Abstract

In all types of literature, dreams and related phenomena are among the most important foundations of poets and writers, which have been viewed from different angles. In most cases, Rumi does not express his message naturally and is based on a structure based on linguistic habits and the Sufi system of thought. The dream is also intertwined in Rumichr's mind with a multifaceted attitude and finds a different manifestation every moment. In this research, with a descriptive-analytical method and a library method, by examining Rumichr's lyric poems and Levinaschr's book "From Existence to Existence", the concept of a night owl and sleep aversion from the perspective of Rumi and Emmanuel Levinas from the perspective of the American school has been studied. The results of the study suggest that both thinkers believe that drowsiness is one of the first features in the course and behavior and the basis of movement. The invitation of Rumi and Levinas is an invitation to go beyond the situation of a captive human being in the world and to abandon theoretical customs and to engage in true conduct with the help of true awakening and to address the "other". Levinas substitutes another God for an infinite position, and in the opinion of another Rumi, the same is the beloved, and Shams in the position of the beloved is for Rumi a mixture of earthly and heavenly attributes and is similar to what Levinas says about another

Abstract

In this article, it will be shown that philosophers/theoreticians of justice, such as John Rawls, are engaged in a kind of performative contradiction, since despite their implicit call for justice, their mere academic activities in developing a theory of justice, does not really help the cause of justice in society. Then by referring to thoughts of Heidegger, Levinas, and Nietzsche, among others, it will be shown that although the struggle to achieve social justice is necessary and has the highest priority, it is an impossible task; and yet human beings are existentially obliged to engage in this unavoidable task.  Finally, it will be shown as why this "task of social justice" will be best achieved as, what could be called, "authentic development" or horizontal development at the bottom, and playing chess with the powers that be.  In defining "authentic development," it will be compared with what Denis Goulet calls by the same name; where he defines the desired development with its results, rather than its process.
