Read More Pluralism is rooted in the long history of Arab thought, as in the Abbasid era, to the extent that its consequences were manifested in the emergence of contradictory ideas, parties and personalities engaging with one another in order to attain power by exploiting religion and ethnicity. Contractions that often did not have any rational logic beyond them but only to achieve power. In this way, we sometimes see the emergence of intellectual and sometimes reactionary thoughts. The dialectic was conducted in a narrow worldview focused on "self" and the commemoration of "me" and the "other" rejection in a closed loop. A discourse that was fueled by power struggles, religious and ethnic affiliations, the rise of tribal strife and, ultimately, civil wars. But in the contemporary era, the link between thought and civilization and science provided the basis for using the intellectual achievements of the world for Arab thought to establish a rational link between tradition and modernity in the Arab world. Just as the atmosphere of an open contemporary discourse, in line with the new needs, provided the ground for emancipation from the absurd thoughts and long-suffering ideas that had long been shadowed by the collective thought of the Arabs. Though today, this idea is facing obstacles and challenges, it is in line with modernity and its positive and negative consequences. So its manifestations can be seen in the thoughts of the intellectuals of the Arab world in many countries and undoubtedly its implications in the social sphere of the Arab world will be reflected and found, so that the Arab Spring can be considered part of the intellectual outcomes in the Arab world. The present article seeks to use the descriptive-analytical method of contemporary Arab thought and how the emancipation of such scholars as Aedounis, Mostafa Hejazi, Hassan Hanafi and others from the fatalistic self-centeredness of their era, which had destroyed all the modernist effects of the past.

The Impact of Palestinian Sustainability on Human Discourse in Fadwᾱ Touqᾱn’s Poetry

Abstract

Concepts and values like liberty, love and dignity which are innately familiar to human beings have a special place in Fadwᾱ Touqᾱn’s Divan and shape his humanistic discourse. ... Read More Concepts and values like liberty, love and dignity which are innately familiar to human beings have a special place in Fadwᾱ Touqᾱn’s Divan and shape his humanistic discourse. Using the mysterious and alluding language of the poet to transfer the discursive concepts and the emphasis on the internal and external correlation, in the first place, expresses the stifling of the society, and in continuation indicates the poet’ s effort to grasp the line of union. This research studies the effects of resilience of Palestine on the humanistic discourse in Fadwᾱ Touqᾱn’s Divan. The research method is descriptive-analytic and uses the existing documents related to the subject matter. The categories studies in this paper are: love, liberty, dignity, fighting against oppression and death. The most important findings of this study include impersonality of love, love as a genuine social value which is rooted in homeland and its people, liberty as equivalent with life, death as equivalent with life, realisation of the poets’ prophecy in safe guarding the dignity of the people of the homeland, defining the way to dignity in realisation of the freedom of the homeland and coming home of the refugees, using the metaphor of plague for the oppression and injustice which has shredded the homeland and defining the way out of it by collecting all the internal and external forces, belief in the necessity of the flesh to return back to the soil of the homeland because it came from the same soil to get resurrected and declaring this as the reason for the delight of death. From the viewpoint of Fadwᾱ Touqᾱn, the freedom will be more lasting if it is attained by fighting and struggling and its permanence will be greater for future generations. Love is the leaven of unity that can trigger the love of the homeland, and the body, rising from the earth, must return to the same origin; and in this way the poet rushes to meet death.
