This study aims to explain the Buddha's teachings and philosophy Nietzsche in interpreting and contemplating the world and human suffering. Nietzsche and Buddhism, in particular aspects, have several similarities and differences that were fruitful to compare. Nietzsche was quite unaffected by Schopenhauer, who introduced Indian wisdom to the west. This paper has revealed that Buddha taught is to live with moral guidance. On the other hand, Nietzsche delivered value transvaluation to overcome suffering and nihilism conditions. Buddhism and Nietzsche had different views about desire and will. They started from quite similar initial assumptions about reality and certain ontological aspects; nevertheless, they had taken different solutions for human problems and axiological aspects.

SEMANTIC VARIATIONS OF THE CONCEPT OF KOŁTUN ‘POLISH PLAIT’ IN SELECTED TEXT OF POLISH AND LITHUANIAN CULTURES The paper discusses semantic changes and stylistic derivation of the cultural concept of kołtun ‘Polish plait’ (Plica polonica) in Polish and Lithuanian. Although today it is impossible to meet a person with a kołtun on their head, the concept itself, as an element of socially established knowledge of the world, has survived and is still used in various discourses (ranging from dialectal texts and folklore, belles-lettres and journalistic writing, to contemporary Internet messages), to communicate different meanings, both literal and metaphorical.There are similarities and differences between the conceptualizations of kołtun in texts of Polish and Lithuanian cultures. The unifying element is the perception of kołtun as a formation of entangled hair or a mysterious disease that is inscribed into the folk system of beliefs and magical rituals. On the other hand, what sets the analysed concept apart in the two languages, is a much richer resource of folk and colloquial forms (compounds, hybrid words, phrasemes) in Lithuanian, and in addition, the lack of negative evaluation of kołtun in Lithuanian, whereas in Polish the word is often used to describe a backward, small-minded person.

Similarities And Differences

This comparative study aims to investigate the similarities and differences between the two Arab poets, Badr Shaker Al-Sayyab and Salah Abd al-Sabur from one hand and T. S. Eliot from the other. The study attempts to investigate the attitudes of those poets towards impersonality. It shows how impersonality from the perspective of Abd al-Sabur is not like Eliot’s, who emphasizes that impersonality is critical to poetry while Abd al-Sabur argues that personality and impersonality together form a perfect work. Unlike them, Al-Sayyab does not have critical comments on the terms of personality and impersonality. The study also aims to investigate the resemblance between those poets, regarding their attitudes towards traditional heritage. It also attempts to investigate intertextuality between their texts. The analysis is comparatively based on some selected poems composed by the three above-mentioned poets. The study concludes that Al-Sayyab, Abd al-Sabur and Eliot hold similar views on traditional heritageas they emphasize the necessity of a positive relation between modern and traditional heritage. In regards to impersonality in poetry, Eliot contradicts himself because he could not escape being impersonal in his poetry. On the other hand, Abd al-Sabur’s and Al-Sayyab’s poems bear stamps of personality and impersonality. The study also concludes that intertexulaity between Al-Sayyab and Abd al-Sabur, from one hand and T. S. Eliot from the other, is due to acculturation rather than influence and eurocentrism.

Most people in Pakistan look towards the West for models of economic development, and some even look to the Islamic past. But in recent decades, the more spectacular cases have been much closer to home, and towards the East. Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan are already in the ranks of the developed, while China, Malaysia, Indonesia, and Thailand are making good progress. Despite the recent setbacks, their progress over the last three decades has been enviable. On the other hand, the countries in South Asia have lagged behind. Four decades ago there was little to choose between most of these countries, but by the seventies, the paths of some had clearly diverged, while others were beginning to diverge. Today, Pakistan, India, Bangladesh, and Sri Lanka are amongst the poorest in the world, and on certain measures, they are the poorest! What happened in the last four decades? This is the issue that Omar Noman tackles in this book.

The aim of the research was to analyze the artistic decorations of the mosaic of the ancient Umayyad civilization in Palestine in the light of a comparative study between the most important umayyad palaces in Khirbet al-Minya in Tiberias and Khirbet al-Masrif in Jericho. There is no doubt that the archaeological site of Khirbet al-Monaina in Palestine has played a major role in the decoration of floors and walls, where we find it covering the dome above the top of the huge hall of the palace and take geometric and floral motifs, in addition to covering some of the floors of rooms filled with many mosaics of various shapes and use. On the other hand, there is a consensus among archaeologists and Islamic arts that the ruins of Khirbet al-Mafjar are unique architectural buildings in Palestine, which represent one of the important examples in the history of Islamic art in the Umayyad period, because of its possession of fine art decorations and various materials of plaster, in addition to mosaic floors and frescoes, as well as buildings rich in examples of patterns used by the Umayyads in architectural decoration. After the comparative analytical study of the Umayyad mosaic in Khirbet al-Mania in Tiberias and Khirbet al-Mafjar in Jericho, the research found out and discovered the similarities and differences between them.

A study in poetic affinities between Rabindranath Tagore and Robert Frost seems a bit strange to the reader as both the poets belong to two different nations. Apparently there is no connection between the two great poets – one belongs to America and the other belongs to India with a poetic career spanning the last four decades of the 19th century and the first four decades of the 20th century. The affinities between Tagore and Frost are clearly seen in their works. In respect of their poetic vision, their attitude to nature, the world, sense of beauty and wonder, yearning for the ideal, both the poets share a considerable portion of similarities. However, a sense of divergence from each other prevails beneath the similarities as Tagore is a devotee and his appreciation, particularly in the West, refers to him as a mystic poet, while Frost is an agnostic. This paper attempts to make a comparative study of Frost’s ‘Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening’ and Tagore’s “Aimless Journey” with a view to unfolding the astonishing similarities and differences between the poets.IIUC Studies Vol.12 December 2015: 27-40

And Control

Imperialism and colonialism have spawned research centers that examine the parts of the world that they control. Through these centers, orientalists work to discuss, write, produce and perform the Eastern world on the stage of Western culture. Authenticity, exoticism and grandeur of the East are dismantled, stripped down, doubted and elusive. Through orientalist goggles, the East is produced as a "hybrid" form; no more pure and original East. East is used as a storage or projection of their own unfamiliar (read: the West) aspects, such as crime, moral decadence, and so on. On the other hand, the East is seen as a dazzling world of exotic and full of mystical seductions. Meanwhile, unlike the orientalism that was originally intended as a serious study of the cultures to legitimize Western colonial powers in the Eastern world, occidentalism is precisely born from the methodological problems of orientalism which is said to be objective. Whereas behind the objectivity is stored Western interests to dominate, rearrange, and control the East. Orientalism has sparked nativist intellectuals to question the validity of orientalist works in constructing Eastern stereotypes. It cannot be denied then that these two discourses - Orientalism and Occidentalism - are in a position between the clashes and the global cultural dialogue.Keywords: Orientalism, oxidentalism, imperialism, colonialism, conf­­lict, dialogue Imperialisme dan kolonialisme telah melahirkan pusat-pusat studi dan kajian yang menelaah belahan dunia yang dikuasainya. Melalui pusat-pusat kajian inilah, para orientalis bekerja untuk memperbincangkan, menulis, memproduksi dan mempertunjukkan dunia Timur di atas panggung kebudayaan Barat. Keaslian, keeksotisan dan keagungan Timur dibongkar, dipreteli, diragukan dan dibuat samar-samar. Melalui kacamata orientalis, Timur diproduksi sebagai suatu bentuk “hibrida”; tidak ada lagi Timur yang murni dan orisinal. Timur dijadikan tempat penyimpanan atau proyeksi dari aspek-aspek mereka sendiri (baca: Barat) yang tidak diakuinya, seperti kejahatan, dekadensi moral, dan lain-lain. Pada sisi lain, Timur dipandang sebagai dunia mempesonakan dari yang eksotis dan penuh dengan rayuan-rayuan mistis. Sementara itu, berbeda halnya dengan orientalisme yang sejak semula dimaksudkan sebagai kajian serius politik-budaya untuk melegitimasi kekuatan-kekuatan kolonial Barat di dunia Timur, oksidentalisme justeru lahir dari problem metodologis orientalisme yang katanya obyektif. Padahal di balik keobyektifan itu tersimpan kepentingan-kepentingan Barat untuk  mendominasi, menata kembali, dan menguasai Timur. Orientalisme telah memicu para intelektual nativis untuk mempertanyakan keabsahan (validitas) karya-karya para orientalis dalam membangun stereotip-stereotip ketimuran. Maka tidak dapat dipungkiri kemudian bahwa dua wacana ini — orientalisme dan oksidentalisme — berada dalam posisi di antara benturan dan dialogisme budaya global.Kata-kata kunci: orientalisme, oksidentalisme, imperialisme, kolo­nialisme, benturan, dialog

This paper aims to provide a comprehensive report of the results of a comparative study of Slovenian and Korean library law. Although the countries of Slovenia and Korea have entirely different historical backgrounds, the library laws of both countries are of a comprehensive nature. Despite this, there are many differences between them. This study aims to clarify the differences between the library legislation of Slovenia and Korea and indicates the origins of these differences. The library laws of Slovenia and Korea share a common comprehensive nature and in both countries, library policy is administered by the Ministry charged with culture. Nonetheless, significant differences may be observed in their chapter structures, description methods, composition, as well as the characteristics of the shared national bibliographic system, etc. Additional findings indicate that as a small country surrounded by larger states, Slovenia has historically been more prone to accepting different cultures and can interact with them easily. On the other hand, by not embracing multiple cultures within its system of library law, Korea still fails to provide social and cultural security to ethnic minorities and migrants. This paper represents not only a juxtaposed comparison of Slovenian and Korean library laws, but also provides a detailed cross comparison, considering all of the similarities and differences that may be understood through this process. This study clarifies how each country’s social systems and the environment surrounding library affected the enactments of currently applicable library legislation.

The well-known myth of binary- England and India creates a conflict for the contrastive attitude in E. M. Forster’s A Passage to India and Nirad C Chaudhuri’s travelogue A Passage to England. The binary opposition of Anglo-Indian as colonizers and Indians as colonized leads to another set of binary, white-colored, and civilized-primitive in A Passage to India. This binary contradicts each other to form them in another set of binary, controller-controlled during the British imperial rule in India. The contrastive structure is in the form of conflict reflected in their outlook, behavior, and lifestyle in this novel. On the other hand, by an eight-week-journey in western countries, Chaudhuri, as an Indian in England, exposes what he observes in the west together with the reality of India in the travelogue. He recognizes the social binaries upholded by Jacques Derrida in A Passage to England. Chaudhuri in his book has executed this binary sense as England-India, British-Indians possessing two independent entities of the world. The two writers, through Hegel’s dialectic process, place the binary opposition implanting Derrida’s view. The article focuses on the nature of the conflict and tries to explore reconciliation of the conflicts based on the comparative analysis of two books.

Most studies of Simone de Beauvoir situate her with respect to Hegel and the tradition of 20th-century phenomenology begun by Husserl, Heidegger, and Merleau-Ponty. This book analyzes The Second Sex in light of the concepts of becoming, problematization, and the Other found in Gilles Deleuze. Reading Beauvoir through a Deleuzian lens allows more emphasis to be placed on Beauvoir's early interest in Bergson and Leibniz, and on the individuation of consciousness, a puzzle of continuing interest to both phenomenologists and Deleuzians. By engaging with the philosophical issues in her novels and student diaries, this book rethinks Beauvoir’s focus on recognition in The Second Sex in terms of women’s struggle to individuate themselves despite sexist forms of representation. It shows how specific forms of women’s “lived experience” can be understood as the result of habits conforming to and resisting this sexist “sense.” Later feminists put forward important criticisms regarding Beauvoir’s claims not to be a philosopher, as well as the value of sexual difference and the supposedly Eurocentric universalism of her thought. Deleuzians, on the other hand, might well object to her ideas about recognition. This book attempts to address those criticisms, while challenging the historicist assumptions behind many efforts to establish Beauvoir’s significance as a philosopher and feminist thinker. As a result, readers can establish a productive relationship between Beauvoir’s “problems” and those of women around the world who read her work under very different circumstances.
