A reflection on Bultmann's use of analogical language in thelight of the sociology of knowledge. Bultmann's approach to analogical language, or as he put it, mythological language, was to demythologise it. Reaction to his demythologising program was largely negative, as it seemed radical to many. This study shows that Bultmann's approach to analogical language does not differ much from the way the concept "analogical language" is used within the sociology of knowledge. It seems that disciplines which had previously been practised in isolation from each other, developed their own terminology. The result is that essentially the same issueswere referred to by different names, and that the same terms could be used todenote different issues. In this article the question whether analogical/mythological/symbolical/metaphorical language is treated in much the same way by thetwo different approaches is answered positively.

King assumed that exodus is an archetypal experience; it supplied him with the metaphorical language for interpreting the black experience in America—but always with agape informing his interpretation at every point along the way.

Chapter 4 considers a central tool of poets—the making of “figures.” It brings forward the ways in which imagery can privilege the visual and yet maintain complex, multisensory dimensions that draw the reader into a bodily encounter. It discusses metaphors and similes as types of comparison that can be both conventional and unstable, in that they invite the reader to draw conclusions about analogous qualities that cannot be fully disclosed. Metaphorical language for the deity is discussed. While some biblical poems explain their use of metaphors and symbols, many do not. When figures are symbolic, they remain open, relying on the reader to complete their significance. This analysis underscores the way in which poems are embedded in ancient contexts and simultaneously remain open to new contexts. Personification and anthropomorphism are presented as ecologically rich modes for negotiating the human being’s relationship to the more-than-human world. This chapter ends with a reading of Psalm 65.

<p>Abstrak: Artikel ini mencoba untuk mengulas metode penafsiran Jamâl al-Bannâ secara metodologis dan filosofis. Dimulai dengan upaya untuk mendekonstruksi interpretasi hasil dari semua mufasir klasik, Jamâl al-Bannâ mengusulkan tiga tahap dalam penafsiran al-Qur’an, yaitu pendekatan seni, pendekatan psikologis, dan pendekatan rasional. Ketiganya merupakan tahapan hierarkis untuk bisa sampai pada sebuah penafsiran. Setelah bisa sampai pada tahap penafsiran, Jamâl al-Bannâ tidak merekomendasikan metode tertentu atau membatasi ilmu pengetahuan tertentu sebagai metode analisa penafsiran. Ia menolak jika salah satu metode tertentu memiliki garansi sebagai satu-satunya cara untuk menemukan kebenaran, karena al-Qur’an tidak harus dibatasi. Dalam sosiologi pengetahuan, pemikirannya mirip denganAgainst Method (Anarkisme Metode) Paul K. Feyerabend. Bagi Jamâl al-Bannâ, manusia sangat otonom dan bebas untuk menafsirkan selama itu sejalan dengan prinsip-prinsip humanis dan universal yang terkandung dalam al-Qur’an.</p><p><br />Abstract: Methodological and Philosophical Analysis of Jamâl al-Bannâ’s Qur’anic Exegesis. This article seeks to analyze the method of Jamâl al-Bannâ’s interpretation. Beginning with an attempt to deconstruct the interpretation of the results of all classicalmufassir, Jamâl al-Bannâ proposed three stages in the interpretation of the Qur’an that include such approaches as stylistic, psychological, and rational method. All three approaches are utilized hierarchically in order to come to an interpretation. At the rational stage of Qur’anic exegesis, Jamâl al-Bannâ didn’t recommend a specific method or limit the science to a particular method. He refused that one particular method has the warranty as the only interpretation to seek the way for the truth, because the Qur’an should not be restricted. In the sociology of knowledge, his thinking is similar to that of Paul K. Feyerabend’s Against Method. According to Jamâl al-Bannâ, human beings are very autonomous and free to interpret the Qur’an as long as it is in line with the principles of humanistic and universal values as enshrined there in.</p><p><br />Kata Kunci: Tafsir al-Qur’an, Jamâl al-Bannâ, pendekatan seni, metode penafsiran</p>

Статья посвящена творчеству выдающегося российского мастера искусства П. Г. Дика. Он внес значительный вклад, создав большое число замечательных пастелей-новелл. В статье реконструируется творческий метод художника. Показано, как в ходе творческого осмысления эскизы и подготовительные рисунки преображаются в законченные глубокообразные произведения. На основании дневников, воспоминаний, анализа подготовительных набросков показаны путь, мысли художника к композиции, несущей философское умозаключение, рождение образа, активное использование метафорического языка в искусстве при переходе от конкретного к абстрактному. The article is devoted to the work of the outstanding Russian master of art P. G. Dik. He made a significant contribution, creating a large number of wonderful pastel-novels. The creative method of the artist is reconstructed in the article. It is shown how in the course of creative comprehension sketches and preparatory drawings are transformed into finished, profound works. On the basis of diaries, memoirs, analysis of preparatory sketches shows the way, the artist's thoughts to the composition that carries philosophical reasoning, the birth of the image, the active use of metaphorical language in art in the transition from concrete to abstract.

AbstractThe problem of extended fusion and identification can be approached from a diachronic perspective. Based on our own research, as well as findings from the fields of social, political, and clinical psychology, we argue that the way contemporary emotional events shape local fusion is similar to the way in which historical experiences shape extended fusion. We propose a reciprocal process in which historical events shape contemporary identities, whereas contemporary identities shape interpretations of past traumas.

Abstract The purpose of human cognition depends on the problem people try to solve. Defining the purpose is difficult, because people seem capable of representing problems in an infinite number of ways. The way in which the function of cognition develops needs to be central to our theories.

Ap stars are peculiar in many aspects. During this century astronomers have been trying to collect data about these and have found a confusing variety of peculiar behaviour even from star to star that Struve stated in 1942 that at least we know that these phenomena are not supernatural. A real push to start deeper theoretical work on Ap stars was given by an additional observational evidence, namely the discovery of magnetic fields on these stars by Babcock (1947). This originated the concept that magnetic fields are the cause for spectroscopic and photometric peculiarities. Great leaps for the astronomical mankind were the Oblique Rotator model by Stibbs (1950) and Deutsch (1954), which by the way provided mathematical tools for the later handling pulsar geometries, anti the discovery of phase coincidence of the extrema of magnetic field, spectrum and photometric variations (e.g. Jarzebowski, 1960).

I do not have access to the abstracts of the first meeting of EMSA but at this, the 50th Anniversary meeting of the Electron Microscopy Society of America, I have an excuse to consider the historical origins of the approaches we take to the use of electron microscopy for the characterisation of materials. I have myself been actively involved in the use of TEM for the characterisation of heterogeneities for little more than half of that period. My own view is that it was between the 3rd International Meeting at London, and the 1956 Stockholm meeting, the first of the European series , that the foundations of the approaches we now take to the characterisation of a material using the TEM were laid down. (This was 10 years before I took dynamical theory to be etched in stone.) It was at the 1956 meeting that Menter showed lattice resolution images of sodium faujasite and Hirsch, Home and Whelan showed images of dislocations in the XlVth session on “metallography and other industrial applications”. I have always incidentally been delighted by the way the latter authors misinterpreted astonishingly clear thickness fringes in a beaten (”) foil of Al as being contrast due to “large strains”, an error which they corrected with admirable rapidity as the theory developed. At the London meeting the research described covered a broad range of approaches, including many that are only now being rediscovered as worth further effort: however such is the power of “the image” to persuade that the above two papers set trends which influence, perhaps too strongly, the approaches we take now. Menter was clear that the way the planes in his image tended to be curved was associated with the imaging conditions rather than with lattice strains, and yet it now seems to be common practice to assume that the dots in an “atomic resolution image” can faithfully represent the variations in atomic spacing at a localised defect. Even when the more reasonable approach is taken of matching the image details with a computed simulation for an assumed model, the non-uniqueness of the interpreted fit seems to be rather rarely appreciated. Hirsch et al., on the other hand, made a point of using their images to get numerical data on characteristics of the specimen they examined, such as its dislocation density, which would not be expected to be influenced by uncertainties in the contrast. Nonetheless the trends were set with microscope manufacturers producing higher and higher resolution microscopes, while the blind faith of the users in the image produced as being a near directly interpretable representation of reality seems to have increased rather than been generally questioned. But if we want to test structural models we need numbers and it is the analogue to digital conversion of the information in the image which is required.

A rationale for the application of a stage process model for the language-disordered child is presented. The major behaviors of the communicative system (pragmatic-semantic-syntactic-phonological) are summarized and organized in stages from pre-linguistic to the adult level. The article provides clinicians with guidelines, based on complexity, for the content and sequencing of communicative behaviors to be used in planning remedial programs.
