Full textAbstract:
Post truth relates to circumstances whereby objective facts are less influential in shaping the opinion of the public, rather appealing to personal belief and emotion. Post truth era is bordering a blurry line between lies and truths, dishonesty and honesty, nonfiction and fiction. The entire phenomenon of post truth is about an individual’s opinion being worth more than the facts. As such, the present paper seeks to understand new insights or perspectives in literary criticism in the post truth era. The criticism of the literature was always based on broad schools of thoughts/theories, which were employed for many centuries. Some of the traditional approaches the paper highlights include: formalistic criticism, biographical criticism, historical criticism, gender criticism, psychological criticism, sociological criticism, mythological criticism, reader-response criticism, and deconstructionist criticism. Equally, the paper extensively analyzes some of the new perspectives or insights to literary criticism in the post truth era: reflective approach, didactic approach, partisan approach, and religious approach. In reflective approach to literature criticism in the post truth era, the meaning in the literature is reflected by the outside of its own being. On the other hand, in didactic approach to literature criticism, truth and meaning is taught in the literature. Moreover, in partisan approach to literature criticism, there is the truthful meaning that is already known and can be found in the literature. Lastly, in the religious approach to literature criticism in post truth era, the meaning and truth is the literature itself, while the outside world has nothing to do with it.

Full textAbstract:
Al-Ghazali's al-Munqidh min al-Dalâl has become the subject of study by many Muslim and Western scholars. Most research related to the theory of doubt compared with Descartes' method. However, there is no study on the truth of knowledge, even though this theme is al-Munqidh's main theme. This research aims to analyse the concept of the truth of al-Ghazali's knowledge in al-Munqidh. In detail, this study discusses four issues. That is the forms of truth, the sources and means of attaining truth. Also, al-Ghazali's criticism of truth seekers. The method analysis used is content analysis with al-Munqidh as the main reference. Results research shows that (1) there are two forms of truth for al-Ghazali: ontological and epistemological. (2) the source of truth comes from revelation and reason, (3) the means to reach the truth are the senses, reason and heart. (4) al-Ghazali criticized the four truth-seeking groups and stated that their methods contained weaknesses, namely they could not be verified, mixed with falsehoods or used ratios that were not optimal. The results of this study indicate that al-Ghazali's concept of the truth of knowledge differs from Descartes' concept and modern epistemology. Al-Ghazali acknowledged something not accommodated in modern philosophy, namely the revelation and the heart as a source and means of knowledge.

Full textAbstract:
Anti-caste traditions in India work to understand and examine the idea of personhood which the majority in India is deprived of by virtue of being born in the lower rungs of the caste hierarchy. This paper examines the historical continuity in Brahminism and the rupture Jotiba Phule presents to it through his art and activism which serves to disturb the regular flow of singular continuity of what is perceived as history and historiography. Jotiba’s quest is for finding the essence / personhood of, what Butler calls, a ‘precarious subject’ and recognizing that precarious subject – the Shudra, as a subject of history. But the personhood of this precarious subject is never a complete personhood. Therefore, Jotiba attempts to unveil the path towards achieving complete personhood which is embedded in reaffirming the lost or concealed truth – by discontinuing the historical flow of the social structure of caste and establishing a new subject rising out of crisis in social structure in history. I have chosen two works from Jotiba’s works as new methodological tools for history writing and historical criticism, and made hermeneutical and phenomenological readings of the both. The works are his poem Kulambin (a peasant woman), and the Satyashodhak (truth-seeker) marriage as the public performance of protest- as they are both - the essential and the mundane to his life, which exemplifies the truth Jotiba followed and established an organization Satyashodhak Samaj (Society of Truth Seekers) as a testament to it.

This scientific paper seeks to establish the term (literature theory) as an introduction to the study of contemporary Arabic literature and its criticism within the critical linguistic context extending between Arab heritage and contemporary translation. This paper consists of three axes: The first is the theory between derivation and context, the second is the semantic development of the term literature, and the third is the location of literature theory from contemporary criticism. It concluded with a number of results; Most notably, the theory of literature is knowledge related to examining the truth of literature in terms of its origin, truth, nature and function, the nature of its relationship with human societies, the criteria through which it should be considered in its criticism and evaluation, and the general standards in which it is measured in terms of quality and acceptability

Full textAbstract:
This article makes explicit a hidden tension between post-Marxism and decolonial studies, which points to a challenge for intercultural dialogue. While post-Marxism seeks to rehabilitate a universal foundation for the construction of truth claims—a universal already formed within Western modernity—the decolonial critique seeks to dismantle all universals connected to the myths of modernity and therefore demands a departure from the standpoint of the cultural periphery. In fact, Alain Badiou and Slavoj Žižek, like other post-Marxists, have been rather critical of the standpoints articulated by decolonialists who strive to include cultural differences and marginalised identities in the process of knowledge production, but the reality is that the decolonial critique, more so than post-Marxism, is well-supported by the historical evidence, thus demonstrating the need for Enrique Dussel calls a ‘transmodern pluriverse’ in the academic world. In pursuit of diffusing this tension between the post-Marxists and the decolonialists, this article calls for further investigation in terms of determining if real dialogue is possible between these two trajectories of thought.

This research aims to explore the implementation of human rights in the 8th century BC. The prophet Amos's criticism was aimed at the failure of nations to build human solidarity which was shown in various human rights violations. The approach method used is a form criticism approach, a synchronic and diachronic approach that seeks to examine the historical context of the book of Amos. The results obtained from the research show that violations of human rights during the Amos era include: deprivation of one's right to life and property, trafficking and human slavery, loss of fraternal solidarity, anger, and revenge, intimidation, terror and fear, the humiliation of human beings, refusal. rule of law. Israel's crimes against humanity are driven by a materialistic spirit so that it carries out the sale of the righteous, the poor, the weak, the exploitation of women, fines, and debts. Building humanitarianism through law enforcement so that truth and justice are created in society.

Abstract The objective of this essay is to revisit the theoretical construction of Critical Rationalism, starting from the philosophy of Kantian reason contained in the works Critique of pure reason and Critique of practical reason to discuss their respective influences over the work of Karl Popper. We aim, with this exercise, to shed light on the critical-rationalist approach in Organization Studies. Our argument is that Kantian thought has been conducive, on the one hand, to a negative philosophy that considers idealism prior notions and a priori knowledge fundamental to the creative conception of knowledge and, on the other hand, to a hypothetical-deductive science that seeks to bring us closer to truth through criticism. The basis of critical rationalism lies in the search for reason and transcendental truth. This is a call not only for the production of theories, but for dedication to test their validity – a problem that has not received much attention from researchers in the field of organization studies.

Full textAbstract:
This paper takes its departure from Michel Henry’s criticism of a technological view that “extends its reign to the whole planet, sowing desolation and ruin everywhere” (I am the Truth, 271). It argues that although Henry’s critique of technology is helpful and important, it does not go far enough, inasmuch as it excludes all non-human beings from the Truth of “Life” he advocates against the destructive truths of technology and therefore cannot fully articulate the way in which technology does in fact cause “desolation and ruin” on the entire planet. At the same time I suggest that this strict division between human and non-human life is not essential to Henry’s project, which may well have resources for a more environmentally friendly proposal. The first part of the paper lays out Henry’s critique of technology in some detail, highlighting the ways in which it contains important insights for our contemporary situation. The second part of the paper explores the stark division Henry draws between human generation from the divine life and the creation of everything else, including his rejection of any identification of humans with “protozoa and honey bees,” which would seem to suggest a complete lack of concern for non-human life. The final part of the paper seeks to find a way beyond this dichotomy by showing how non-human life may be included in Henry’s proposal in a way that extends his critique of technology in environmentally conscious ways without losing his phenomenological insights about the human condition.

Resumo: Este artigo busca evocar as dimensões política, poética e filosófica na escrita de Walter Benjamin, trabalhando as concepções de apresentação (Darstellung) da verdade, constelação e crítica, como dimensões constitutivas de seu exercício de pensamento, praticado na linguagem. Para isso, trabalhamos: as concepções de tratado, fragmento e constelação, em sua crítica à escrita sistemática, em paralelo ao seu modo de pensar a filosofia como apresentação (Darstellung) da verdade, presentes no Prefácio do Drama Trágico Alemão (1928); a sua concepção de linguagem como arquivo de semelhanças não sensíveis, evocada na Doutrina das Semelhanças e em Sobre a faculdade mimética (1933); e sua distinção entre o químico e o alquimista, assim como a relação entre o comentário e a crítica, presentes no ensaio sobre as Afinidades Eletivas de Goethe (1922). Por fim, afirmamos seu modo ensaístico de escrita como locus de um exercício de crítica imanente, exposição e desvio, na construção de um método, uma política de leitura e escrita do mundo, que nasce como tarefa de “ler o que nunca foi escrito”, daquele não tem nada a dizer, somente a mostrar.Palavras chave: escrita; apresentação; constelação; crítica; desvio.Abstract:This article seeks to evoke the political, poetic and philosophical dimensions in the writing of Walter Benjamin, working the concepts of presentation (Darstellung) of truth, constellation and criticism, as constitutive dimensions of his exercise of thought, practiced in language.

WOTLING, PATRICK. ""Ultimate Skepsis": Nietzsche on Truth as a Regime of Interpretation." PhaenEx 11, no. 2 (2016): 70–87. http://dx.doi.org/10.22329/p.v11i2.4782.
Full textAbstract:
PresentationThis article is the first English translation of French scholar Patrick Wotling’s extensive research on Nietzsche. In order to understand Nietzsche’s work, Patrick Wotling follows closely Nietzsche’s well-known injunction to his readers: “learn to read me well!” Hence, he seeks to do a close reading of Nietzsche’s texts, which often resemble a seemingly random juxtaposition of ideas, looking for signs that allow the reader to follow Nietzsche’s thought and weave together a correct interpretation. In so doing it is imperative to reject any reading based on an interpretive framework that is not found in the text itself. This approach is tied to the specificity of Nietzsche’s work in that unlike philosophers before him, he does not hold the pursuit of truth to be the genuine goal of philosophy, and therefore does not write traditional systematic treatises. It is thus necessary to use this close reading approach to reveal the new patterns of thought that Nietzsche uses in place of traditional logical frameworks. Using this method, P. Wotling contends that Nietzsche’s thinking is organized along two tightly bound lines: on the one hand there is a genealogical inquiry, which consists of identifying and evaluating the value of values, and on the other hand there is a concern for the cultivation, or breeding (Züchtung) of human life, which aims at putting in place certain values with the goal of elevating humanity and creating human flourishing. The second goal implies the first, meaning that before knowing what values should be instituted, it is necessary to establish the hierarchy of values, in order to identify which ones are the most useful for the cultivation and enrichment of humanity. AbstractWhat are Nietzsche’s reasons for criticizing truth? How far does such criticism extend, and how does Nietzsche understand the consequences of his position as regards the philosophical praxis? The discovery of a radical opposition between truth and thought shows that being irrefutable cannot be assimilated to being true, and, at the same time, that truth is interpretation. On closer scrutiny, it appears to be not an essence, but a value, that is to say a type of error that has become essential for the continuation of our life, linked to a long process of physical-psychological absorption, and now productive of a deceptive feeling of necessity. As a consequence, philosophy cannot be equated with the pursuit of truth any longer: first, because, as a free spirit, the genuine philosopher is to be thought of as a lover of riddles, shaped on Epicurus’ pattern rather than on Plato’s; and more importantly, because the philosopher’s real aim is to investigate the value of all particular values (including “truth”) for the development of human life, and, in accordance, to create and impose new “truths.”

Hayy bin Yaqdhan is a treatise aimed at providing a scientific explanation of the beginnings of human life on earth. This treatise is Ibn Thufayl’s presentation of knowledge, which seeks to harmonize Aristotle with Neo-Platonists on the one hand, and Al-Ghazali with Ibn Bajjah on the other. Ibn Thufayl followed the middle way, bridging the gap between the two parties.Hayy bin Yaqdhan is a thought experiment. It was built on Ibn Sina’s thought experiment about “Flying Man” which calls for a living human mind, driven by the Active Intellect, the principle by which God communicates His truth to the human mind and establishes order and intelligence to nature.The findings of Ibn Thufayl’s thought experiment with his fiction is that language, culture, religion, and tradition are not essential for the development of a perfect mind even, perhaps, blocking its progress. This result shows a hard slap for social structures that exist in general and specifically Institutional Islam. Social criticism, which complements Ibn Thufayl’s critical message, is not left implicit. The criticism was explained in the meeting between Hayy bin Yaqdhan and members of a society governed by the religion of prophetic revelation. Ibn Thufayl has expressed Neo-Platonism postulates about religious harmony and philosophy.

Full textAbstract:
Vladimir Vladimirovich Nabokov is an outstanding and productive Russian-Amercian writer. As the epitome work of the writer, Lolita must be the most controversial novel without doubt. This novel has been adapted into two versions of films: 1962 version and 1997 version. This paper will analyze the 1997 version of Lolita directed by Adrian Lyne. Most critics have mainly conducted the analysis of the film form the perspective of ethnics, postmodernism, narrative strategy, time as well as the image of death. However, there are few, if any, researches done from the perspective of literary ethics to dig into the relationships in the film. With the integration of ethics methods and literary research methods, literary ethics serves as a major new criticism approach and is mainly employed to conduct the analysis of literature. With the ethical factors unveiled in Lolita, this paper seeks to analyze three relationships: human beings and society, human beings and self, ethics and truth. The paper interprets the film Lolita from the perspective of literary ethics, explores the relationships in the film, exploits Vladimir Vladimirovich Nabokov’ s pursuit of truth, kindness and beauty, and also hopes to provide a new direction for later research on the film Lolita.

This book is an important addition to the by-now rich collection of edited volumesand monographs published by Brill under the heading “Islamic Historyand Civilization: Studies and Texts.” It contains twenty-two essays written byleading scholars, historians, and philologists in honor of their late colleague and teacher Patricia Crone (professor of Islamic history, Institute for AdvancedStudy), who passed away a few months after the publication of the volume.For students of Islam, Crone needs no introduction. Her scholarship hasmarked the field through its erudition as well as its distinctive boldness andcontroversial nature that, at times, drew virulent criticism. Perceived by someas arrogant and hasty, by others as incisive and daring, she was not one tomince words. This volume, starting with an intimate “memoir” by Judith Herrinand concluding with an appreciative scholarly review by Chase Robinson,tends to overlook Crone’s divisive personality and does much to present heras an ideal academic and mentor. She was, as the editors lyrically phrase it, a“seeker and lover of truth.” ...

Full textAbstract:
Abstract: The role that confession plays in Nabokov's fiction remains poorly understood, though the same can be said for confessional fiction in general. Part of the problem lies in the slipperiness of the word "confession" itself, which is why this essay begins by defining confession as a performative speech act through which the speaking or writing subject seeks to form, reform, and transform herself, addressing herself to another who is called to act as a witness to this creative act of self(trans)formation—a process akin to Nabokov's own description of a poet (not a "loony") who "peels off a drab past and replaces it with a brilliant invention" ( Pale Fire 188). Based on this capacious definition, the paper proposes reading Pale Fire , arguably the most elusive of Nabokov's confessional fictions, as the confession of the fictional editor, Charles Kinbote. Examining Kinbote's note to line 550 of the poem, where Kinbote confesses having been "tarrying on the brink of falsification" from the very beginning, I argue that Kinbote's commentary begins to act as his confession, allowing Kinbote to accumulate the kind of moral self-distance that serves as the basis for his reform. This reading is foregrounded by an analysis of two other interpretive strategies that are common in Pale Fire criticism: the "dialectic" reading that seeks to discover the truth of the text and the "paranoid" reading that promises to uncover a secret, a hidden truth. Whereas both of these strategies position the critic as the one who must disclose a truth that is not confessed in the novel, reading Pale Fire as Kinbote's confession in a deconstructive manner, as I propose doing, allows the novel to be endlessly "unfolded," to use Gilles Deleuze's metaphor, bringing to the fore the materiality of the text itself and the interpretive choices it imposes on its readers.

Full textAbstract:
The article examines the significance of “postmetaphysics” as a continuation of Derrida’s philosophy of deconstruction for resolving the philosophical conflict between the transcendental and dialectical traditions of thought. The “postmetaphysical” trend seeks to rethink the relationship between language and power, trying to find a way to talk about power in a way that does not theoretically reproduce the power of metaphysical discourse. It also seeks to avoid the mistake of systems that criticize metaphysical discourse, which is that the criticism itself often takes on a sophisticated form of metaphysics, the source of which is hidden as much as possible. The central phenomenon that is deconstructed in Christian postmetaphysical philosophy in the text is “political ontotheology”, that is, the powerful metaphysical discourse used to build a political ideology. At the beginning of the article, the author examines two ways of formulating onto-theology in philosophy — transcendental and dialectical. It is argued that both directions in the modern era are confronted with their own impasse: transcendentalism cannot conceive of theory as a practical realization of thought, dialectics cannot get rid of the formulation of transcendental supra-historical truth in its practice. The text synthesizes the concepts of Caputo, Vattimo, and Desmond in order to propose a political-religious project that continues Derrida’s philosophy. It is concluded that post-metaphysics as a “weak thought” can change and weaken political structures without completely dialectically moving into political onto-theology, but it cannot be a field completely independent of metaphysics or replace it.

Full textAbstract:
This study explores how Allah safeguarded the Qur'an, both before and after it was revealed to the Prophet Muhammad. The main sources of this research are prominent tafsir books such as Tafsiir Ibn Kathir, Jaami' Al-Bayan (Ibn Jarir At-Thabari), Al-Jaami' li Ahkam Al-Qur'an (Al-Qurthubi), and Al-Kasysyaf (Az-Zamakhsyari), which provide deep insight into Allah's efforts in maintaining the authenticity of the Qur'an. The history of the Qur'an and other journals are also used as secondary data to strengthen research results. Historically, the Qur'an has been the subject of intense debate, prompting scholars to clarify and discuss issues surrounding the truth and authenticity of the Qur'an. Criticism of the authenticity of the Qur'an also arose long ago and is still relevant today. For example, the Shia view that the Qur'an is incomplete is one of ongoing debate. Therefore, scholars continue to work on writing and producing works that can ease tensions and resolve problems that arise related to the Qur'an. This research aims to provide a deeper understanding of how the Qur'an is guarded by Allah, as a holy revelation for Muslims. By involving a variety of primary and secondary sources, this study seeks to provide a comprehensive picture of Allah's role in maintaining the sanctity of the Qur'an and how scholars treat and respond to issues related to the truth of the Qur'an. Thus, this research is expected to make a meaningful contribution in enriching our understanding of the Qur'an and strengthening Muslims' belief in the sanctity of Allah's revelation.

Full textAbstract:
The article surveys the history of “terror” vis a vis the development of international humanitarian and human rights law. During the French Revolution, the word “terror” was coined to describe a deviation from the laws of war. Justified by a mixture of ideology and necessity. People who resort to terrorism either suspends or rejects the laws of war (jus in bellum) in the name of an alternative and heightened sense of truth. However, the terrorists’ strong sense of probity and mission is also an opening for re-establishing communication, arbitration and mitigation of cruelty and destruction. This paper represents International Humanitarian Law (IHL) as an “abstract Leviathan”, submission to which is the contemporary norm of pacification. From the perspective of radical terrorism, it is tyrannical. From other perspectives, it is open to criticism and change. Most importantly, it is on the side of rational arbitration rather than arbitrary ordeal. Even radical terrorism, which refuses to recognize the legitimacy of the abstract Leviathan, seeks to communicate its radical messages rather than to seek victory my means of physical annihilation of its opponents.

abstract: The integration of postmodern thinking in the sciences, especially in biology, has been subject to harsh criticism. Contrary to Enlightenment ideals of objectivity and neutrality in the scientific method, the postmodern stance holds that truth is relative, not universal, and therefore progress is ambiguous. The effect of postmodern thought has ramifications that extend from the distrust of preexisting scientific conclusions to questions about the impact of progress in society. It also reflects skepticism about the scientific endeavor. Especially when postmodern ideas are considered to have gained traction, the anti-postmodern critique has become harsher. At stake is whether postmodern notions are indeed irrelevant, and—even more important—whether they compromise scientific progress. The conditional significance of universals in biology and the role of historicity in the evolutionary process makes biology different from the other natural sciences and subjects it to the postmodern critique. This article argues that rather than being viewed as a science that seeks universals, biology should be viewed as a construct, more relevant to a technology, aiming to attain functionalities. Such recognition may fuel progress and assist biology in attaining its ultimate goal, which is to address the most intricate questions about the living world.

Full textAbstract:
This article focuses on the concept of the seeker and considers how the analytical tool of seekership, defined and developed in the sociology of religion, could be applied to the study of art and esotericism. The theoretical argument is made more tangible with the example of the Finnish artist Akseli Gallen-Kallela (1865–1931), whose life story, art and writings resonate with the concept of seekership. The ways in which Gallen-Kallela writes about his interest in esotericism and the dawn of the new age appear in a new light; as part of the processes of a spiritualisation of modern art and religiosity. In addition, the article points out that the concept of seekership can offer new possibilities more generally for the study of art and esotericism. Utilising the analytical tool of seekership may be especially helpful regarding those artists who did not subscribe to any esoteric movement or doctrine, but stressed a more individual relationship with the occulture of their time. It will also provide an opportunity to outline how the connections between art and esotericism have changed over different times and places.

Full textAbstract:
At the basis of Ghazali's criticisms of Ash'arite kalām is the thesis that its primary function is the defence of traditional Islamic belief, the 'aqida, against the distortions of heretical innovations (al-bida'). Kalām is not an end in itself and it is error to think that the mere engagement in it constitutes the experientially religious. In the I[hdotu]yā' he maintains in effect that when it is pursued as an end in itself, its dogmas can constitute a veil preventive of the attainment of gnosis (ma'rifa). On the other hand, Ash'arite kalām when not pursued as an end in itself can be an aid in the quest after gnosis. This is implicit in his reference (in Kitāb al-Arba'īn) to his own major work of Ash'arite kalām, the Iqti[sdotu]ād fī al-i'tiqād, where he states that “it goes deeper in ascertaining [the truth] and is closer to knocking at the doors of gnosis than the official discourse encountered in the books of the mutakallimīn.” The I[hdotu]yā' abounds with homilies, guides for the pious, particularly for those seeking mystical knowledge. Ash'arism pervades such homilies. Thus in Kitāb al-Tawba, Ghazali formulates, analyzes and defends the concept of human choice in Ash'arite terms. He thus argues that each of the ingredients of this concept - knowledge, power, the decisive will, as well as the ensuing choice - is individually the direct creation of God. Not that the argument for this concept yields experiential knowledge of its meaning within the cosmic scheme of things. For Ghazali such knowledge is only attained through mystical vision. But the Ash'arite argument, when not pursued as an end in itself, can be an aid to the seekers of gnosis. It can bring them closer to knocking at its doors.

This research is focused on answering problems, among others, how historical events are conveyed in the comic 5 Days 5 Nights of the 1947 Palembang People's War, how does this comic present historical elements through writers, characters, setting of place and time, and plot, how to use comic media as historiography. This type of research is qualitative research and uses a descriptive method with a literature study approach. This research technique is heuristic, verification, interpretation, historiography.The results of this study indicate that in the comic 5 Days 5 Nights of the Palembang People's War there is a historical element in every day of the war. This comic was also written by H. Asnawi Mangku Alam who is an actor and witness to the history of war. The development of historical writing in Indonesia cannot be separated from western influences, as well as the media which can make historical writing more interesting.

Full textAbstract:
ABSTRACTThis paper develops a formal framework to model a process in which the formation of individual opinions is embedded in a deliberative exchange with others. The paper opts for a low-resolution modeling approach and abstracts away from most of the details of the social-epistemic process. Taking a bird's eye view allows us to analyze the chances for the truth to be found and broadly accepted under conditions of cognitive division of labour combined with a social exchange process. Cognitive division of labour means that only some individuals are active truth seekers, possibly with different capacities. Both mathematical tools and computer simulations are used to investigate the model. As an analytical result, the Funnel Theorem states that under rather weak conditions on the social process, a consensus on the truth will be reached if all individuals possess an arbitrarily small capacity to go for the truth. The Leading the pack Theorem states that under certain conditions even a single truth seeker may lead all individuals to the truth. Systematic simulations analyze how close agents can get to the truth depending upon the frequency of truth seekers, their capacities as truth seekers, the position of the truth (more to the extreme or more in the centre of an opinion space), and the willingness to take into account the opinions of others when exchanging and updating opinions.

<strong>Abstract:</strong><em> </em>Literary theory serves as the foundational framework for contemporary research in English literature, offering and exploring perspectives to interrogate, interpret, and analyse texts. Theories such as Formalism, Structuralism, Post-Structuralism, Feminism, New Historicism, Post-colonialism, Eco-criticism and Marxism enable contemporary researchers to explore the relationship between literature, culture, identity society. Formalism relates to the structure of a literary text; Feminism emphasises the representation of women in literature; Marxism seeks to find and analyse class struggle and the exploitation of workers at the hands of the capitalists; Post – Structuralism deconstructs traditional ideas of meaning and truth. Post – Colonial studies analyse literary works in the context of colonial dominance and the experiences of the colonized. The study underscores how literary theory fosters interdisciplinary dialogues, enabling scholars to address issues such as power dynamics, gender issues, environmental crises and cultural hybridity through literary analysis. Thenotions associated with literary writings as being divinely inspired have been challenged and deconstructed. A literary text is just like any other text in social sciences and makes sense only in its cultural matrix. This paper argues that literary theory enriches the understanding of a text by pointing to its origin and the inter-play of power equations and the cultural context. Moreover, Literary theories have in a way refined research. Earlier, researchers had to depend entirely on tracing influences, relating the works to the biographies of the authors and wrote impressionistic critiques. With literary theories on the scene, researchers enjoy greater freedom in choosing authors, to select texts that reflect and co-relate with the tenets of a specific theoretical configuration. The research fits into a spectrum and becomes part of a body of research in a particular field. Earlier, research, however brilliant the Critique might have been, remained an isolated piece of criticism. <strong>Keywords:</strong><em> </em>Structuralism, Post-structural Feminism, New Historicism, Deconstruction, Post-Colonial studies. <strong>Title:</strong> Literary Theory as the Backbone of the Contemporary Research in English Literature <strong>Author:</strong> Abhinav Divyal, Dr. Rakesh Kumar <strong>International Journal of Social Science and Humanities Research </strong> <strong>ISSN 2348-3156 (Print), ISSN 2348-3164 (online)</strong> <strong>Vol. 13, Issue 2, April 2025 - June 2025</strong> <strong>Page No: 256-260</strong> <strong>Research Publish Journals</strong> <strong>Website: www.researchpublish.com</strong> <strong>Published Date: 10-</strong><strong>May-2025</strong> <strong>DOI: https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.15378806</strong> <strong>Paper Download Link (Source)</strong> <strong>https://www.researchpublish.com/papers/literary-theory-as-the-backbone-of-the-contemporary-research-in-english-literature</strong>

Full textAbstract:
The study aims to analyze poetry as possessing an interactive chemical quality and to view chemistry as having a poetic nature, applying this concept to the "Dura’iyyat" poems of Al-Ma'arri. These poems are believed to embody a unique poetic chemistry that reflects his vision and perspective on himself and his society. The study also seeks to highlight the representation of the shield based on the interplay of different elements, such as water and fire, to reveal the poetic truth of the shield, founded on the chemistry of emotions and the chemistry of elements within a strict poetic framework, akin to the rigid rules Al-Ma'arri imposed on himself and his poetry, and the reasons behind that. The study employs a descriptive-analytical method. The findings indicate that Al-Ma'arri developed a distinctive poetic language that mirrors his inner conflicts and preference for active values, using the "shield" as a symbol of protection and safety from societal discord and dangers. The "Dura’iyyat" are characterized as a transitional phase in his poetry, blending traditional elements with a return to the self, thereby deepening and renewing the meanings. The study recommends that literary criticism should embrace natural sciences, such as chemistry and physics, to gain a deeper understanding of poetry and explore the "Dura’iyyat" from perspectives beyond their apparent content and imagery. The study’s value and originality lie in its approach to examining poetic content from the perspective of poetic chemistry, focusing on the poet’s intent and accomplishment, as well as analyzing the formation of the shield's imagery based on the chemistry of natural elements associated with it, color chemistry, and emotions within a framework that is formally static yet internally dynamic.

This article analyzes the concepts of al-ṣirāṭ al-mustaqīm (the Straight Path) and istiqāma (steadfastness) and how they guide one to the Qur’ānic roadmap to success in this world and in the hereafter. Al-ṣirāṭ al-mustaqīm is a methodology to define, verify, correct, and establish our concepts, principles, and relationships. I apply the hermeneutic of reading the divine text as a structural unity (al-waḥda al-binā’iyya li-l-Qur’ān). After defining al-ṣirāṭ al-mustaqīm, I suggest that a holistic reading of the Qur’ān can help believers rebuild istiqāma from within it, a specific methodological approach. I present al-ṣirāṭ al-mustaqīm as a roadmap that envisions the characteristics of upright and righteous truth seekers and true believers following Prophet Abraham’s religion and carried on by Prophet Muhammad and his umma to arrive at the Straight Path (Qur’ān 3:68). I close by stressing that it is imperative to become upright by remaining steadfast on the Straight Path. It is by remaining steadfast that individuals can restore balance in their relationships, uniting together as one family.

Full textAbstract:
Robert Hegge’s ‘History of St. Cuthbert’s Churches at Lindisfarne, Cuncacestre, and Dunholme’ was one of many texts produced in the early modern period which portrayed and assessed the Anglo-Saxon Church and its saints. This Protestant antiquarian work fits into a wider tradition in which the medieval past was studied, evaluated and employed in religious polemic. The pre-Reformation Church often played a dual role; as Helen Parish has shown, the institution simultaneously provided Protestant writers with historical proof of Catholicism’s league with the Antichrist, while also offering an outlet through which to trace proto-Protestant resistance, and thereby provide the reformed faith with a past. The Anglo-Saxon era was especially significant in religious polemic; during this time scholars could find documented evidence of England’s successful conversion to Christianity when Pope Gregory the Great sent his missionary, Augustine, to Canterbury. The See of Rome’s irrefutable involvement in the propagation of the faith provided Catholic scholars with compelling evidence which not only proved their Church’s prolonged existence in the land, but also offered historic precedent for England’s subordination to Rome. In contrast, reformed writers engaged in an uneasy relationship with the period. Preferring to locate the nation’s Christian origins in apostolic times, they typically interpreted Gregory’s conversion mission as marking the moment at which Catholic vice began to creep into the land and lay waste to a pure primitive proto-Protestant faith. In order to legitimize the establishment of the Church of England, Catholicism’s English foundations needed to be challenged. Reformers increasingly placed emphasis upon the existence of a proto-Protestant ‘strand’ that predated, but continued to exist within, the Anglo-Saxon Church. Until the Norman Conquest, this Church gradually fell prey to Rome’s encroaching corruption, and enjoyed only a marginal existence prior to the Henrician Reformation in the 1530s. Thus Protestants had a fraught and often ambiguous relationship with the Anglo-Saxon past; they simultaneously sought to trace their own ancestry within it while exposing its many vices. This paper seeks to address one such vice, which was the subject of a principal criticism levied by reformers against their Catholic adversaries: the unfounded creation and veneration of saints. Protestants considered the degree of significance the medieval cult of saints had attached to venerating such individuals as a form of idolatry, and, consequently, the topic found its way into countless Reformation works. However, as this essay argues, reformed attitudes towards sainthood could often be ambivalent. Texts such as Hegge’s prove to be extremely revealing of such ambiguous attitudes: his own relationship with the saints Cuthbert, Oswald and Bede appears indistinct and, in numerous instances, his understanding of sanctity was somewhat contradictory.

This article clarifies the recent epistemic rehabilitation of democracy and adds to it in two respects. First, I point out that the epistemic rehabilitation of democracy identifies an internal connection of democracy with normative truths—but only an external connection with substantial truth and correctness. Second, such an internal connection surfaces when we focus on the place of criticism in democracy. Criticism, however, presupposes pluralism and a recognition of the provisionality of decisions. So I, third, analyse prominent theories of truth and examine what conceptions of pluralism and provisionality they allow. This evokes a view emphasizing the unruly role of truth; criticism introduces a commitment to correctness, and this commitment to correctness underwrites the provisional nature of democratic decisions.

Full textAbstract:
A healthy democracy requires trust that people can be impartial in important truth-seeking institutions including journalism, justice, and science. Recently some U.S. elites have adopted alarmingly extreme rhetoric against truth-seekers, denouncing mainstream journalism as fake news, criminal investigations as partisan witch-hunts, climate science as a hoax, and career civil servants as a deep state conspiracy. In response, some news organizations have taken the unusual step of publishing op/eds defending these institutions. Two experiments tested effects of such op/eds. In study 1, participants spent twelve days using a purpose-built news portal containing real, timely news with random assignment to the availability of real, timely op/eds defending impartiality of truth-seekers. These op/eds increased trust in truth-seeking institutions and increased the belief that people can serve as impartial professionals. Study 2 replicated this with a laboratory experiment assigning video op/ed exposure instead of text op/ed availability while adding several outcomes.

First, the science of hadith as one of the Islamic sciences has been dominated by awareness of its normative dimensions compared to the dimensions of its historicity. Second, in addition to differences there are similarities between the coherence method and the matan criticism, namely in terms of seeking the truth by relying on certain standard.The application of the coherence method in this matan criticism is carried out in three main steps. First, determining the criteria for religious truth that will be used as benchmarks. In this case, the criteria of truth chosen are contemporary maqashid al-sharia, especially in the perspective of Jasser Audah. Second, mapping the theme of the hadith being studied, to facilitate synchronization with the selected criteria of truth.

The present study examines Aristotle's definition of art. This examination helps in understanding the nature of art and the artistic truth it ought to carry. Aristotle believes that there is truth in art because it is not independent from the reality from which it emerges. The study advances the thesis that all arts are mimetic; therefore, they are produced by imitation. This notion has misled many thinkers by thinking that art is three times separated from the truth, as Aristotle's teacher, Plato has demonstrated in his argument on the nature of imitative arts. However, Aristotle does not repudiate this assumption, but he tries to create a natural bond between art and the reality it produces. In short, Aristotle invites his readers to enjoy the artistic truth in art by separating it from the actual one in reality.

This article explores death and dying in the context of queer migration by reflecting on the ways in which queer asylum seekers are exposed to various forms and manifestations of death through the process of seeking asylum. The article is based on qualitative interviews with queer asylum seekers in Denmark. Drawing on the concept of necropolitics, the article considers how the politics of truth within the asylum system manage life and death not only by the rejection and deportation of applicants, but also by exposing applicants to a slow death in the temporalities of a prolonged process of seeking asylum. The politics of truth within the asylum system appear to be predicated on ideals of normalised national white queerness and homonormativity that come to determine queer asylum seekers’ legitimacy and access to inclusion. Queer migrants’ paths to protection play out in a geopolitical context where the hope of life, asylum and citizenship are infused with deathly practices and normative imaginaries of truthful queerness.

The essay considers an alternative genealogy of critical production whose stylistic and generic features decenter the epistemic norms of academic criticism in favor of a conception of hermeneutics instead oriented toward ethics.

This article discusses the role of Islamic Religious Education (IRE) in developing criticism and critical thinking skills in the post-truth era, which is part of the VUCA era. The circulation of unreliable information characterizes the post-truth era and is often spread through social media, creating a Volatile, Uncertain, Complex, and Ambiguous (VUCA) environment. In this context, IRE has an important role in helping students develop robust criticism and critical thinking skills to differentiate between facts and opinions and analyze information wisely. This study uses a literature review method to explore literature related to IRE in the post-truth era. The results of this study show that IRE can help students understand the importance of criticism and critical thinking in accordance with Islamic values and teachings in dealing with unreliable information. The development of criticism and critical thinking skills through IRE provides a strong foundation for students to filter information wisely, understand religion more deeply, and construct a more accurate and meaningful point of view in the post-truth era.

Full textAbstract:
Societies across the globe need a new kind of leadership education characterised with a disposition for radical truth-telling. This ideal should go beyond generalised and familiarised ethical leadership formation. Contemporary leaders should become truth tellers and truth seekers for justice. Attaining such a disposition calls us towards an imaginative ethical-educative praxis for justice. Scaffolding leadership-ethical-presences towards being human may proof indispensable. The rediscovery of a vocation for an ethically re-envisioned educational revolution is called for.

Full textAbstract:
The arrival of more than five million refugees in Europe since 2015 has led to increasing investigations into Europe’s management of multiculturalism and religious pluralism. Studies to date have chiefly focused on the integration of the cultural and religious “other,” but we take a different approach by analyzing asylum proceedings in Germany, based on conversions from Islam to Christianity. Negotiations of credibility of newly converted Christian asylum seekers help to show how European legal authorities conceive of their own historically Christian identity and their expectations of newcomers. We show how these negotiations are influenced by the power dynamics in the courts, understandings of cultural and religious contexts, and assumptions about conversion and Christianity. Our interdisciplinary approach provides insights into how European legal authorities navigate the challenge of cultural and religious others to Europe’s cultural cohesion, “values,” and secularism.

On the model-theoretic account, a sentence is logically true just in case it is true on all possible semantic interpretations. We dierentiate four ways one can interpret the modality 'possible' in this definition, and argue that one of these readings is not subject to the criticism levelled against the model-theoretic account by Etchemendy. By explicating the four readings we also draw some consequences for what linguistic evidence a selection of logical theories should be sensitive to.
