Avicenna and the resurrection of the bodyJaffer, Tariq. January 1998 (has links)
The intention of this project is to explicate several arguments advanced in the esoteric treatise Al-Risalah al-Ad&dotbelow;h&dotbelow;awiyya fi amr al-Macad, Avicenna's treatise par excellence on the subject of resurrection. This study of Ad&dotbelow;h&dotbelow;awiyya is primarily exegetical and limits itself to ideas which grant Ad&dotbelow;h&dotbelow;awiyya a character of its own. Consequently, the scholastic demonstrations Ad&dotbelow;h&dotbelow;awiyya shares in common with Avicenna's other writings are left aside. / Ad&dotbelow;h&dotbelow;awiyya contains a number of arguments, for example those directed against the mutakallimun, which cannot be found elsewhere in Avicenna's writings. It also presents two purely psychological demonstrations for the immateriality---and hence immortality---of the rational soul. Finally, Ad&dotbelow;h&dotbelow;awiyya explicitly describes the states of the souls in the hereafter, and reveals the principle upon which Avicenna founds his doctrine of al-macad.

Barnlitteraturens tekniklandskap : En didaktisk vandring från Nils Holgersson till Pettson och Findus / Technology Landscapes in Children’s Literature : A Didactic Journey from Nils Holgersson to Pettson and FindusAxell, Cecilia January 2015 (has links)
Syftet med denna studie är att utifrån ett didaktiskt perspektiv undersöka budskap om teknik i ett urval svenska skönlitterära barnböcker samt undersöka hur berättelsernas tekniksyner förhåller sig till deras natur- respektive framtidssyn. Analyserna grundar sig på sex svenska författares skönlitterära barnböcker: Selma Lagerlöf, Otto Witt, Elsa Beskow, Karl-Aage Schwartzkopf, Sven Wernström och Sven Nordqvist. Dessa böcker innehåller frågeställningar och problematiker som i dag anses betydelsefulla och relevanta inom teknikens didaktik. Studien har tre analytiska perspektiv: att identifiera tekniken som finns representerad i barnböckerna, att undersöka barnböckernas tekniksyner i förhållande till natur och framtid samt att finna gemensamma och särskiljande teman berättelserna emellan. Analyserna visar att de olika tekniksynerna i barnböckerna är mångfacetterade. Hur tekniken gestaltas kan delas in i sex övergripande teman: tekniken som metafor eller liknelse, som antropomorf, som autonom, som resultat av kreativ drivkraft, männens teknik samt som icke tidsbunden. Det förekommer också olika syn på teknik och dess inverkan på såväl individ som samhälle. Natursynen som dominerar kan beskrivas som svagt antropocentrisk och en majoritet av berättelserna förmedlar bilden av det effektiva framtidssamhället där tekniken löser människans problem. En slutsats är att barnlitteraturens tekniklandskap kan bidra till att både vidga och fördjupa det teknikdidaktiska perspektivet. Det ambivalenta budskapet i böckerna gör att teknikens mångskiftande natur lyfts fram samt problematiseras på ett sätt som läroböcker sällan gör. Skönlitterära barnböcker skulle därför kunna fungera som utgångspunkter för didaktiska diskussioner om teknikens natur samt dess inverkan på människa, samhälle och natur i såväl nutid som dåtid. / The aim of this study is to examine, from a didactic perspective, messages conveyed about technology (view of technology) in a selection of Swedish children’s books containing elements of technology education, and to explore how these views of technology relate to nature and futures perspectives. The analysis is based on children’s books by six Swedish authors: Selma Lagerlöf, Otto Witt, Elsa Beskow, Karl-Aage Schwartzkopf, Sven Wernström and Sven Nordqvist. These books contain depictions of technology, but also depict issues and problems relevant in the field of technology education. The study has three analytical perspectives: the identification of technologies represented in the books; interpretation of the views of technology transmitted in the stories in relation to nature and futures perspectives; and identification of shared and divergent themes in the stories. The analysis shows that in general, the books present technology in diverse ways. Various facets of technology appear in the material and these are categorized into six themes: technology as metaphor or analogy; as anthropomorphic; as autonomous; technology as a result of a creative driving force; masculine technology; and technology as enduring. There are also different views of technology and its impact on individuals as well as society. The dominant view of nature in the books is weak anthropocentric and a majority of the stories convey the image of an effective future society in which technology solves human problems. A conclusion is that the technology landscapes in children’s fiction could contribute to broadening technology education. The ambivalent messages in these books reveal technology’s multifaceted nature and its complexity. The messages in children’s literature could also make it possible to problematize the nature of technology in ways that textbooks seldom can. Children’s fiction could thereby be jumping boards for creative discussions about the nature of technology, and technology’s effects on individuals, society and nature in past and present time. / <p><strong>The published thesis is the second edition.</strong> <em>Minor changes has been made in the second edition such as correcting grammatical errors, correcting a footnote, missing letters and two missing references.</em></p>
