Santyana's writings call repeated attention to the ultimate significance which form
possesses for experience in giving meaning and value to our activities. Unless a man is
interested in the characters which things have or might have, he can hardly
be said to live
at all, in any morally significant sense. One strain of Santyana's thought, consists of a
combination of materialism in metaphysics, humanism in morals, and realistic
methodology in the theory of knowledge. These doctrine receive dominate expression in
the works of the middle period, especially in his book (The life of Reason). In this essay
we will try to illustrate Santyana's materialism tendency, especially in the book (The life of
Reason), and we will try to prove that his materialism was not of the myopic sort which
believes that the material existence were the sole reality.
This research studies the linguistic theory throughout Arabic Language characteristics and laws which could be Found in structure of language. It also draws attention to the constituents of the mental existence, and connects them with the linguistic
deduction. This study discusses the linguistic phenomena, and analyzes the linguistic structure in the same way wherefrom we can see the language as sensual existence phenomenon overlapping with abstract lawsof thebehavior of things.Subsequently, this study tries to confirm the relevance, on theone hand, between the language as a human phenomenon and the mental laws. On the other hand, it relates to the language and the material laws bringing out the beauty of the Arabic language.
This research sheds light on the real role imagination plays in building our
knowledge besides the two fuclies of sensitivity understanding ,all through finding
Coherence and harmony between the two world`s of sensation and understanding
via two m
ajor roler through which imagination achieves it`s special function of
connecting and constituting this making objective knowledge a possibility .
An empirical sensuous role in which imagination presents embodiments of things,
after uniting sensuous impressions of the faculty of understanding, so it provides it`s
characteristics with the appropriate intuitions and makes them conceive things rationally
and spontaneously .
A creative role in which role imagination practices its most important role of
constituting , through providing pure intellectual drawings and plannings ,which introduces
for general constituting that understanding characteristics achieves on the level of
intellect ,and allows through it for composing objective judgments that accomplish the
condition of possible scientific knowledge .
The research also demonstrates that word of imagination takes the form of time, that
time is homogeneous with intuition because it includes our sensuous embodiments , and it
is a general total, and primary role suites all phenomena .
The western philosophy could generally be best described as, Derrida called it, the
Metaphysics of Presence. It is intellectual movement that started with the Greek
philosophers and reached its peak with Heigel through the concept of metaphysics. T
he
research question here is how such an intellectual movement has specifically promoted
through a specific subject matter, which is the transference from the moment of
metaphysics into that of presence, in other words, the alteration of the metaphysical
concept of existence, as it is per se, into concept of absolute presence. Accordingly, in this
piece of research, we shall endeavor to highlight how the concept of metaphysics, with
Husserl, uncovers itself through three key points, as follows:
1. Intuition is epistemological basis to authentic positivism.
2. The transcendental domain is that of existence.
3. The existence that presents itself via intuition is an epistemological moment. This
means, existence itself is simultaneously both the absolute presence and the metaphysical
moment. Thus, we shall prove that Husserl possesses a presuppositions which is the
metaphysics of presence.
The paper Sheds light on one of the most important problems among the whole problems
that we find in the history of philosophy, namely, the problem of the relationship between wisdom
and Sharia law, trying to disclose the nature of the relationship
between wisdom and law in order to
detect intellectual conflicts or issues that the philosophers tried to detect the pivotal and key points
between wisdom and Sharia law, and philosophy and religion, through the general cultural state
prevailing in the Arab society during the Islamic middle ages. In addition, we will try to clarify the
theoretical and methodological foundations of the problem of reconciling and highlight the
ideological goals that drove the philosophers to reconcile between wisdom and Sharia.
