Duality of Nature

Hello Readers, 

Welcome to my blog. Here I am describing the fact and duality of nature that can represent in this blog."Nature" of nature always changeable that can proved by the cycling  of nature, some changes in to the weather that responsible for the destruction and creation of nature elements. So here, I put may opinion about nature and how it works in  human life and also negatively it effects human life.

■ perspective to look upon Nature:-

In this picture represent it reality of nature is if I am close my eyes and  Imagine the nature at that time I just only see the absolutely a perfect natural capture of the earth I can never imagine in the other side of nature but it is in existence.

So, nature is far far away as we find at all. It has different kind of shades to present the reality. 

      " In nature nothing is perfect and everything is perfect

 "

Nature is a valuable thing and we can include trees, water, air and animal, Birds and also human beings. Human beings is a payrt of the nature some like and mostly connected with it, also it provide the fresh air and atmosphere. Nature have a no any limitations because it we find in a far far away surrounding us. 

Nature always change with the time in a seasons and it gives a newness at all time  in winter, summer and monsoon. It present its Beauty with the different kind of element those who are feel loneliness, they are most of connected with the nature. May they can feel never as they are alone because its give a piece of mind and fresh ideas. 

Different kind of flowers and its beauty Scenic attraction with the beautiful smell.  It includes beauty in the nature and if human are in  existence. It is only because of nature without this it can't be possible to human existence on the earth. So if anything is going wrong in nature then we find the reaction of nature. 

Nature has two kind of part as positive and negative, whereas as above it has a positive side. Usually everything has it dual side as have nature in negative way something is dangerous and unexpected then it has  harmful effects for all.

Here, some aspects of nature that can plays a wider roll to destroyed everything as of Tsunami, Typhoon, Earthquake, flood,  conflagration which is negative side of nature. 

Thank you...

Paper No. :- Literary  Theory and Criticism : Western poetics-1

Topic :- Plato's objection to poetry and Aristotle's Reply

■ Plato's objection to poetry  :- 

               

                                

      

              Plato was a well-known philosopher and critic, teacher of Aristotle and student of Socrates in middle of B.C.E in Athens Greece and mostly influenced by his teachers Socrates usually Plato uses his own philosophy in his writing and raised question against ancient writing and other variety of things.He himself as a great poet and born to be having dramatic qualities.

              Although, in Literature philosopher has highest value as such has Plato but he  attacks on the idea of mimesis that means imitation.  He raised questions against how they are writing on illusions  and it leads people in the wrong direction because they have own imitation in different perspective to see the nature.

It's far away from reality because plato gives more importance to the truth and reality not to illusion. As  perspective of moralist of find the moral ideas and things that deals with the reality and gives truthful image of world. 

               Nonetheless, poet constantly uses the illusion and imitation of nature that is not actually based on the moral ideas but it relates to the falsehood. Plato said that poetry is immoral and further defined as philosophy is far more better than the poetry, art persist with the illusion and that appears in an imitation of an imitation in  Plato's theory of mimesis.

But Plato fails to explain about art also gives more than the absent in actual.Whereas, he elaborate ideas of truth of philosophy and given more importance to philosophy rather than the pleasure of poetry.

               If art being the imitation at that time actual meaning is removed from truth. Constantly it gives likeness of a thing concrete, it is always less than the real. Artist doesn't simply reflect the real image and the idea of ultimate reality it given in his work "Republic".

Things are called up as ideas that before they take practical shapes.  So, here ideas is real or original but the thing is copy from that an idea. 

■ Plato's three objection to poetry :- 

  Plato given three major objections to poetry,  there is no philosophical,ethical and pragmatic from Plato's point of view all art is imitated by nature also imitation of everybody's life. So, here given one example of carpenter and chair, chair is is an idea that come out from the mind of carpenter and therefore that Idea applied in physical shape out of wood created and the chair.

But when we focus on the point of view painter at that moment his idea twice different from reality, first painter imitated the image of chair by carpenter in his picture of the chair. 

Ethical	Poetry is not ethical because it emboldens undesirable passion.
Philosophical	It is not philosophical only because it cannot based on true knowledge and it depends upon illusion.
Pragmatic	Poetry is not pragmatic because it has no educational value and inferior to the practical art

Is primary objective is that in the Republic is to come out with the righteous way to live life and also convince people to live in that way further consider poetry as a means of achieving state and it helps a lot to be a better person. 

In Republic plato's poetry is overwhelmingly negative,  Plato's main concern about the impressionable reading the false stories,  people cannot judge what is real or what is literal. The imitation of reality is not bad in itself but without reason and understanding applied  the imitation is bad.

He felt that the poetry is like an inferior part of the soul that irrational and emotional cowardly part.If read the poetry at that time they entice into the undesirable emotions. 

poetry provide needless lamentation and imagery events of sorrow and happiness. it destroys the balance of courage and thought and it is weaker part of the Constitution of soul therefore it has no healthy function or a constitution whereas it cannot be called a good poetry. 

To him drama isn't easy form but it most dangerous of literature authors contain the imitating thing that anyone doesn't understand. There is no use of strong and meaningful words in dramas that make it unhealthy so, the use of words you should enough to condemned drama. 

Plato felt that words are Evil derived from source that faculty of understanding of poetry it make a confusion to understand the truth behind the words.

Another plato's objection on portraying the male dominance or female exploitation. people would be against that view, it should not the way in which the words work all have to try to keep literature from the children because of the children should grow with the good virtues and moral ideas.

poetry have a power to spoil the minds of children and it leads to their in a wrong way from the positiveness to negativity.   provoke the negativity in children's thoughts. Plato doesn't wants that literature corrupt the mind but he wants that display image of beauty and the grace of literature.

■ Plato's three perspective of objection to poetry :- 

Here, Plato uses the objection to poetry from a different point of view that represent  the poetry works and in which way ? as given below.

1. Educational point of view:-

In the book  of Plato's "The Republic" Book - 2, he condemned much poetry on the basis of constitution of  fostering evil habits and contain of vices in poetry that comes in to the children. Plato believes that don't teach the literature or poetry to the children.

When the protagonist or heroes of epics were part of the epics and they had no virtues and also immoral,  that's why character has vices as cunningness, cruelty, disloyalty and also uses the violence. Even gods were not as good as they have.

For example in Tory-Achilles, he beheading Apollo's statue and insulted God , sometimes God's fights among themselves and fights with one another, whereas in other myth Ahalya-Indra, Narad's obsession to marry and Kunti's children myth from Mahabharata, furthermore Hera's jealousy - frenzy to kill children also in Bible the curse of God to Eve and Adam. 

Plato believes that future guardians to regard that the quarreling among themselves as like all the things that are basest so, one soul uses the word of war in heaven and god and no one who should be against the rules. It is all not true but it's supposed to be an allegorical meaning or not.  

2.  philosophical points of view :- 

In "The Republic" Book - x poetry should not lead to us in better ways but it drives away from the realization of the ultimate reality and the truth. As discuss about  philosophy, he felt that philosophy is more better than the poetry only because of poetry not give real charm or truthfulness as philosophy.

It also twice removed the original ideas.  The maker or imitator never make true existence of image. He focused on appearances only.

3. Moral point of view:- 

In the same book of Plato's "The Republic" in finding that soul of man that derives and it has higher principles of reason. Lower importance of constitution of poetry is based on impulse and whatever they encourages and strengthens the principles of rationality,  but emotion is bad. Poetry should nourishes the baser of man - emotions and sentiments. 

Just only imitative poet has the aim to be a popular not be by a nature made so all art is intended by imitation it affected to rational principles poetry feeds and water instead of passion drying them up and controlled. They are preferred passionate and fitful temper.  

■ Aristotle's Reply to the Plato's objection to poetry 

Plato's objection on poetry that's why Aristotle replied to the charges of Plato on poetry and made arguments for the defence of art and literature. Art is not just imitation as Plato said but it different from truth.  Plato says likeness of things in concrete and less than time. We find in the Thinking of Plato and also before the judge to him we should understand the time. 

Aristotle argues that Plato failed to understand the art because it is more than that actual absent in. Therefore artists not reflected  the real manner of a mirror. Art is not the imitation of reality it something different. It provides far fetched images and different perspectives.

Literature is not reproduction of life as photography in all its   totality. But some actions, events and characters represent the artist's purpose. The artistic creation not creation in correct way.

Plato again said that art is bad and doesn't teach morality, does not give inspirational virtue and it based on falsehood. Function of poetry provides the aesthetic delight, emotions and representations of life.

R.A.Scott-James truly  elaborate that

      “But though he (Poet) creates something less than that reality, he also creates something more. He puts an idea into it. He put his perception into it. He gives us his intuition of certain distinctive and essential qualities.”

Paper No. :-  Neo classical Literature - 2

Topic :- Military Technology and the politics of Robinson Crusoe

Friday's knowledge of military instruments 

"As for the gun it self, he would not so much as touch it in for several days after; but would speak to it, eat and talk to eat as if it had answer'd him when he was by himself which as I afterwards learned him was to design it not to kill him"

In the Robinson Crusoe we we find that the Crusoe would teach everything to Friday and Friday also understand easily whatever Crusoe teach him as they like. Friday understand the how to shoot the gun and prove.Friday also known about gun better than the Crusoe does in some scenes of the novel. we find that Ideal of character so innocent about the gun how its working. 

Sometimes Cruises power over on Friday and down the civility and virtual. So constantly Friday accepted all the things whatever has done by Crusoe. 

Therefore, disavowal violence throughout the novel that all the apps are called in the novel as a pre colonial setting in Africa. Although Crusoe with Friday at  Caribbean Island. There were colonial encounter use of technology, technological power by Crusoe.

 Daniel Defoe uses Crusoe as a master and he has the power to do everything with Friday.  Here in the novel Friday portrayed as a marginalised character, and Crusoe is dominant person idea of politics it operation by the violence and ideology of British.  liberty and violence in the novel also Crusoe's all the weapons are represented cruelty, violence and welfare that fundamental movement in novel. There were also many scholars locate a cat in the life of Daniel for that also fine throughout the novel of Robinson Crusoe. The significance of that violence and it provides a clear picture of British.

This part of the novel probably connected with 17th century.  where French and British are fighting to cultivated land and also appear as Robinson Crusoe, and Friday. whereas it portrayed the Britain's defense of management of colonies and plantations

Violence and Imperialism

Some of the Scholars are connected the novel and pointed out some specific way of expressing the things through the use of its represent the violence of its colonial setting.

 it is relates to the imperialism increase by human beings. it is reflected in the political orientation that relates to sympathy with royalism. some other connections of novel with colonial violence and some British politics.

Defoe's novel deals with encounter with nature that contractual therefore Defoe tries to cultivate the relationship with the Friday on the Island. Friday is also simple and transitional face and some upheavals of novel that strongly emphasized Iceland as a cultural and political contact with text Robinson Crusoe and unexpected violence that occurs on the stranger Island.

Politics Relationship with the colonialism 

Of course,  Robinson Crusoe's colonialism a synecdochal way that reflects the relationship of politics. When Daniel Defoe wrote his first novel light occupation at the time asked the question about politics institutions that post a similar question. when we read Robinson Crusoe in that introduced Friday into the novel and in the kingdom of Crusoe as miniature military operation.

Friday derives  the idea of political and military enemies;  when Crusoe save the life of Friday at that moment whether to align himself with an alien to go with Crusoe. In the world hand of Crusoe images and other hand Friday to a man who bombed with such kind of powerful devices.

 It displays the force you to take a decision how it more difficult for him at first. It has a mysterious kind of Technology in his mind and he doesn't know the power of Technology instrument yet he tries to use that powerful Technology. The scene of Daniel defoe's novel in the gun investigate a kind of colonial aspect that relates to Sovereignty.

Superiority and power of Technology 

Robinson Crusoe exploit idea of British political orders that basic based on law and concept that origin recovers the idea of violence in instantly it reflect in the novel. 

At that time, especially violence is one sided.  Britishers are gives more important to superior power  of Technology. Daniel Defoe write a novel like allegory with the Britishers because the portrait the power of Technology as it simultaneous displays a violence and military technology. Crusoe's muskets and pistols at present exploration of violence take place in British political order.  

gunpowder working with mysterious power Crusoe encounter with the various kind of savage that conscious of the person that gun is very much positive to them and constantly technological power over his relationships with Africans in caribs.

Moment of civilization

 Although, violence at a time of Civilization and sovereignty with the logic and other several points in the  text. In the particular scene, Friday blindly followed the all order of crusoe.

Fridays relationship with that suggest the recognises limits of Cruises benignity that reflects the knowledge of facilitated his letter expression. Whereas technologies power for his own ends  the authority of crucifers that shows read deploying violence of Crusoe colonial sovereignty that's of chain in the novel therefore the 17 century is typically. 

To understood as connected with the war and longest issues of political and certain problems of Liberty always the question raised and conquest continued  to exit pressure.

Many of question seems about the novel it it has a number of events that questioning on the decades of preceding Robinson Crusoe in highlighted so many issues of power military liberty and Sovereignty that's why comes out some radical charges on Whig Charles.

Conclusion 

Robinson Crusoe translates the text into postcolonial contexts.The violence and the liberation prominent in the character of Friday's first appearance in the novel that simultaneously derives from British politics.
