THE CRITICISMS THAT IMAM MATURIDI DIRECTED TO KHARIJITES IN THE CONTEXT OF MURTAKIB AL-KABIRA

The Kharijites are cited as the first sect in the history of Islam to initiate takfir and terrorist acts. According to them, if a believer who has committed a “big sin” does not repent, he will immediately become a disbeliever and will be required to be executed. There are some contradictions in the sources regarding this concept, which comes as “murtakib al-kabira”. Imam Maturidi, based on many reasonable and traditional arguments, proved that the views of Kharijites regarding the “murtakib al-kabira” contradicted reason and the Qur’an. In addition to quoting Imam Maturidi’s definition of “grave sin”, the article analyzes the views expressed by the scholar against the thoughts of Kharijites in this regard.

Evaluating Reasoning in Natural Arguments: A Procedural Approach

In this paper, we formulate a procedure for assessing reasoning as it is expressed in natural arguments. The procedure is a specification of one of the three aspects of argumentation assessment distinguished in the Comprehensive Assessment Procedure for Natural Argumentation (CAPNA) (Hinton, 2021) that makes use of the argument categorisation framework of the Periodic Table of Arguments (PTA) (Wagemans, 2016, 2019, 2020c). The theoretical framework and practical application of both the CAPNA and the PTA are described, as well as the evaluation procedure that combines the two. The procedure is illustrated through an evaluation of the reasoning of two example arguments from a recently published text.

Pragmatics of Communicative Tonality in Prohibiting Acts in English Educative Converse

Communicative tonality is introduced in terms of the utterance style that expresses the speaker’s opinion on the topic, assessment of interpersonal relations with the partner, in a pair with self-presentation in converse acts. It specifies the utterance proposition with the language means that are to transfer thoughtful, contemptuous, adverse, facetious, ironical, other emotional shades of speech. The research explores the notion of communicative tonality and methodology of its study in the theory of discourse and Cross-Cultural communication; examines the communicative tonality of prohibition as an aspect of pragmatic stylistics of communication; specifies its linguistic means in English-related tradition of educative converse. We propose that communicative tonality in the situation of prohibition is stylistically flexible and assembles symbolic obstacles or restrictions in a child’s conduct. Aimed at educative socializing goals, in traditional English converse communicative tonality of prohibition is characterized by dynamic unity of prohibiting genre conventions with paternalism and/or liberal-and-democratic mitigation tactics or authoritative intensification, variability of direct and indirect volition pressure acts. Mitigation in prohibition is achieved with modal verbal predicates and conditional syntactic constructions of utterances that are used by adults to explain reasons of banning or refusal. Signifying the status, the adult gives reasonable arguments, describes psychological states of sadness or disappointment. The alternations of thoughtful and friendly tonality make provision for variability of vertical and horizontal vectors of social distance while communicating with a child. Intensification of authoritativeness is marked by speech acts of strict banning, refusal, objections, which point to vertical vector of excessive control.

Analisis pola argumentasi siswa dalam menyelesaikan soal permutasi dan kombinasi

Argumentation is a person's way to face every question, issue and argue in the face of every problem. Argumentation is very necessary to know the understanding of students' concepts and so that students can explain logically the appropriate stages of completion to solve problems. This study aims to describe the pattern of argumentation used by students in solving permutations and combinations problems. This type of research is descriptive qualitative. The research subjects were 3 students of class XI IPA at MA Darul Aitam Jerowaru which consisted of 1 student with high math ability, 1 student with moderate math ability, and 1 student with low math ability. Sampling was done by using purposive sampling type quota sampling. Data collection techniques used written tests and interviews, then analyzed based on indicators of student argumentation patterns in solving permutations and combinations. Based on this, the argumentation pattern used in this study is a combination of Tulmin's argumentation pattern and Mc. Neill & Karajicik's argumentation pattern, namely, data, claim, evidence, reasoning and rebuttal. The results of this study are students with high mathematical abilities have a pattern of argumentation, namely, data, claims, evidence, which are given correctly. Students with moderate ability have argumentation patterns, namely, data, claim, reasoning, and rebuttal, which are given correctly and students with low mathematical abilities have argumentation patterns, namely, data, claim, and rebuttal, which are given correctly.

Methodology of the Commentary Makhzan Al-‘Irfān by Lady Amin (Regarding the Interpretation of the Verses Related to “Women” in the Qur'an)

This descriptive-analytical research is devoted to the review of the methodology and interpretive approach of Lady Nusrat Begum Amin in her commentary of Makhzan al-‘Irfān. The results show that Lady Amin, considering various narrations that confirm and encourage the use of the Qur’an in interpretation, has widely used the interpretive method of Qur'an by Qur'an. Narrations, as the second source of interpreting the Qur'an, have played a significant role in this commentary as well. In addition, the use of the source of reason (aql) and rational arguments is also often seen in the interpretation of verses to the extent that sometimes the commentator prefers the rule of reason to the appearance (zāhir) of the verse and commentators’ opinions. In this commentary, sufficient attention has been paid to the role of Arabic literature for interpreting the Qur'an, since in its different places, morphological and syntactic issues have been used extensively and the interpreter sometimes mentions the use of rhetorical methods in the verses. There are also many philosophical issues in this book, which itself proves the author's profound philosophical knowledge. The commentator has also tried to discover the esoteric meanings of the verses of the Qur'an, noting that in discovering the esoteric meanings, she has paid attention to the appearance of the verses and has taken very cautious steps in this field. In this commentary, theological and doctrinal issues are also discussed in detail along with some verses. Theological discussions are in some cases with an independent title and in some cases in the form of questions and answers. In her commentary, Lady Amin has dealt with jurisprudential issues very little and only for a brief explanation of the verses. Considering the prominent role of different interpretive methods and approaches, her interpretation can be considered as a comprehensive one. In interpreting the verses related to women in the Qur'an, Lady Amin has emphasized paying attention to the types of inherent and non-intrinsic differences between men and women. He stressed the need to pay attention to these differences in providing a correct interpretation of verses related to women.

Intuitionistic Fuzzy Dombi Hybrid Decision-Making Method and Their Applications to Enterprise Financial Performance Evaluation

In the era of the knowledge-based economy, the active branch of information technology plays a crucial role. The enterprise administration covers efficient changes, and it has been entered in the age of reasonable management argument. The standard enterprise financial review evaluation centers on the importance of bondholders. The investor takes operational data as an issue and pays surveillance to the study of material attraction and the result. Otherwise, it is not intelligent to adjust in a modern marketplace period. Therefore, enterprise financial directing the interests of shareholders and business policies that are taking into account stakeholders’ needs is continually investigated in the future lively competition. In that view, accumulating data is an essential research tool to draw the researchers’ recent attention during the knowledge investigation. In this research, multiple attribute decision-making (MADM) approach has been proposed for the enterprise financial performance evaluation. To this view, financial performance evaluation has been done with intuitionistic fuzzy arguments. We apply new Dombi hybrid operators such as the intuitionistic fuzzy Dombi hybrid average (IFDHWA) operator and intuitionistic fuzzy Dombi hybrid geometric (IFDHWG) operator. These operators have a good advantage of adaptability in the working parameter. Finally, a realistic instance for enterprise financial performance is reported following comment on the benefit or utility of the recommended output.

Designing informatics curriculum for K-12 education: From Concepts to Implementations

Computing as a discipline has common roots with mathematics and written languages, and computing as a way of thinking and handling has been integral to human culture since ever. This is not only a reasonable argument for convincing society to consider informatics as one of the very fundamental pillars of education, but it also puts the potential contributions of teaching informatics in schools into the correct perspective in the context of science and humanities. Many European countries are switching from teaching information technologies to informatics education during the current second decade of this century. Informatics curriculum is becoming a central part of school education. We explain and design a way of developing informatics curriculum that offer the critical competences new generations need to survive and thrive in todays’ knowledge society and will allow them to contribute to the future development of society. These competences also strongly support the development of their intellectual potential and creativity. Our design of informatics curriculum takes into account the interaction with other scientific disciplines as well with the subject didactics, pedagogy and psychology. The starting point is merging constructionism and critical thinking. Constructionism with its “learning by doing” and “learning by getting things to work” enables designing a teaching process in which students acquire knowledge by creating products, analysing the properties and the functionality of their own products, and finally derive motivation to improve these products. Critical thinking asks us not to teach products of science and technology and their application, but to teach the creative process of their development. To implement this approach, we use the historical method allowing the students to learn by productive failures in the process of searching for a solution. To organize the process of learning and make the different steps available to the appropriate age groups we take into account the cognitive dimensions of the revised taxonomy of Bloom. To illustrate how the combination of all these concepts works we present a detailed curriculum for algorithm design, programming, robotics, and communication in networks.

In the Region of Middle Axioms: Judicial Dialogue as Wide Reflective Equilibrium and Mid-level Principles

This article addresses the use of foreign law in constitutional adjudication. We draw on the ideas of wide reflective equilibrium and public reason in order to defend an engagement model of comparative adjudication. According to this model, the judicial use of foreign law is justified if it proceeds by testing and mutually adjusting the principles and rulings of our constitutional doctrines against reasonable alternatives, as represented by the principles and rulings of other reasonable doctrines. By this, a court points to a wide reflective equilibrium, justifying its own interpretations with reasonable arguments, i.e. arguments that are acceptable from the perspectives defined by other constitutional doctrines, as endorsed by other courts. The point of a judicial engagement of this sort is to work out an overlap between different, reasonable, doctrines in the judicial forum, as part of a liberal forum of public reason. Here, the exercise of public reason filters out the premises of comprehensive doctrines so as to leave us in the region of an overlapping consensus: a region of mid-level principles that can be shared, notwithstanding the fact of legal pluralism.

Precision Therapy for Brain Tumors in Hereditary Syndromes.

Nervous system tumors arising in the setting of monogenic, hereditary cancer predisposition syndromes are unique in that the initiating genetic event in tumor formation is known. This knowledge provides a powerful treatment approach if the alteration or pathway can be targeted with a therapeutic agent. A reasonable argument can be made for the use of targeted agents in these tumor patients, even though many of them have FDA approval only for other tumor types. It is our practice to use and employ targeted therapy when standard treatments have failed or represent an unattractive option. Over time, however, targeted therapies will likely become first-line options.

Omnis determinatio est negatio

Abstract Omnis Determinatio est Negatio. On Habermas, Myth, and Truth With his monumental genealogy of Western philosophy Jürgen Habermas delivers an achievement that is worthy of great praise. In carefully constructed arguments he presents in detail the close connection between, and the mutual indebtedness of, religion and philosophy as they developed in the West for more than two millennia. With regard to the current state of affairs he acknowledges that we should continue to engage with subjects such as purpose, meaningfulness, and how to behave. He proposes that where religion is withdrawing, philosophy should take its place. In spite of its great merits, there are some fundamental shortcomings in the overall image Habermas wishes to convey. By suggesting that Western religion and philosophy have been the major driving forces not only of cognitive but also of ethical progress, he underestimates the moral value of pre-Socratic and other holistic world views that radically differ from the idiosyncratic Western one. For example, he perceives Homer’s mythological thinking as nothing but a primitive state of mind against which the ethical and intellectual progress of later developments could come to the fore. This paper proposes that we should give much more weight to the difference between the ‘cognitive’ and the ‘ethical’ than Habermas does. In principle, as a form of argumentative reasoning, philosophy belongs to the (cognitive) domain of truth. As such, it is not a suitable successor to religion. On the other hand, provided they operate primarily within their own domain – which is the domain of meaningfulness –, religion (in whatever form), literature and the arts, ancient myth, friendship, love, and humour may still be best equipped to sharpen our sense of justice and help us deal with feelings of moral disorientation and fragmentation.

DOMINASI SIMBOLIK DALAM PENEGAKAN HUKUM PIDANA BERDASARKAN PERSPEKTIF PIERRE-FELIX BOURDIEU

Refining activities Legal Studies as a science that is sui generis, in the end, have exposed a pattern of reasoning and legal arguments against the concrete fact to be very rigid and lexical. In fact, law that emerges from a social agreement and grows together with the development of society, has taken a distance (distantiation) from society, which is the origin of the growth of the law itself. It is Pierre-Felix Bourdieu who argues that every social praxis (action) - including the behavior of law enforcers, will always produce knowledge based on legal norms and power - as capital, through the absorption of values that internalize in themself (habitus). This research is a normative legal research with a statutory approach, a conceptual approach, a semiotic approach, and a critical discourse analysis approach. The results of this study indicate the consequences that occur through symbolic domination as doxa to defend the interests of the executive law enforcement agency.

Fora dos holofotes: estudo empírico sobre o controle da imparcialidade dos ministros do STF

A efetividade dos mecanismos de controle da imparcialidade nos tribunais tem papel significativo na construção de sua reputação e autoridade. No Supremo Tribunal Federal (STF), as arguições de impedimento e suspeição são instrumentos centrais para este controle. O objetivo deste artigo consistiu na avaliação da efetividade desses instrumentos, aprofundando o diagnóstico de que nenhuma arguição de impedimento ou suspeição foi levada ao julgamento pelo Plenário. A partir de uma análise empírica quantitativa e qualitativa do rito e conteúdo das decisões das arguições foi possível concluir que a postura do STF frente a esses mecanismos é ambígua. De um lado, tem uma jurisprudência consistente e razoável para negar seguimento às arguições de impedimento e suspeição. De outro, os procedimentos são conduzidos com tons de deferência, com violações ao rito e às etapas processuais, sem transparência sobre os fatos e argumentações jurídicas para afastamento ou manutenção do ministro no caso. Discutiu-se que os resultados do controle da imparcialidade de ministro podem até ser atingidos, mas sem que haja o ganho reputacional correspondente à sua atuação, de forma a abrir espaço para a discussão da legitimidade do próprio tribunal.

Voor rede vatbaar: hoe goed zijn mensen in het redeneren met argumenten?

Abstract Open to reason: how good are people at reasoning with arguments? A phenomenon that has become clearer through social media is that people often gather with like-minded others to strengthen their opinions. In such circumstances, people do not respond in a reasonable way to the arguments of others or even completely ignore the opinions of those who think differently. But what does it mean to reason reasonably with arguments? What exactly can we expect from people? And how good are we at reasoning with arguments? Studies have shown that people can be sensitive to norms for reasonable arguments. Standpoints are more likely to be accepted if they are supported by arguments that meet normative standards. Whereas people may thus be open to reason, dealing with norms can be culture dependent. This finding creates a fascinating field of tension between absolute norms and the relativity of cultures.

Estimating a probability distribution corresponding to the negation of a property

Suppose that we know the probability distribution corresponding to some property A. How can we then describe the distribution describing the negation of this property? In this paper, we show that, in general, we need additional information to uniquely determine the desired probability distribution. If we do not have this additional information and we still need to select one of the possible distributions for the negation, which one should we choose? We show that reasonable arguments lead to a formula proposed by Yager (IEEE Trans Fuzzy Syst 23(5):1899–1902, 2014). However, if we apply Yager’s formula to negation, we do not get the original distribution back. We show how to modify Yager’s formula so that the distribution for “not not A” will be the same as the original distribution for the property A.

Ethnocultural code in the Crimean Tatar literary criticism (on the example of Shakir Selim’s literary-criticism article “About Shamil Alyadin, Charyks and a Pocket Knife”)

&amp;nbsp;Based on the analysis of causality and reasonableness of arguments of such literary scholars as Shakir Selim and Shamil Alyadin, this article attempt to determine the ethnocultural code of the Crimean Tatar literary criticism. The author applies the approach of methodological pluralism, as well as hermeneutical, logical, historical-genetic, comparative-typological, phenomenological, and psychological methods. This allows considering various perspectives of the aforementioned literary scholars upon the variants of critical analysis of the artistic heritage of the classic of Crimean Tatar literature Memet Nuzet. The article outlines the basic principles of literary criticism, declared by Shakir Selim and Shamil Alyadin, as well as their dependence on the ethnocultural code of the Crimean Tatars. The scientific novelty of this research consists in the attempt of carrying out a comprehensive hermeneutical analysis of Shakir Selim&amp;rsquo;s literary-criticism work &amp;ldquo;About Shamil Alyadin, Charyks and the Pocket Knife&amp;rdquo; through the prism of methodological pluralism in the aspect of ethnocultural code. The author&amp;rsquo;s main contribution consists in the reflection of the &amp;ldquo;clash of opinions&amp;rdquo; of three literary critics &amp;ndash; this is the critical article by Shakir Selim, based on the response of Pirae Kadri-Zade, written to Shamil Alyadin&amp;rsquo;s criticism essay on the poem composed by the classic of the Crimean Tatar literature Memet Nuzet.&amp;nbsp;

Абайдың философиялық-дүниетанымдық көзқарастары: тарихи-философиялық аспект

The authors attempt to consider the philosophical and ideological ideas of the great thinker and humanist Abay Kunanbayev. The analysis of Abay Kunanbayev's work has shown that there are poorly developed aspects, however, without claiming to cover all aspects of the problem comprehensively, the authors made an attempt to study the nature and essence of Abay's philosophical and ideological views in the work "Words of Edification" based on the material of Abay Kunanbayev's work "Words of Edification". The authors focused on the analysis of the philosophical content of the work "Words of Edification". The article uses a philosophical methodology that corresponds to the current level of spiritual and scientific- theoretical culture. The authors implemented scientific methods such as the ascent from the abstract to the concrete, the principle of concrete historicism (the unity of historical and logical). Concrete historicism, exploring the history of the subject, considers the logic of the historically developing subject (process), this principle contributes to the active reflection of the historical process. Historicism traces and reproduces the essence of the historical process from the point of view of its formation and development in the system of concepts. Abay's creativity occupies a special place in the world culture, he raised spiritual culture to a new level, gave new examples of reflection of the Kazakh reality. Abai justified a new worldview, new thinking, new values, which are fundamentally different from everything that was in the traditional culture of the Kazakhs. In the work "Words of Edification", the object of criticism is the traditional Kazakh society. Criticism has a constructive character, as a result of which universal problems, ideas of kindness, humanity, compassion, mercy, freedom and responsibility are raised. Abai forms a new approach to the concept of labor. The great thinker showed the role of work in the formation and development of a person, personality, that through work and activity it is possible to comprehend knowledge, science. Abay expressed a new approach to religion, he contrasted blind faith with a reasonable study of Islam, when they accept Iman not only as something sacred, but also know how to protect and strengthen it with reasonable arguments. Abay developed a new ideal of a perfect, true person, "tolyk adam", who strives for knowledge, is a moral person, recognizes freedom of choice and responsibility. The moral code of the great humanist is "Adam Bol". Abay, determining the status of a person in the world, notes that a person's mind, erudition, honor and charm make him beautiful and strong, he focuses on spirituality, knowledge, education and culture.

The First Amendment of Institute of Family and Life Advocates vs. Medical Expertise

With its decision in National Institute of Family and Life Advocates (NIFLA) vs. Becerra (2018), the then conservative majority on the United States’ Supreme Court concluded that the California FACT Act violated NIFLA’s right to free speech. The FACT Act an acronym for Freedom, Accountability, Comprehensive Care, and Transparency was put in place to remedy misleading, deceptive, and harmful practices by NIFLA’s crisis pregnancy centers and marketplace communications. Ultimately, the 5-4 majority set aside the reasonable arguments put forward by the American Medical Association in a decision that defers to fundamentalist free speech jurisprudence, diminishes the standing of medical experts, and leaves marketplaces for reproductive products and services impoverished by misinformation.
