In his work La Mythologie Blanche with the important subtitle: La métaphore dans le texte philosophique, among other questions, he problematizes the history of metaphor problems, implications arising from historical and contemporary metaphor, as well as the possibilities of the relation of science to it. And, because the question of metaphor is given as one of the important sources of religious conflicts in this paper, the metaphor in the theological text is to be problematized, following in the footsteps of Derrida's thought achievements. In other words: in this paper, one has to read one question of metaphor in a philosophical text as a question of the possibility of metaphor in a theological text. The hypothesis of this paper to be proved is that religious conflicts arise from a multitude of phenomena that we can reduce to the lowest common denominator named as ignorance, and in this context as a source of subject ignorance -among many other phenomena -a metaphor is given in the theological text: there is no intention here to prove the existence of metaphor in the theological text but the possibility of the existence of metaphor in the theological text in the wake of Derrida's mental achievements on the basis of which Derrida's work La Mythologie Blanche is given as a contribution to the incoherence of religious conflicts.","PeriodicalId":31566,"journal":{"name":"Kom Casopis za Religijske Nauke","volume":"18 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81728504","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The great remnants of the Shiites in the past show that not only did the Shiites have a serious presence in this country, but also a period of strong political power to the extent that the Shiites ruled some areas in the past. The cultural, religious and political contexts of the formation and growth of Shiism in this country from the past to the present all show the serious presence of Shiites in this region. In the contemporary era, the most important phenomenon that has created suitable conditions for the growth of Shiism in this country is the Islamic Revolution of Iran, which has had beneficial effect on the people of this country. This article seeks to examine the contexts of Shiite growth from the past to the present. The author has studied and researched mainly this issue in the field and by analysing his findings in this country, he has proved the major effects of the Islamic Revolution of Iran on it.","PeriodicalId":31566,"journal":{"name":"Kom Casopis za Religijske Nauke","volume":"4 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76908318","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This is the highest legal act of the SPC which contains, besides the provisions that regulate the rules of church life and the authority of certain bodies of the SPC, a number of provisions related to offenses (guilt) and sanctions for unlawful acts. In addition to the offenses and system of ecclesiastical criminal sanctions, the paper also points to the jurisdiction of church courts in pronouncing ecclesiastical sentences. Church impunity and punishment are presented, in accordance with the system of the Constitution of the SPC. The penalties vary depending on whether they can be given to priests or believers because the purpose of punishment is different from those of the two categories of Church members. Wherever necessary, the similarities and differences are pointed out between the criminal law provisions in Constitution of the Serbian Orthodox Church and the criminal law of the Republic of Serbia, as well as development of ecclestiastical crimes and penalties from first cannons, Dušan's Code to nowdays. The aim of this paper is to point out to both scholarly and expert public, and believers, who are most often lay people, this part of the church right, which, according to the author, is unjustly neglected in this kind of papers.","PeriodicalId":31566,"journal":{"name":"Kom Casopis za Religijske Nauke","volume":"28 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83098431","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This writing tries to find the bases, contexts and factors of radicalism rising and its formation, especially in the Muslim world. The purpose of this study is to search the thinking infrastructure and factors of appearance and emersion of radicalism and terrorism, so, the main question of this study is to examine the context, background and factors of radicalization and the emergence of the idea in Islamic community.

In response to the question , this hypothesis presents that Factors can be divided into two parts: theoretical-intellectual and sociological factors, In the section on theoretical intellectual factors some factors such as non-comprehensive and wrong analysis of holly texts; overcoming feelings and emotions over reason and rationality; feeling of injustice and unfair, despairing from current situation and having no hope to improve and reform, and in sociological section, some factors, such as utilization from extremism as an instrument in foreign relations by some super powers, poverty, incorrect foreign relations of some super powers and processes of globalization, are some important grounds and factors that lead to radicalism extension in recent decades. This study was conducted according to the sociology of knowledge.","PeriodicalId":31566,"journal":{"name":"Kom Casopis za Religijske Nauke","volume":"235 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90500630","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Belief in religious ideas or in general cognitive judgments is the meaning that will be discussed in more detail in this paper. Given the exceptional importance of faith in designing a person's life, even in a non-religious aspect, we will explore different dimensions of this human phenomenon in the Islamic tradition. Given that theological debates do not talk about the essence of faith but about its relationship with human actions, we have paid attention to Islamic philosophers and their ontological view of faith so as to present the essential properties of faith. The names of man's cognitive powers relating to the origin of belief are not the same in all Islamic scientific disciplines and are based on different descriptions of the human cognitive system. The mind and the heart are the two most frequently mentioned powers from which man's belief originates, and according to the Qur'anic text and Islamic traditions, they have enough common properties to be marked as the highest level of not only human knowledge but also of being. In Islamic philosophy the intellect is a supramaterial being that does not depend on matter either in its being or in its actions.","PeriodicalId":31566,"journal":{"name":"Kom Casopis za Religijske Nauke","volume":"56 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82967854","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The idea of religion as a useful lie emerges, placing a human religious life in the sphere of socially lucrative. Violence which was inspired by a fanatical interpretation of religion at the beginning of the 21st century, has encouraged the publication of many works with pronounced atheistic ideas. The term \"new atheism\" was first mentioned in 2006 in the American magazine \"Wired\". The topic of the magazine was an increasingly large number of published books promoting anti-religious views, especially the works of Richard Dawkins, Christopher Hitchens Sam Harris and Dennett Daniel. Since then, the term \"new atheism\" has become more widely used, and it has been included by other contemporary thinkers. The propagandists of these ideas are very active on social networks, blogs and podcast programs.

{"title":"Analytical causation in Islamic philosophy","authors":"S. Agha","doi":"10.5937/kom2203053s","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.5937/kom2203053s","url":null,"abstract":"Analytical causation is a type of causation that is often overlooked in philosophical textbooks. This type of causation is contrasted with external causation. In modern times, contemporary philosophers have made efforts to show the importance of this category of causation. Nevertheless, there are many ambiguities surrounding the nature of this type of causation that must be removed before it can find its proper place in Islamic philosophy. First of all, the nature of this category of causation must be determined. In order to accomplish this, the terms concept, meaning, instance and individual should be defined. The clarification of these terms shows that philosophy is essentially concerned with meaning. Secondly, it must be shown how one thing can be the instance of numerous concepts and meanings without any contradiction arising. These two premises can help clarify how analytical causation is not philosophically problematic; rather, it is imperative and necessary. Historically speaking, Islamic philosophers never explicitly mentioned analytical causation as a separate type of causation. Nevertheless, in many places, they used the term causation to refer to cases where there is no external existential distinction between a cause and its effect. Muslim philosophers unanimously agree upon the principle that states that there is no mutual concomitance without causation. Based upon this principle, it is possible to demonstrate that there is causation between things that do not possess external existential distinction with one another but that mutually necessitate one another, such as existence and quiddity, two essentially necessary beings (such as the names of God and His essence) and two essentially impossible beings (such as a vicious circle and the priority of something over itself). This in turn shows the possibility of analytical causation. Another important discussion related to the subject of analytical causation is the differences between analytical and external causation. Although these two categories of causation have properties in common, there are also some fundamental distinctions between them. By way of example, in analytical causation, causation is a secondary intelligible. This is why it is a primary intelligible in external causation. What is more, in analytical causation, cause and effect are not instances of contraries. There are other distinctions between analytical and external causation. These and other important aspects of this discussion will be examined in this paper.","PeriodicalId":31566,"journal":{"name":"Kom Casopis za Religijske Nauke","volume":"26 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83224643","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Their ontological view is centered on the concept of Imamate and according to them all the grace that is seen in the world is because of the Infallibles as they are the channel of Divine Grace. So in addition to having a legislative role, the Imam has an influence on the system of natural law as well. This research, which relies upon the sacred scriptures of the Bektashi Alavi Order, aims to show that their fundamental beliefs were based upon Shia thought and that they have faith in the pillars and subsidiaries of religion; even though they may differ from the Shia in certain practices and apparent rituals, there is no difference between them regarding the pillars and fundamentals of religion. Furthermore, the attempts of certain Sunni scholars to try and separate this Order from its Shia roots and introduce it as a Sunni order in the form of academic articles will be shown to be incorrect and invalid. Furthermore, the attribution of a Christian trinity like concept to this order is a baseless and unfair claim and essentially flawed. In this paper, light will be thrown on certain important discrepancies regarding the beliefs of the Bektashi Alavi Order that were previously overlooked and the unity of their belief system with that of the Shia's will be attempted to be proven by means of content analysis of the main sacred scriptures of the Alavis such as the Buyruks, Husniyyah and the Divan of the Seven Poets, as these texts act as interpreters for their beliefs.","PeriodicalId":31566,"journal":{"name":"Kom Casopis za Religijske Nauke","volume":"147 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72920302","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
