“…This shift has increased the significance of knowledge. Advocating the empirical methods further by well-known rationalists like Descartes, Spinoza, and Leibniz (Anstey, 2010), it, in turn, has given rise to the thought that only knowledge can bring one up to the truth, and has led to glorifying and idolizing the science. In contrast, Cartesian approach of relating the individual to the consciousness (I think, therefore I am), Kant's attempts to push the religious concerns out of the borders of knowledge, and Hegel's absolute concept did not work towards a solution.…”

According to the retrospective analysis of the prominent representatives of European philosophy regarding knowledge and belief, the author suggests that the Universe is a "receptacle" of knowledge about the world, and one source of the knowledge origin is religion. Moreover, he depicts that the source of ideas' interpretation and new meanings receiving in the Islamic tradition is the collection "Risale-i Nur" written by the Turkish theologian Bediüzzaman Said Nursi. The new distinctive understanding of relations between the Qur'an-the book of "Divine language attribute" and the Universe-the book of "Divine will attribute" is offered in "Risale-i Nur". Bediüzzaman constantly draws attention to the Universe, demonstrates how "to read" it via the Qur'anic methodology, how to understand the eternal sense any that creation points at, and how to come to the conclusions mentioned in the Qur'an. Analysing the particular volumes of "Risale-i Nur" (namely, "The Words", "The Letters", "The Flashes", "The Rays"), the author highlights originality of Said Nursi's considerations that are neither similar to the wisdom of the East nor to the science of the West. "Risale-i Nur" is proved to reveal the conceptual meanings and the true values of the Universe by the direct inspiration of the Qur'an and not merely on the real rational deductions. Having accepted knowledge and observations in the light of pages and words from the book of the Universe, Nursi revealed the direct connection between the Qur'an and the Universe. Thus, he proved that there were not any contradictions between them and factually, they were written by the same author. Consequently, when "selfness" (the "I") is properly involved, it is obvious for a person that the book of the Universe is not different in any way for the revelation. The definitions of Said Nursi exist in four main concepts: one has the sense of the other; every notion contains its definition, intentions and perceptions. When the nature of "selfness" is known and used as described, it offers perceptions that does not reject the products of philosophical and scientific approach and interprets them in the light of revelation, transforming all information into the wisdom. Therefore, the key to deciphering a book of the Universe is in the human nature and its selfness.

Radical threats of spiritual security of the society

et al. 2020

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Each state and people has its own set of internal and external threats and, accordingly, its own specifics of ensuring national and spiritual security. Ensuring national security is associated primarily with the preservation and development of national identity, reflecting the traditions of the life of society, its culture and history. The degradation and then the disappearance of national (or ethnic) self-awareness means, in fact, the spiritual death of the people - the bearer of this self-awareness. Therefore, everything that threatens the destruction of national self-consciousness, fraught with the danger of its dissolution in the self-consciousness of other peoples, is a threat to the spiritual security of the people. Among the obvious internal premises that ensure the national and spiritual security of our country, we should name the unification of the people to solve national tasks of a spiritual and material order, the awareness of its representatives of their own interests and the manifestation of an organized will to protect them, optimized state institutions ready to ensure the protection of national interests, to guarantee stable and harmonious development of society, anticipating spiritual, cultural and scientific development, maintaining general stability in the state, establishing mutually beneficial business partnerships with all states of the world, but also taking into account a distant historical perspective, ensuring reliable protection of the sovereignty, integrity and security of your state.

The lasting effects of the debate over canon-formation during the 1980s affected the whole field of Humanities, which became increasingly engaged in interrogating the origin and function of the Western canon (Gorak 1991;Searle 1990). In philosophy, a great deal of criticism was, as a result, directed at the traditional narrative of seventeenth-and eighteenth-century philosophies-a critique informed by postcolonialism (Park 2013) as well as feminist historiography (Shapiro 2016). D. F. Norton (1981), L. Loeb (1981) and many others 1 attempted to demonstrate the weaknesses of the tripartite division between rationalism, empiricism and critical philosophy. 2 As time went on, symptoms of dissatisfaction with what has been called the "standard narrative" (Vanzo 2013) and the "epistemological paradigm" (Haakonssen 2004(Haakonssen , 2006 only increased. Indeed, at present, a consensus has been reached that the narrative of the antagonism between "Continental rationalism" and "British empiricism", and the consequent Aufhebung provided by "German critical philosophy," has been unable to make sense of the complexity, variety and dynamics of early modern
