etmekte ve onlara cevap vermektedir. Böylece bir klasik eser olan İsagûcî’yi dînî ilimlerden istifade ederek yeniden kurgulamakta ve ona dînî ilimlerin yönte¬mi denilecek bir yapı kazandırmaya çalışmaktadır. Bu makalede onun bu eseri Molla Fenarî (öl. 1431) ve Davûd el-Karsî (öl. 1756) gibi Osmanlı mantığında etkisi olan mantıkçıların İsagûcî şerhleriyle birlikte değerlendirilecektir. Ayrıca onun bu eseriyle İslâm mantık geleneğindeki yeri, önemi ve katkıları belirlenmeye çalışılacaktır.
