Fatalism in Systematic Aspect and Fatalism in its Functional ContextReligions are often thought to help human beings to adjust themselves to the realities of life, to give them an understanding of what happens – i.e. to enable them to relate in some way to what they regard as their fate or destiny. This volume strives to analyse attitudes towards destiny in a systematic way, focusing on the interrelation of fatalism with other aspects of faith and belief in several religious traditions.
Some of the articles show how the alternatives God, fate, and chance overlap in a series of blended forms. Other texts focus on the spectrum of beliefs regarding destiny and their place in different religions: ranging from a feeling of total dependence to the proud conviction that man is the architect of his own fortune, from pessimistic resignation to heroic defiance or positive acceptance of one’s fate.
The volume is based on papers read at the Symposium on Fatalistic Beliefs held at Åbo on the 7th-9th of September, 1964. Ed. by Helmer Ringgren. Stockholm : Almqvist & Wiksell, 1967.ei tietoa saavutettavuudest
Islamic fatalism
Get PDFThe author sketches the historical background, then the teaching of the Koran, and finally, the development of the typical Islamic fatalism. The fatalism of Islam has to be viewed against the background of the ideas of pre-Islamic Arabia. Unfortunately, there is no other evidence from this epoch that a few poems on a very restricted range of topics which have been able to survive Islamic censure. The conventional and stereotyped character of these poems makes it difficult to decide to what extent they reflect commonly accepted views or the ideas of a certain group. In any case, they present a picture of the pagan Arab which is extremely idealized and formed after a rigid pattern. Historically speaking, Islamic 'fatalism' is the result of a combination of pre-Islamic fatalism and Muhammad's belief in God's omnipotence. From another point of view it is an interpretation of destiny that expresses man's feeling of total dependence, not on an impersonal power or universal order, but on an omnipotent God
The problems of syncretism
No full textThat which happens when two religions meet is obviously different from case to case. It is possible for two "organized" religions to exist side by side for centuries without any exchange taking place. But otherwise, we are obviously moving along a continuum, the one pole of which is the repression of one of the two religions, the other a complete fusion of them. From another point of view, the results of syncretism may be grouped according to the degree in which the foreign elements are felt as essential or less essential. On this broad definition, the topic before us is vast. As a matter of fact few religions are totally "pure" or homogeneous and free from elements of syncretism or traces of an encounter with other religions
