يعد مفهوم العقلانية من أوفر المفاهيم الفلسفية حظاً فيما يتعلق بالاختلافات حوله، بل هو أشد المفاهيم عرضه للرفض أو النقد و التحليل، لذا فإن بحثنا محاولة في فض الإشكالية المتعلقة بضبط مصطلح العقلانية كمفهوم يشير إلى دلالات متعددة في حقبة الفلسفة الحديثة، التي تعد التأسيس الحقيقي لما وصل إليه العالم اليوم في كل مناحيه الفكرية و العلمية و الاجتماعية. و تبعاً لهذا السياق الاصطلاحي و المفهومي حاولنا في البحث التركيز على تاريخية مفهوم العقلانية من خلال نشأتها و تطورها كاتجاه في الفكر الأوروبي الحديث، بوصفه الحامل لأولية العقل، منطلقاً من عدة معانٍ متكاملة حيناً و متناقضة حيناً آخر، ليحمل بذلك دلالات متعددة، تتنوع بتنوع مجال استخدامه، و بشيء من التركيز حاولنا إبراز أهم المعاني التي يقال بها مصطلح العقلانية. علّنا بذلك نساهم في رفع الالتباس الذي لحق به، و الذي كان سبباً في غموض المصطلح، و بالتالي سبباً لتشويش فهمنا لفلسفة الحداثة.
Rationality is by far the luckiest philosophical concept in so far as its controversial status is concerned. It is also one of the terms most liable to rejection, criticism and analysis. Hence, our paper is an attempt to unscramble the controversy relating to tuning the term of rationality into a concept that denotes multiple significations in the era of modern philosophy, and which are considered the real foundation of what today's world has reached in its intellectual, scientific and social aspects. According to this terminological and conceptual context, we have tried in this paper to shed special light on the genealogy of the concept of rationality, its origins and evolution as a trend in modern European thought, given that it is a signifier that denotes the priority of the mind, and which derives from various meanings that are complementary at times, yet contradictory at others, whereby carrying multiple significations, that vary in accordance with its field of use. With a certain degree of special attention, we have also tried to glean some of the most basic meanings associated with the term of rationality. We hope that this way we may be able to clarify the obscurity that engulfs the term, something which has caused its ambiguity, and thus our confused understanding of the philosophy of modernity.

The modern revolution in Fine Arts started by rationality used for building the new form, and
it started by emotionality and sensuality in style by forming eyeglass image in the physical
reality.
The painting was a tangible declaration from the ab
stract thinking.
The reason could be the motivation to control the sensuality, to decompose the information,
and to explore the results.
It uses comparison of the new information for changing the construction of real form, and
transfiguring it by the senses from imitation, to produce new forms as imagined by the painter.
This reason is influenced by the new schools of Fine Arts, like: Impressionism, Cubism,
Surrealism, and abstraction.
This research tries to examine the concept of self within the framework of modern
philosophy and contemporary philosophy, in an attempt to highlight the role of this
concept in the formation of most of the philosophical doctrines from the Greek era
to the
contemporary philosophy, through modern philosophy.
In this research, we will attempt to study the formation of this concept in the
framework of modern and contemporary philosophy, to show the philosophers' interest in
this concept and the extent to which the concept is linked to the clarify their own
philosophy. Therefore, the research attempts to provide a follow-up reading of the concept
of self in a comparative historical context, in which we demonstrate that this concept is still
alive in contemporary philosophy, albeit with different names, such as reason, mind or
feeling.
We will conclude from this the importance of the concept of self in the philosophical
context, which still occupies an important space in the thinking of modern and
contemporary philosophers. Here we will try to ask several questions, including what is the
dualism of the soul and body. How can the soul be a logical synthesis, an emanated mind,
or a subjective feeling? In this research, we will try to answer these questions and other
questions that will appear in the context of the research.
The research addressed a critical analytical study of the moral basis of scientific
knowledge from the viewpoint of the contemporary philosopher of science Karl popper,
throughout his opinion on the fact that scientific knowledge is incomplete when
not based
on cognitive approach and moral content which protect it from slipping and error, stressing
the close relationship and the strong correlation between knowledge and ethics, which if
deviated affected the standards of science as a whole.
Results showed that knowledge, generally, is everyone's right to possess, threr
resides the truth, and to reach this truth there must be many methodologies, says popper,
the most important of which is the critical approach and rational dialog, by which we
realize that the human makes mistakes and, consequently, his knowledge may be wrong,
and to access the real scientific knowledge the skeptical approach should be followed in
which the premise is tested in different ways.
Popper pointed out that the insightful human recipient can exercise these logical
operations, and the insightful human is naturaly forgivable non- fanatic, open to criticism,
non-monopolistic of knowledge and therefore the basis of knowledge is purely ethical,
without which knowledge loses its meaning and credibility.
Then all these "dresses" torn out under the wheels of nineteenth and twentieth century
development, and controlled by technology and digital programming of twenty first-century.
This paper is based on morally experience as an invitation to live in
a city aimed to
make its individuals reach the highest levels of human perfection, by treating the city concept
with traditional means and methods the modern city needs to complete its development
procedures more than technology, economic abilities, and strategy qualifications. So, an
imaginary city had been created with the same name as Damascus, and same geographic
location, Barada, Qasion, Al-Ghoota and every part of it is exactly the same, except for the time.
It was unspecified. Finally, the paper induces to use the virtue concept as a key to solve all the
city issues and as a base for its reforming and organizing process.
The principle of causality is considered one of the most important philosophical and
scientific principles that played a seminal role in developing scientific and epistemic
research. This started with the commencement of philosophical thought. Sinc
e then the
early philosophers attempted to look for the first causes that formed the universe and the
real reasons that led to the phenomena and incidents happeningin it , Hence, the principle
of causality helped to present a general comprehensive viewpoint about the universe. This
viewpoint says that nature always undergoes fixed rules, phenomena becomes regular
according to a certain system and that the hierarchy of these phenomena is linked with
systems that have laws and certain causal liaisons .
With the advancement of science and knowledge, it has become clear to scientists
and thinkers that mind does not conclude laws save through a number of principles, one of
which is the principle of causality. Thus, scientific experiment shows that phenomena are
related to each other as the causesare related to the effects. This is explained through the
principle of causality by which it is possible to derive conclusions of the general laws that
rule the relationships between correlated phenomena , As a result of the causal theory,
many philosophical and scientific concepts that are strongly related to the principle of
causality emerged. Such concepts were that of necessity, inevitability and indeterminism
which in its turn led to the emergence of many philosophical doctrines and scientific
movements that contributed greatly to the scientific and epistemic sphere through the
theories and problematic questions they posed and probed.
