This paper is an attempt to examine Kant’s critical philosophy, in particular his Critique of Pure Reason from a Nietzschean point of view. Nietzsche interrogates all metaphysical systems since Plato to Kant and Hegel and criticizesall philosophersandphilosophical systems. First, Nietzsche’s objection to the entire history of philosophy and, then, his criticisms of Kant are addressed.
According to Nietzsche, Kant led philosophy to death by reducing it to epistemology. Nietzsche believes that philosophy is meaning creation and a sort of law making. According to his perspectivism, Nietzsche questionsKant’s Copernican Revolution and challenges apriori judgment, time, space, and categories as well as noumena and phenomena distinction

What is the final form of Kant's moral philosophy? is his moral system tough, firm and inflexible as it is famous and does the eighteenth-century German philosopher discard purpose and happiness in the path of his moral behavior? How can we apply Kantian ethics in everyday life? These are some questions formulated in this article and on the basis of Allen Wood's interpretation of Kant's moral system , we will suggest some answers which are very different to the current opinion on Kant's ethics. The precise picture of Kant's ethics must be drawn on the neglected book, entitled Metaphysic of Morals, and the End has an important place in it. In practice, Kant preferred the second formula in which a human being is an end in itself. In contrast with the general opinion, Kant's main solution is not the test of generalizability and the deductions derived from the universal law formula. Similarly , the love for charity and interest in helping others, do not only impede Ethics, but also foster it.

Justice is one of the fundamental concepts that various schools of thought have paid special attention to. John Rawls, a leading philosopher of ethics and politics in the field of Western political thought, is one of the thinkers who tried to think about justice. Political and social events in the United States, in the realm of the world and in the War of Independence, Rawlsaraba raised the question of what factors have led a country like the United States to an unjust and aggressive system in the world. These preoccupations strengthened his will to formulate an influential theory of political thought. The essence of Rawls's thought in the theory of justice has four key elements: Moral intuitionism is a mental experiment, the main state and freedom. His Theory of Justice is a reflection of his view of justice as fairness and political justice, in which justice as fairness, legal freedom, and the concept of distributive justice are discussed. Rawls's justice is rooted in St. Kant's. Therefore, it emphasizes the moral concept of justice and finally reaches political justice under criticism in a turn. The main question in this study is what factors have contributed to the formation of John Rawls' theory of justice? And the hypothesis is that her philosophical justice system, philosophy of ethics, Kant's theory of social contract, and Hegel's philosophy of law contributed to the formation of her theory of political justice, influential critiques, political radicals, and socialists.(feminine)

cultural translation is a translation that adaptsthe text message and the source culture to the target culture. Such a translation often increases and decreases and is not a verbal translation. In cultural translation, the translator transcends the meaning of the material, the context, and the context of the source, paying attention to the specifics and requirements of the coordinates of the target culture for the transfer of concepts and even intellectual experiences. According to the common terminology of the Islamic tradition, the cultural translation of European philosophy and thought requires a kind of ijtihād. this process requires prerequisites such as mastering the spirit of culture and thought of origin on the other hand, and paying attention to the capacities and specifications of the target culture on the other. We can not claim that Foroughi, in the Seyr-e Hekmat dar Oroupa (Development of wisdom in Europe), has all the preconditions and requirements for cultural translation. In his work and his mind, it can be argued that the development of wisdom in Europe is beyond mere mechanical translation and is somewhat in the midst of the cultural translation of Western philosophy and thought in Persian and Iranian culture.

In the present article, the authors aim to study Karl Raymond Popper's theory of democracy and evaluate its philosophical and epistemological foundations. The importance of this discussion lies in showing the logical relation of and consistency between Popper's scientific-philosopher principles and doctrines inferred from them on the one hand and his model of democracy on the other. Thus, the authors try, employing a descriptive-analytic methodology, to describe and explain foundations and goals of democracy and its distinct theoretical components on the basis of Popper's theoretical suppositions. Finding of the present study show that Popper has ingeniously based his political epistemological understandings on his own scientific and philosophical principles, and extended their contents to cover democracy.

Berlin, by emphasizing on Incommensurability and Incomparability of ethical values defends a kind of value pluralism. He believes that there are no general categories and common criterions to judge with in morality and therefore there is no way to determine and evaluate the right actions from the wrong ones. On the other hand it seems that relativism also, by refusing any objectivity in ethics, and by emphasizing the lack of general standards for judgment rejects moral monism, and by relaying on differences between cultures, attains to common borders with pluralism. But Berlin tries to separate his own valve pluralism from relativism. In first half of this article we will SURVEY Berlin's value pluralism and in the second half it will be shown that Berlin's efforts for distancing from relativism is not so successful.

Nietzsche points out that these are the outputs of metaphysical theological thinking and that the ultimate outcome of these worldviews is despair, hopelessness and disappointment which results in nihilism. The history of Western thought, as Nietzsche believes, has been full of hostility and hatred towards life as if life is the enemy of thinking, and human salvation requires disengaging oneself from life. Nietzschean affirmation as the alternative of Western thought has a smiling face which is a key component of his thinking. This point of view is rooted in life affirmation, desire towards life and the joyful wisdom. This joyfulness is due to the self-command and the pleasure of will to power and the privilege of having the maximum power which is realized in Nietzsche’s Übermensch. Übermensch reconciles with the past, affirms the present, constructs the future through the bridge of affirmation, and realizes all entities, the self, his fate and predestination through eagerness towards eternal return. Health in Nietzsche’s view is a kind of joyful living, in contrast to metaphysical thinking syndrome, and its full form is realized in the burst of powers and smile figure, which means smiling to life, to the time and place, and this is a Dionysian smile.

Banknotes are social and semantic texts with the power of visual impact, which governments have often used to achieve cultural and political hegemony. The main purpose of this paper is to analyze the relationship between the visual structure of dollar bills and the social context of the United States community and to examine how social developments in US history have affected changes in the structure of dollar bills. The social semiotics approach of Kress and Van Leeuwen is the basis of this descriptive-analytical study. The documentary and qualitative data of this research were collected by the purposive sampling method. According to this analysis results, the dollars represent only the face of white male politicians, and the most representation belongs to persons affiliated with the Republican Party. The common symbols and design of the dollars have changed little over the last century, indicating policymakers’ emphasis on building a stable picture of the country’s economic system. The framing of politicians’ images on old banknotes reflects their distance and distinction from their audiences, but in newer dollars, these frames have been deliberately removed to represent a sense of closeness to the people. This change represents that banknote illustrators are following the social developments.

In Nietzsche works, Christianity is considered as a prominent instance of the slave morality, since it takes weakness as human power and brightness. For a Christian, a good man is a humble and good-wishing one. Nietzsche considers each and every moral system of this kind as Christian morality and criticizes many moral principles accepted by the modern world under this title. He thinks that Judaism has played such an important role in man's decline that he takes it [Judaism] as a symbol of values of lower species as compared to higher human beings. According to him, conflict between two value systems is a historical conflict which, in spite of historical victory of the declined and lower species, is still continuing. On the other hand, "morality" and "values" in the modern world may be considered as his most important intellectual concern. In the modern world in which the foundations of metaphysics become unstable (of which Nietzsche speaks as God's death), foundations of traditional morality and values become unstable as well, since the ruling morality introduces its own values as instructions issued by a lofty and meta-natural source. Now that the supra-natural has been invalidated, moral values are dissolving as well, and man faces the crisis of nihilism. Under such circumstances, Nietzsche claims for creation of new values. The questions discussed in the present article are "what is the nature of moral values whose death has come and where is their source? And, in the light of which point, the morality by Nietzsche, will appear?"

Skepticism consists of the possibility of the falsity of most of statements we suppose to be true. This possibility is shown by arguments such as Descartes’ dreaming, evil demon and the brain in vat arguments. Having developed the idea of radical interpretation, Donald Davidson has argued in a number of his papers that the possibility of language and communication shows we cannot be mistaken about the world around us, and consequently sceptical doubts about our knowledge are misplaced. According to him, the very nature of language and the accompanying phenomenon, that is belief, imply the connection between speaker’s and interpreter’s beliefs and the external world. This connection implies the truth of much of our beliefs. In the first step, Davidson shows the agreement between the speaker and the interpreter. In the second step, by resorting to the arguments of omniscient interpreter and radical interpretation, he argues that this agreement corresponds to the external world. This paper concludes that the first argument is incomplete but defends the second one against objections and criticisms

The present study shows that how Michel Foucault is inclined to the art of self-invention in his final works through referring to some enlightenment doctrines. Reviewing basic concepts of enlightenment in late Foucault's works is along with a new understanding on the part of Kant and Subject. By placing aesthetic theories regarding to the self in the text of enlightenment thinking, Foucault shows that not only he doesn't ignore enlightenment values (on the contrary to his previous works), but also addresses restructuring some of these concepts. Such enlightenment reflects itself in that ethics implying rapport à soi. The formation of such ethics is possible with the help of Foucault's research regarding ethics in Greece and Rome from the one hand, and referring to Nietzsche as well as Charles Baudelaire's doctrines from the other. The ethics in ancient world is seeking to offer a method to nurture creativity, which faces them with their presence at first, and then the self in order to think in another way and change their life; i.e, to create themselves. Baudelaire, too, interprets being modern as creativity and dynamicity and believes that the person's life should be concomitant to self- invention and change like an artistic work. Our objective in the present study is to investigate an aspect of Foucault is thinking that has less been attended to which is invention and beautiful living.

Wittgenstein, in his early philosophy, regards philosophy as critique of Language, and the aim of tractatus is to draw limits to thoughts, to what is sayable vs unsayable(showable), in other words science vs ethics. And the latter is more important to him. Such aiming for philosophy is very similar to Kant's. The main question of this research article is whether Wittgenstein is also under influence of Kant in ethics or not. Whether he repeats Kant’s second question in another words or not. To answer it, we will start with I or subject, and will, then proceed to ethics and the mystical.

Many expressed definition on «orientalism», including the western concept is the ambiguity of the term with negative connotations, especially in relation to the colonization of Europe, is verifiable. Edward Said's efforts for demystification of it, something of this complexity did not reduce, but anti-Western discourse, became the focus of the review. Emphasizing the contrast between the East (Asia) and the West (West), the distance between the subject and the fact that it creates in the mind of the researcher, the distance that making false image of the subject. Change this term in this subject, it is a sign of Western approach and unfortunately these changes by critics, especially Muslims, are ignored. Ignoring the role of time in the definition, especially in the field of Islamic studies in the West, the conflict affected and frozen concept to cash drag has more depth differences. This paper attempts to investigate ways of making the term «orientalism» in European culture, or territory of its applications, our understanding of the East, the East evolution of Western thought and cooperation of Muslims, Islamic studies, to modern challenges and paradigm shift east of the deal. At the end of the East empathetic, by enumerating the factors that have brought.

In John Locke's thought, through an active function, the mind synthesizes sensible and successive forms acquired by internal and external senses; and, makes scientific (mental) objects against external ones. In this way, it finds quidditive concepts of objects. Then, the power of understanding selects some common ideas which concern some similar object, and introduces them as essentials of such objects, and thus as their "types". According to this view, components of types are selected by us and they are, therefore, products of selection and mind's contract. On the contrary, according to Kant, the mind is merely abstracting the final and pure forms of objects or their types and genera. According to this approach, reflective judgment, in a complete action and far from a priori concepts and principles of understanding, reflects upon types of objects, and unites objects and a lot of laws of experience through abstracting types and genera. This position, according to which such universal forms are fully mental and non-cognitive and ascribed to the supersensible substrate of nature or nature in itself, is a realist one; and, it is, therefore, against Locke's contractualism; though neither Locke's contractualism nor Kant's realism is described in an extremist way. The present writing seeks to describe the opposite positions of the two philosophers concerning the mind's contribution in acquisition of types.

To use Castell’s theory could be suitable to analyze this kind of movement. Then to explain fundamentalism we use Zahed practical - theoretical model in social movements. This model is applied to three fundamentalist movements in Christianity, Islam and Judaism (Christian Zionism, Al Ghedeh and Gush Emunim). Finally we find some similar points among them.

To understand Hegel’s thought we need to recognize concepts he used explicitly or implicitly. Political economy as a science that he himself was looking at its inflorescence is an area that he profit from its achievements and also developed his ideas in light of it. The end of this paper is to show that how we can compare Hegel’s historical studies and the concept of ‘the cunning of reason’ with the methods of economics and some of its elements like ‘the invisible hand’: or how the presupposition of free act of individuals relate to a key concept in Hegel; ‘subjectivity’. Also we discuss about the relation between state’s economical duties in Hegel’s thought and the foundations of political economy, and finally about this that on the basis of Hegel’s thought to some extent we can defense free market.

In "My Way into Phenomenology" Heidegger mentions Braig's " On Being : Outline of Ontology " in the same respect which he refers to Brentano's book on Aristotle and Husserl's " Logical Investigations"(GA14:92)[1]. He also refers to the decisive and therefore ineffable influence on his later academic career that came from Braig- the professor of systematic theology and the last in the tradition of the speculative school of Tübingen which gave significance and scope to Catholic theology through its dialogue with Hegel and Schelling. Fifty years later than his first encounter with Braig in 1909, Heidegger Praises Braig's " penetrating kind of thinking "and " knack of turning ideas into the living present"(Ibid:82). However, Braig's influence on Heidegger is not emphasized proper way. This article intends to concentrate on this issue in three sections: a. in approaching to philosophical tradition, b. in content of thought and c. in style of writing.

The industrial revolution was accompanied by great social changes in Western societies. Italso produced changes in non-Western societies. Since industrialization was a Western phenomenon, the reactions of non-Western societies to these changes were different from thoseofWesternsocieties.While some Western products were welcomed, others were rejected by these societies. The process of introduction of Western cultural elements into traditional societies that came about as a result of cultural diffusion decided the quantity as well as the quality of the future social changes. Therefore, in the present research, the reactions of Iranians to Western cultural products are examined. Ample data were collected using qualitative research method and employing documentary sources and deep interviews regarding reactions to Western cultural elements. The findings indicated positive and negative reactions to Western cultural products in Iran. The positive reactions consistedof amazement, infatuation, and acceptance. The negative reactions consisted of initial confusion, ridicule, spreading rumors, pretending acceptance, forbidding and declaring unlawful, open protest and employment of violence, and calling for revolution. The researchers believe that acceptance and rejection depended upon whether the alien element was material or nonmaterial, imposed or freely chosen, was introduced gradually or rapidly, and opposed the cultural values or not.

The problem with which we will deal in this paper is to realize the relation and the connection between Kant’s philosophy of law, and his understanding of human being as a cosmopolitan being, or a citizen of the world on the one hand and moral will on the other hand. The philosophy of Kant has the enough capacity to be the philosophical foundation for sustainable peace plan. Kant's philosophy distinguishes the private rights from public rights and discusses them separately. Private right is limited to property. Ownership is one of Human freedoms but not an absolute one in Kant's philosophy of law. Ownership is usually belongs to the objects in social system, but people have also been the subject of ownership.Public right in Kant's philosophical system is divided into three categories: government right, the national right, and the international rights. To justify the right of private international law, one should begin from private rights which in Kant's critical philosophy are rooted in ethics. Individual freedom is a natural right by which the social state is made naturally, and accordingly the civilization appropriate to human beings, would be realizable

Along with composing the Iliad, the Odyssey, and the Works and Days, Homer and Hesiod did not only create everlasting works, but they rhymed such a mythical world from which Greek culture emerged and flourished. For this reason, Greeks did not consider their poets and especially these two poets as mere their artists but moreover, saw them as their mentors. Thus, it is necessary to have a comprehensive understanding of their mythical world and its essential concepts in order to grasp the Greek culture in general and its literature and philosophy in particular. The purpose of this paper is to examine these concepts to clear that on what conception of relation between god and human, the Greek culture and thought was shaped.

Each these faculties belong to source of cognition of nomothetic of faculty under itself, namely understanding, reason and judgment. Also each these faculties though in respect of employment are different other faculties. But the principle that gives unity all of them, link to each other. Kant wants relation between undrestanding and reason justifies by judgment and its basic principle, namely finality. We show in this paper with respect to role that principle performs in kant's thought, we can not spot cognitive faculties of human as independent island but we should confirm accretion them anyhow

Rereading the Webber’s works and going beyond Parsons’ interpretation of Weber, Nietzschean aspects in his approach toward modernity are revealed, such that it leads to the promotion of his function as the mediator between Nietzsche and critical approach of postmodern figures such as Lyotard and Foucault. To verify this hypothesis, firstly, we need to have criterion to assessing the similarities and differences of Weber, Lyotard and Foucault. Secondly, the appropriate method for the application of that criterion is needed. The assessment criterion or theoretical framework of this article is Taylor’s three malaises and the method of the application of this criterion, is Lovejoy’s history of ideas. Based on this theoretical framework or method, four unit-ideas are selected as the elements of these three thinkers. Findings of this research indicate that the unit- ideas of ‘instrumentalism’, ‘value- differentiation’ and ‘cultural integrity’ and ‘autonomy’ are prominent in the thought of Weber, Lyotard and Foucault respectively.

Because of hybrid nature of language, it has conceptual and existential aspects. Ideas of Socrates caused conceptual aspect to be focused on and the existential one neglected. In Heidegger and Niche’s view, neglect of the relation between phsysis and logos and forgetting the role of language in emerging the existence and it’s inability to adapt with becoming of the existence, caused the essence of existential aspect to be obsolesced; and through degrading the subject from ontology to epistemology by Kant, needed ground for the supremacy of conceptual language was provided. This process was accelerated through submitting the theory of Formal language caused this process to enter a new stage which led to accepting Gestell like an inevitable fate that was the result of need of human in this context . Nietzsche and Heidegger find a solution in this era of hardship. They try to provide a situation in which another type of human and universe appear via attention to existential language and revival of ontological thought against the virtual type which has predestined conceptual language and antique thought.

To revive man's values which were lost in the Medieval Age under hierarchical despotism of the Church, the humanist movement in the European Renaissance found the golden age of ancient Greece as the best example for dignation of man. To design the western modernity, it made many uses of mythical literature, and, influenced by the Greek myths, shaped the humanist foundations of the modern West. The present article, will trace some humanist aspects (epistemology, psychology, and theology) of the western modernity back in myths.
