Order and chaos in the ancient Greco-Roman philosophical imagination

Abstract When did chaos come to be opposed to order? This paper considers the earliest references in the Western world to the concepts of “chaos” (Xάος) and “order” (κόσμος), understood as cosmological concepts; these terms are first attested in the epic Theogony of the ancient Greek poet Hesiod and the treatise On Nature of the Pythagorean philosopher Philolaus of Croton. This paper argues by way of a close reading of these texts that originally chaos was instrumental to an orderly Universe and that this idea persisted in the formal development of cosmological texts in the Greek world. The paper concludes by suggesting that the first person in the Western world to make chaos the opposite of order, i.e. absence of order or disorder, was the Roman epic poet Ovid in his celebrated Metamorphoses some seven hundred years after Hesiod first accounted for the role of chaos in instantiating the world order.

The Semiotics of Place in Saudi Women’s Poetry: Ashjan Hindi as a Model

This research delves into the artistic structures and semiotic connotations of place in the poetry of Ashjan Hindi. In her poetry, place is not merely a tangible geographical patch, but rather it is rich with symbolic meanings and connotations that reflect the poet's philosophical vision of her surroundings. Therefore, it became necessary to explore the semiotic perspectives of place through analysis and interpretation. The research adopted a semiotic approach to investigate the artistic structures of place in Ashjan Hindi's poetry, drawing on the foundational concepts of the metaphorical discourse according to Paul Ricoeur in his book "The Vivid Metaphor," which is rooted in the linguistic theory formulated by Emile Benveniste. The research relies on exploring the semiotics of place in the Collection of Poems, drawing on the procedural concepts of imagination as articulated by the researcher Jilbert Durand in his book "The Anthropological Structures of the Imaginary." It is based on the foundational concepts of this theory, especially the terms of patterns, original models, and symbols, in analyzing the connotations of places in the Collection of Poems.

Simmel on the war for national spirit and cosmopolitan culture

Building and expanding on significant pre-existing scholarship, this article surveys Georg Simmel’s public reactions to the war, concentrating on his most widely circulated statements of the period, before moving on to some further considerations on the significance of the war for Simmel’s sociological and philosophical vision as a whole. At the forefront are three or four main emphases of Simmel’s thinking in the relevant texts. These include the politics of Europe and the nation in Simmel’s thought; themes of death and finitude in modern culture; the West and Western hubris on the stage of world history; and money, law and violence in international affairs at the outset of the 20th century. Though there can be little doubt of the sheer virulence of Simmel’s and other German writers’ reaction to the outbreak of hostilities in 1914, the war’s profoundly transformative experience could move Simmel gradually to embrace another, more reasoned and self-reflective form of salient struggle with ‘the West’ and Western ‘civilization’ in European relations, disabused of nationalistic anguish and resentment.

ردِ پای حکمتِ یونانی در اشعار عبدالواسع جبلی غرجستانی

Philosophy is the co-born of humankind and philosophizing is also a manifestation of human thinking. It must be said with certainty that no historical period has been without philosophy. There is no doubt that Western philosophy has reached us in written form from Greece and then to the whole world. At the beginning of Islam, many Greek ruling sources were translated by Islamic thinkers, and caused the emergence of various scholars in the field of Islamic philosophy and the spread of philosophical propositions among the Persian poets and writers. Abdul-Wase Jabali Gharjistani, is one of the poets of the 6th century of Hijri, while he was fully familiar with his contemporary sciences, he had a remarkable knowledge of Greek wisdom and reflected it in his poetry. In the present article, with the aim of showing the subtleties of the poet's philosophical vision, the writer is more interested in answering the question of whether it is possible to consider Jabali as a follower of Greek philosophical thought. Because as appearing from his poems, The Jabali's way of thinking in addition to Epicureanism is thinking of happiness; In general, it is similar to the ideas of Hellenism. In order to provide an answer to the above question according to the indicators and components of Greek philosophy, in an inductive way using a descriptive-analytical method, among all the poems of Divan Jabali, there are poems with a way of thinking Greek that is classified, adapted and analyzed. The result of the research shows that Jebeli's thought is in the components of the materials of existence; Epicurean philosophy or honoring the soul, seizing the opportunity, paying attention to worldly pleasures and the influence of the stars and the heavens on humans is consistent with the Greek philosophy

Analisis Kurikulum Merdeka dalam Perspektif Gender : Tinjauan Epistimologi

Lévinas’s Philosophy of the Face: Anxiety, Responsibility, and Ethical Moments that Arise in Encounters with the Other

Abstract Lévinas’s philosophy emerges from his critique of the traditional sources of Western philosophy and employs phenomenological methods to transcend the conventional theology and ethics of subjectivity. Through a series of inquiries, Lévinas expands the narrow philosophical vision and problem domain related to the philosophy of the Other. This study examines the profound impact of Lévinas’s philosophy on contemporary philosophy and human society, particularly its elucidation of people’s anxiety, confusion, and overwhelm with the ethical dimension of life in postmodern society. In today’s rapidly evolving landscape, characterized by increased reliance on AI, decreased face-to-face communication, and significant shifts in lifestyle, the study of Lévinas’s philosophy gains heightened relevance. As we navigate these changes, Lévinas’s insights into anxiety, responsibility, and ethical encounters with the Other offer reflections on human connection and ethical engagement, urging us to reconsider our relationship with technology and prioritize meaningful interactions amidst societal transformations.

Anthropology with a philosophical sensibility

AbstractWhile philosophy and anthropology have much to say to each other, they do not always mesh in productive ways. Critically reflecting on an edited volume that seeks to bring insights from philosophy to anthropological analysis, I consider how the volume's form, while didactic, may contribute to the reproduction of power dynamics that both anthropologists and philosophers have denounced. More broadly, however, I argue that reading and engaging with philosophy can broaden anthropologists’ theoretical imagination and perception in the field, just as having an anthropological sensibility can expand the philosophical imagination and open new avenues of philosophical inquiry.

Exploring Fearism in Literature: A Critical Study on Select Women Writers of the North East India

The present paper aims to study some of the prose fictions of the select Northeast women writers from a very new perspective in literary theory that is ‘The Philosophy of Fearism’. Fearism , propounded by Desh Subba ,is regarded as the first east-west dialogue, an emerging philosophy that deals basically with the issues of fear and its impact in human life. Mamang Dai from Arunachal Pradesh, Temsula Ao from Nagaland and Arupa Patangia Kalita from Assam have been so vocal female voices from this region and this paper will study some select works by them from a fearist perspective. Their works highlight the concern about ecology, social issues and the traumatic conflicts in human life; nonetheless, we can delineate these philosophical visions of Fearism in the portrayal of characters. Desh Subba, the founder of Fearism asserts that human beings go through fearmorphosis, they are being watched by panopticans and sometimes man himself scapegoat not only the innocent people, even the nature with arms and gun powder. This paper will study ‘Stupid Cupid’ by Mamang Dai, ‘The Curfew Man’ by Temsula Ao and Arupa Patangia kalita’s ‘The Girl with a long Hair’ and will try to interpret with this perspective because the characters dwelling in different situations are the victim of a fear Sisyphus, who are always under the multiple eyes of fear and this fear destabilizes their life being.

The detailed term reflects the power of the environmental police

This article aims to analyze how the figure of the Detailed Term can be understood as a reflection of the power of environmental police, among the various instruments that the State has to guarantee the rights of the community in the face of the wishes of the individual. In the same way, it is sought to understand how the Police Power functions, its precedents and why it is used by the State to prohibit actions or curb conduct of individuals, mainly in relation to the environment and its need for constitutional protection. In addition to understanding how the term works, what are its precedents and the way it is used for environmental protection, the same as the Police Inquiry and the Arrest Warrant. The hypothetical deductive research method brings two hypotheses about the feasibility or otherwise of considering the term as an instrument or reflection of the power of environmental police, when it comes to the offenses of lesser offensive potential environmental, besides the exploratory bias, mainly by the bibliographic conceptual review and the legislation applied. With this, it is possible to have a philosophical vision referring to the importance that the power of the environmental police has to protect a fundamental right guaranteeing by the Federal Constitution the right to a balanced environment, and how this power of the police is reflected in the preventive and repressive actions of the State. Accordingly, the objetive of the research is achieved by instigating reflection on the theme and showing that no matter how much the Detailed Term is a relatively new instrument and that it still faces legal debates about its constitutionality, it has unparalleled importance for environmental protection as a reflection of the power of the police. Thus, one can understand that when one analyzes the protection of environmental rights, there is the foresight of coercive acts of the state (police power), both to prevent and to repress conduct that harms the environment, so one cannot disconnect the Detailed Term as an instrument of this police power of the State, since it has the same effects, within its forecast and proportionality, as the Police Investigation and the Arrest Report in Flagrante Delito.

Творчество В.К. Винниченко и его этико-философская концепция «переустройства» мира

The article considers the history of creation and the main provisions of the ethical and philosophical vision of the world’s “reorganization” created by extraordinary Ukrainian politician and writer V. Vynnychenko (1880–1951) in 1920–1930s based on the principle of “honesty with oneself,” tested by the author both in literary texts of the 1910s and in the private life. The concept, called by the thinker “concordism” (from French сoncorde — concord) and created on the synthesis of Marxism, Nietzschean, and Freudian ideas, is founded on the utopian idea that a new international and social order should be based on the voluntary consent among the countries and the harmony between the man and the society, the man and the nature, which could be possible only under the condition of inner harmony of each person. According to Vynnychenko, it could be obtained if a person follows a certain set of rules containing both moral guidelines and biomedical technologies. However, the principle of “honesty with oneself” (unity of thought, feeling, and deed) remained crucial to him.

Artificial Intelligence Application In Telling Stories Without Words The Effectiveness Of Visual Rhetoric On Comprehension Of The Novel

This period has witnessed an increasing increase in the speed of means of communication, methods, and rules of design, so the transition from the search for workmanship to creativity as well as employing many other sciences, a technological development that occurred in the field of visual arts, especially graphic design, such as the emergence of computers and programs (the digital medium) and entering a field Graphic design, with its capabilities to develop the aesthetic and creative side, including these technical programs and the designer’s impressive capabilities. The image occupied a large part of human history, starting with cave drawings and pictorial languages. The image is an important part of the creative worlds, and the novel as part of literary creativity has its pictures, colors are wavy, so the writer draws his image in his narration by showing part of it, to allow the imagination to complete the other part. Therefore, literature and graphic design technology are two closely related worlds that depend on the image and make them the backbone. The writer has his image, the designer has his image, and each of these pictures has points of encounter and points of difference. Therefore, designers resort to Visual Rhetoric shapes as a medium of expression with the aim of increasing the effectiveness of the process of mutual meaning, adding implicit values to the visual image, and enhancing the communication process. So The study deals with the use of digital technology in the production of a graphic vision of the novel "maktub" for the international writer Paulo Coelho, in an attempt to display the novel in a modern graphic graphical way, by analyzing the novel and drawing it with a philosophical vision to integrate Arab history, novel, and art with technology, by integrating digital art techniques with Traditional Arabic graphic arts techniques with their visual elements. It monitors the relationship between graphic design technology and its new technical techniques to reveal the ability of Graphic Design and Visual Rhetoric to comprehend literary works. To form a step in the approach between graphic design and novel art, making use of theories of formation, design, gestalt, and their tools that coordinate the scene and its paintings so that the visual vision arises with its implications.

Táj és ember viszonya

In this paper I will focus mainly on the biopoetic aspects of Miklós Szentkuthy’s novel, Chapter on Love. In his novel, Szentkuthy creates an intense rhetorical web of biological metaphors and imagery, also elaborates a specific literary language, a unique world of fiction, in which the boundaries between man and nature are blurred or, on the contrary, even sharpened. ™e novel, like many of Szentkuthy’s works, uses a theoretical, philosophical vision to approach the experience of elementary perception. I examine the narrator’s interpretation of the individual’s relationship to the larger biological processes, and how the text creates a kind of visual and rhetorical forest.

Glucagon in the gut – brain axis

Abstract The intricate relationship between the gut and the brain has long captured the imagination of scientists, philosophers, and clinicians alike. Over the past few decades, research has unveiled a complex and bidirectional communication network that connects these seemingly distinct organs, giving rise to the concept of the gut–brain axis. This axis represents a dynamic and multifaceted system through which the gut and the brain exchange signals, impacting not only digestive processes but also a wide array of physiological and neurological functions. From influencing appetite and mood to playing a role in metabolic regulation, the gut–brain axis has emerged as a crucial nexus in understanding human health and well-being. This chapter delves into the intricate mechanisms that underlie the gut–brain axis, exploring its components and pathways with a special focus on the role played by glucagon. By unraveling the mysteries of this axis, we gain valuable insights into how our body’s diverse systems collaborate to maintain a delicate balance and how disturbances within this axis can contribute to a range of health conditions.

Women, Rituals, and the Domestic-Political Distinction in the Confucian Classics

In this article, I show that women are depicted in the early Confucian texts not primarily as undertaking household duties or nurturing children but rather as partaking in rituals of mourning and ancestor worship. To make the argument, I analyze, besides the more philosophical texts like the Analects and the Mencius, texts known as the “Five Classics,” which describe women in their social roles in much more detail than the former. What women’s participation in rituals reveals, I contend, is that the domestic-political distinction does little to illuminate the philosophical vision offered by the early Confucian texts. Relatedly, while women’s involvement in communal religious rituals has also been noted about early Greece, the political import of such participation is even more pronounced in the Confucian case. Specifically, I show that, by embodying intergenerational continuity, the mourning and ancestor rituals that women partake in are foundational to the Confucian state.

‘Logic will get you from A to B, imagination will take you anywhere’

AbstractThere is some consensus on the claim that imagination as suppositional thinking can have epistemic value insofar as it's constrained by a principle of minimal alteration of how we know or believe reality to be – compatibly with the need to accommodate the supposition initiating the imaginative exercise. But in the philosophy of imagination there is no formally precise account of how exactly such minimal alteration is to work. I propose one. I focus on counterfactual imagination, arguing that this can be modeled as simulated belief revision governed by Laplacian imaging. So understood, it can be rationally justified by accuracy considerations: it minimizes expected belief inaccuracy, as measured by the Brier score.
