Anna-Teresa Tymieniecka VII PREFACE ANNA-TERESA TYMIENIECKA PREFACE Over the millennia, philosophy has sought the ultimate understanding of the full human horizon of existence as well as of human destiny and the ultimate sense of it All. The innumerable attempts to grasp the answers to these questions, each taking its own approach and having its own preconceptions, have engendered a range of different philosophical approaches, one so broad that seemingly unbridgeable rifts impede possible, cross-fertilizing communication. And yet the themes of all of them, e.g., the immeasurable cosmos, life, the individual being bearing life, the human person within his or her world, and his or her longings to transcend that world, the human mind, its pragmatic/cognitive tools, creative, speculative pursuits, remain constants. The logos they all share is one. It is not that no vicarious sharing of intuitive glimpses by the proponents of the varied doctrines and methods in question occurs. The history of philosophy is in fact marked by the juxtaposing of theories and approaches having different trajectories and by the mixing of insights, the crossing of borders, etc. However, what is greatly needed is in-depth comparison of the various doctrines and a reflection on the contrasting, opposing, clashing perspectives that seeks foundations for all of them in the human, creative condition, in that microcosm that extends its tentacles toward the two great infmities: the external infmity of the cosmos and the internal infinity of transcending destiny. By going back to the primeval logos as it differentiates itself with the origin and unfurling of life, we may retrieve these common roots that all philosophies share. In order to promote dialogue between Occidental phenomenology and Islamic philosophy on this deep level of the logos, we are inaugurating this book series. At the launching of this series under the title of Occidental Phenomenology and Islamic Philosophy in a Dialogue, a statement of its raison d'etre, its aim, its place within comparative scholarship, and the ways and means of its expected realization is in order. By no mere juxtaposing of the so-called "methods" and the axioms they derive from, nor even by establishing historical filiations of ideas and the comparison of concepts, may we find the groundwork for metaphysical dialogue among philo- XI A-T. Tymieniecka (ed.), The Passions ofthe Soul in the Metamorphosis ofBecoming, XI-XVII © 2003 Kluwer Academic Publishers. XII ANNA-TERESA TYMIENIECKA logos at its constructive shining forth. The human creative condition is the "place"­ sphere-arena that our phenomenology of life in its ontopoiesis has proposed as the ground for this work. It is upon that ground that the World Phenomenology Institute has been engaging in dialogues with philosophies proceeding from different assumptions and cultural settings. Thus, the dialogue between phenomenology and Islamic philosophy upon the common ground of the human creative condition within the unity-of-everything-there-is-alive that we are proposing has the benefit of having an already fruitful mode to follow. However, some ambiguities are attached to the very title of our new book series. First of all, the very term 'Islamic philosophy,' and that of 'Occidental phenomeno­ logy' too, may engender controversy. In fact, the term 'Islamic' covers a vast field of divergent philosophical doctrines, schools of thought, individual

It demonstrates how a Shia ritual performance such as Ta’ziyeh and its symbols played key roles in mobilising crowds for the revolution, and how these symbols began to dominate political life, pervade all levels of society, and enable political actors and revolutionary clerics to legitimise their actions and violence after the revolution.

  • A (Short) History of the Clash of Civilizations
    Cambridge Review of International Affairs, Volume 21, Number 2, June 2008 A (short) history of the clash of civilizations Arshin Adib-Moghaddam School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London Abstract Where does the clash of civilizations thesis and its underlying us-versus- them mentality come from? How has the idea been engineered historically and ideologically in the ‘east’ and ‘west’? What were the functions of Christianity and Islam to these ends? These are some of the questions that will be discussed in this article that engages both the clash of civilizations thesis and the discourse of ‘Orientalism’ more generally. Dissecting the many manifestations of mutual retributions, the article establishes the nuances of the ‘clash’ mentality within the constructs we commonly refer to as ‘Islam’ and the ‘west’, showing how it is based on a questionable ontology, how it has served particular political interests and how it is not inevitable. What is presented, rather, is a short genealogy of this idea, dispelling some of its underlying myths and inventions along the way. Introduction One must not suppose that grand theories such as the ‘clash of civilizations’ are a recent invention nor that the epistemology of such can be divorced from its historical context. Ironically, today’s proponents of the so-called ‘clash’ thesis suggest they can escape the fact that their reference to a seemingly coherent past implicates them in the genealogy of the idea. In other words, by attempting to persuade us that the supposed conflict between Islam and the west has always existed, the very agents of the idea orchestrate an historical conspiracy as such.

  • Postmodernism in Iran and Its Consequences
    Available online at www.behaviorsciences.com Reef Resources Assessment and Management Technical Paper ISSN: 1607-7393 RRAMT 2014- Vol. 43, 2014, 4 Postmodernism in Iran and its Consequences Mahdi Rahimi*, Reza Delavari M.A. Graduated from Islamic Azad University, Qom Branch, Humanities Faculty, Politics Department; Member of Youth Researchers Society PhD on Politics, Visiting Professor at Islamic Azad University, Qom Branch Abstract Postmodernism is often known as a school of thought and a form of ideology which considers a philosophical criticism on meta-narratives. Our interpretation of this concept is thus similar to that of Fredric Jameson who refers to postmodernism as a "theoretical discourse". The main purpose of the present article is to identify the typology of the advocates of postmodernism presence in Iran and its consequences. In this regard, the compatible viewpoints and its related characteristics are first investigated, afterwards; the consequences resulting from this process, such as traditionalism and anti-traditionalism, dominance of relativism logic, preservation and negation of the status quo, growth of nihilism and tendency towards Inquiry and contemplation will be described. Through studying the degree and quality of this presence and investigating the ideological foundation of its proponents in Iran, this article is going to find the intellectual-political consequences organized by these advocate trends which have benefited from this school, played an effective role in its supporting and highlighting, and identified themselves in this new status. Accordingly, the following conclusions are resulted: A. The presence of postmodernism in Iran is incomplete and somehow pseudo-postmodernism due to the selective use of methodological tools by its proponents in achieving their goals.

  • 403 Thus, the Virtual World of Today Has No Clear Boundaries
    Thus, the virtual world of today has no clear boundaries between reality, and is in general a continuation of the ideological content of the whole Noosphere complex, which, according to Vernandsky, is a world of science and science. The process of digitalization of society plays a crucial role in shaping a new picture of the world, through which we can explain the qualitative changes that are taking place in many fields of human activity. The new type of person in the gadgets and technology generation is a mobile, knowledgeable, and multifunctional persona, many of whom are no longer as extraordinary as other people might think in the past. The main purpose of such a person is to find a correlation between the existing world and the world of virtual reality, harmoniously developing their abilities in both worlds at the same time.

National University of Pharmacy, Kharkiv, Ukraine [email protected] Introduction. In modern Ukraine, philosophical science is actively developing, as evidenced by the scientific works of Academician M.V. Popovich (1930–2018). Philosophical science is also being studied in modern Iran. The Department of Philosophy of Tehran University has established strong scientific traditions related to the study of various issues of Persian and Islamic philosophy, as well as the history of Western philosophy. In 1928, a literary and humanitarian faculty was created, which became part of the Higher Pedagogical College. In 1934, after the founding of Tehran University, the faculty got its modern name.

    UNCOVERED PROCESS OF SOCIALIZATION AND HUMAN CONDITION IN DIGITAL SOCIETY Liubyma O.S. Scientific supervisor: assoc. prof. Khyrina A.O. National University of Pharmacy, Kharkiv, Ukraine [email protected] Introduction. The world for man - the social unit - is divided into two spheres within the current modernist world by S. Bauman : the real and the virtual. Within the real world, there is something that a person can not only see but also feel. The virtual world comes to life just before our eyes. The only thing on which virtuality is based is emotions. The evocation of emotions and states in humans is made possible by moving parts of real life into the virtual world. Processes and institutions that leave the real world and become virtual, harm the development of a person as an adequate social unit and cause mental disorder in the formation of awareness of processes and structures of socialization of the individual on the border of the two realms: virtual and real. Aim. To check the valuability of the Chestnut Metaphor as a Model of Awareness of the Structure of Socialization and the Philosophical Meaning of Human Existence on the Border of real and virtual Worlds Matherials and methods. The essence of the chestnut metaphor is used to uncover the process of socialization and self-improvement of the 21st century man, who, because of the circumstances of the current modernity, has an urgent need to live in two worlds: the digital and the everyday. Results and discussions. Chestnut shell in my theory is a complex of social factors, phenomena, perceptions and tendencies that shape the demands and needs of the individual, for whom society is the main link for creating and further developing their self and realizing themselves as part of the mechanism of a complex social hierarchy.

In particular, I compare the Nyaya School of India with Cartesian dualism and its Western defenders and the Carvaka School of India with contemporary Western materialists. Keywords: philosophy of mind, Indian philosophy, dualism, materialism. Introduction Comparative intellectual history is instructive. It can tell us a great deal about the originality of distinctiveness of a particular culture or civilization, and it can tell us when notions are the result of logical trains of thought common to more than one civilization. The comparison of Western and Indian philosophy of mind is instructive in this regard. Although there are some significant differences, India and Western philosophy of mind follow very similar patterns of reasoning and come up with very similar conclusions. Both traditions have contending materialist and dualist traditions, and both sets of arguments have much in common.
