La pensée de Sofyali Bâlî Efendî, un soufi turc Khalwatî du XVIème siècle (son siècle, sa tarîqa, sa vie et sa pensée mystico-théologique)
No full textNotre thèse tente de comprendre les œuvres d un auteur soufi turc du XVIème siècle Sofyalı Bâlî Efendî qui fait partie à la fois à la confrérie khalwatîe et à l école d Ibn Arabî et de les analyser pour percevoir sa pensée mystique. La thèse contient trois parties principales : historique, doctrinale et annexe. La partie historique : elle consiste à étudier le milieu, la confrérie et la vie de l auteur pour pouvoir comprendre mieux la partie doctrinale. La partie doctrinale : elle consiste à étudier la pensée mystique et théologique de l auteur. Pour rédiger cette partie, nous avons ouvert trois sections : le soufisme théorique de l auteur, son soufisme pratique et sa conception théologique. Nous avons traité deux sujets principaux dans le chapitre du soufisme théorique de notre auteur : Dieu et Homme parfait. Nous avons établi la partie du soufisme pratique de notre auteur en étudiant les Sept stades qui expose l évolution soufie d après le système khalwatî. Nous avons aussi abordé quelques éléments du soufisme pratique par lesquels nous avons voulu ouvrir un débat sur les éléments de la psychologie soufie. Nous avons réalisé la partie théologique de notre thèse en traitant ses idées au sujet de la théologie musulmane. L auteur admet la conception d Ibn Arabî au sujet du destin de l homme ; le décret divin ne s effectue que par l exigence de l essence de l homme, car c est son exemplaire éternel, ayn thâbita, qui le dirige. Annexe : Nous avons étudié en annexe les trois traités attribués à notre auteur. Nous avons résumé les contenus de ces trois traités pour identifier les vrais auteurs. Nous avons su identifier l auteur du troisième traité, mais nous n avons pas pu identifier les auteurs de deux autres traités. Bâlî Efendî reste un auteur probable pour ces deux ouvrages.This thesis aims at understanding the writings of a 16th century Turkish author named Sofyali Bâlî Efendî who belonged both to the Khalwatîe brotherhood and the Ibn Arabî school, and to analyse these in order to discern the mystical aspects of his thinking. Three major parts form the thesis: the historical one, the doctrinal one and the appendix. The historical part: consists in studying the social and temporal context, the nature of the brotherhood, and the author s life, which will lead to a better understanding of the doctrinal part. The doctrinal part: consists in studying the mystical and theological thinking of the author in order to place his ideas into the history of Sufism. Three aspects have been covered in the writing of this part: the author s theoretical Sufism, his practical Sufism and his theological conceptions. Two major subjects relating to the author s theoretical Sufism have been treated: God and the Perfect Man. The part relating to the author s practical Sufism has been covered by studying the seven stages which presents the Sufi evolution according to the Khalwatî system. A few elements of practical Sufism have been approached through which a debate on the elements of Sufi psychology can be opened. The theological part of the thesis emerges from a reflection on his ideas pertaining to Moslem theology subjects. The author fundamentally admits Ibn Arabî s conception regarding the realization of man s destiny; the divine law of destiny solely results from the demands of man s essence, because it is his eternal specimen, ayn thâbita, which guides him. Appendix: The three treatises allotted to the author have been studied in the appendix. The contents of these three treatises have been summed up in a quest to identify the true authors. The identity of the author of the third treatise has been identified. Unfortunately it hasn t been possible to identify the authors of the two other treatises. Bâlî Efendî remains a possible author for these two works.PARIS-EPHE-Sciences religieuses (751052336) / SudocSudocFranceF
The development of the Sufi Self according to Mustafa Kamal al-Din Bakri
No full textIn this article, we studied how the Sufi Self develops according to Mustafa Kamal al-Din Bakri (m. 1162/1749), a prominent sufi who was raised under the Khalwatiyya-Shabaniyya tradition. The development of the sufi self relates to the transformation of the person's inner life through climbing spiritual stages of sufi life and their influence on the person's identity and personality. In the introduction, we briefly studied self-development according to psychology and sufism, then analyzed the notion of self-development according to our author. The sufi's view of sufi self-development is being considered under three major aspects: the relationship between exoterism and esoterism, struggles and Sufi exercises, relationship between guide and disciple. We started by studying the relationship between exoterism and esoterism in order to focus on the balance between inner life and outer life, then came the importance of struggling and practicing exercises in order to reach this balance and finally the relationship between the guide and the disciple travelling together on their quest to fulfill the spiritual journey. With this study and by analyzing the subject of Sufi self-development through these three topics, we aimed at contributing to clarify sufi psychology within the frame of spiritual psychology
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
The Problem of Coexistence of Different Islamic Identities and Suggestions for Solution an Entrance in Terms of Sufi Psychology
No full textThe existence of different religious identities in various forms in Islamic world is a legacy that Islamic history leaves to the contemporary societies. In other words, these religious identities cause the problem of living together of different religious groups in Islamic societies, but they can also lead to the problem of 'othering' as well. In this case, it can be difficult to make social reconciliation and live together in the framework of general religious values. When any religious thought and opinion desires to come to a leading position to feel safe, other thoughts and opinions tend to react to it. The main problem at that point seems to be whether to accept different thoughts as a richness or not. This research looks for answers to the question of what should be done so that the differences that sects and groups in Islamic societies create, do not lead to political discrepancies. The most basic issue that the work is emphasize is that the principles of belief, deed and morality of Islamic religion has been determined by revelation, and these principles have not changed over time. However, the relations between these principles, the issue of which principle is ahead of the other and which principles should be brought forward in the new situations have caused to raise different opinions and the predecessor scholars ( Salaf) propounded diverse ideas and thoughts to this issue. In later periods, different interpretations were added due to new events happening indoors and new beliefs and cultures encountered outside, and so new trends and understandings emerged. The currents and understandings generated by the mentioned interpretations continue their existence today in different forms and even new currents can occur. This work also emphasizes that these differences of interpretation -on the condition that the religious constancies do not move from place-should be accepted as wealth and should not lead to political separation in this way. For this, we underlined the need to live together around general religious values by emphasizing the fact that different religious groups must live together. In the work it is alleged that the lifestyle of the Sufi tradition can help us on this subject
Transmutation of the Self according to Ebu'l-Hasan al-Harakani
No full textSufi psychology is a new area of research dealing with the attitude and the behavior of the sufis. While studying the developments of human psychology focusing on human attitudes and behavior as well as their origins in the human body, we had the opportunity to study those of the sufi from a psychological perspective. When it comes to modern psychology, we studied the integrity of the self, also known as 'self realization' by observing the characteristics of someone who has attained a certain degree of perfection, in addition to this we have worked on certain methods and theories pertaining to the development of the personality. Sufism has built its own theory of the personality based on its own methods which aim at studying the basic characteristics of the spiritual evolution of the human being. Modern psychology also examines pathological human behavior and comes up with adequate therapies so as to readjust these behaviors accordingly. Likewise, sufism has an interest in inadequate human behavior - in the words of sufism 'the vices of the soul' - it also aims at readjusting these types of behavior but from a spiritual point of view. In these writings, we will be studying the transmutation of the sufi self according to the classical era sufi Ebu'lHasan al-Harakani and we will examine the two aspects of that transmutation: the psychological one and the psycho-spiritual one
The Sufi Psychology And Sadr Al-Din Qunawi: The Fundamental Principles of Construction of Sufi Identity
No full textWith its spiritual dimension and by focusing on the attitude and behaviour of sufis, sufi psychology will benefit modern psychology. In the past, dealing with mental health and with the evolution of the human personality was left to spiritual and religious disciplines, but today these issues are reserved to psychologists and psychiatrists. Some of them have started to seek inspiration within spiritual and religious realms in an effort to apply that knowledge to their practice. They show specific interest towards sufi literature and bring sufi practices and knowledge into their own therapeutic practices. In this article, we have examined the fundamental bases of the evolution of the sufi personality according to Sadr al-Din Qunawi, a 13th century sufi from the Ibn 'Arabi tradition. We have tried to study the metaphysical and psychological bases of the structure of the sufi personality and their effects on human attitudes and behavior
The Spritual Personality of Hadji Bayram Wali and His Psycho-Social Influence
Get PDFIt is an undeniable fact that sufi life causes one to gain a spritual personality. Therefore it is important to examine the characters and identities of notable figures with great spiritual personality. By what features these figures attain an influential position in terms of their individual and social life is a crucial question to answer. With regard to this issue some essential principles concerning the sufi life emerge. This article discusses the basic principles forming the spiritual personality of Hadji Bayram Wali, a prominent sufi whose spiritual influence in his era as well as the subsequent eras is noticeable, and deals with his influence concerning the pscyho-social terms. In other words, we examine the essential features constructing the spiritual personality of Hadji Bayram Wali and how these features have influence upon the society and approach to the subject in the context of sufi psychology
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
