human good
In-Between feature of Human Good
In this paper I want to explore the appropriate perspective for approaching human good. It seems that choose of a proper point of view is a very important task for it highlights the kind of facing towards human good . I think that this perspective can be a dialogical one – I as a human being have some ideas and suggestions about human good , but human good too as an entity has some connotations apart from me in every culture and civilization.
According to this perspective I have to have a special approaching to the other part that means human good and this approach is relation .
With regard to this dialogical perspective and relational approach there can be a proper relation for understanding human good :
Everyone as a multidimensional and in-between (metaxy) constructing meets by common sense with a multidimensional and in-between entity called human good.
Civil Knowledge , Human Good and Human Evil
In this paper I want to present my hermeneutical reading of Farabi and make relations between civil knowledge as the matrix of human good , human good as the pivot of civil knowledge and human evil , and finally human evil as an accidental. Human good as an action in distinction of essential good and natural good is a volitional good and it is the result of the connection of rational / speech faculty with essential good. In this connection we can have only human evil that is in contrariety with and not contradiction of human good. But the context of human good is civil knowledge and this kind of knowledge has some responsibility with regard to it – such as exploration , explanation and distribution of common human good .
A Comparative Reading of Analytic / Holistic Matrices
In this paper I want to present a reading of two distinct matrices .By reading I mean a conversational constructing of meaning with regard to the text, context and language .By matrix I mean its Latin origin( womb) as a resource and mold . By the analytic and holistic matrices I mean ancient Greek and China respectively. Comparative exploration and examination of these two matrices under the title of analytic and holistic shapes the foundation of this paper.
In the classical Greek matrix on the whole there is a personal agency that can know the world – this personal agency, self or ego has freedom and independence . In accordance with this belief the personal agency goes toward any subject for knowing it – the subject that is particular, controllable and pivot . For realizing this aim the personal agency classifies subjects for description, explanation and prediction – this classification needs rules, hierarchy and relation with its subject. And for doing all this personal agency applies a special logic named formal logic – this logic is based on distinction of form from matter, non contradiction and identity.
In the classical China matrix on the whole there is a collective agency – person is a part of a broader and complex background or field . In accordance with this belief for collective agency important matter is harmony and doing duties with respect to the other members of the broader field. For realizing this the collective agencies go together toward seeking the relations, interconnections and similarities. And for doing all these collective agencies apply dialectic.
