TO THE SCIENTIFIC COMPONENT OF A DELIBERATELY UNSCIENTIFIC PICTURE OF THE WORLD

TO THE SCIENTIFIC COMPONENT OF A DELIBERATELY UNSCIENTIFIC PICTURE OF THE WORLD

Abstract

The article offers an analysis of a fairy tale from The Arabian Nights as an example of the possibility of identifying a specific picture of the world that this text contains. The presence in the fairy tale of a picture of the world that can be considered as scientific one is due to the fact that the picture of the world is based on a certain understanding of the law, it can provide some information about the legal and social orientation of that time (Islamic law during the Mamluk Sultanate in Egypt), and the possibility of establishing the main ontological foundations of the perception of the world of that time. The peculiarity of Islamic law allows us to consider it as a science that connects the social world with the general structure of the universe. Analysis shows that this understanding of the universe sees direct causal connections between the material (and social) world and the higher world (God). These worlds form a single space, although their unity is not accessible to direct contemplation. This tale was probably created with the aim of asserting a certain ideology. The main purpose of such a text is to establish the view that the executive institutions of the Mamluk Sultanate act in full accordance with Islamic law and the will of God. Behind the supposedly ordinary criminal plot unfolds an attempt by the authority to establish its legitimacy by proving the fact that its executive apparatus acts in accordance with the will of higher powers.

Стаття пропонує аналіз казки зі збірки 1001 ночі як приклад можливості виокремлення специфічної картини світу, яку цей текст містить. Наявність у тексті казки картини світу, яка може вважатися науковою, обумовлена тим фактом, що така картина світу заснована на певному праворозумінні, вона може дати певну інформацію про правову та соціальну орієнтацію того часу (ісламське право часів мамлюцького султанату у Єгипті), що веде до можливості встановити основні онтологічні засади сприйняття світу того часу. Особливість ісламського права дозволяє розглядати його як науку, яка поєднує соціальний світ із загальним устроєм всесвіту. Аналіз показує, що тогочасне розуміння всесвіту вбачає прямі причинні зв’язки між матеріальним (і соціальним) світом та вищим світом (Богом). Ці світи утворюють єдиний простір, хоча їхня єдність не доступна безпосередньому спогляданню. Казка, вірогідно, створена з метою затвердження певної ідеології. Головна мета такого тексту полягає в поширенні погляду, що виконавчі інститути мамлюцького султанату діють в повній узгодженості з ісламським правом та волею Бога. За нібито звичним кримінальним сюжетом розгортається намагання влади затвердити свою легітимність через доведення того факту, що її виконавчі органи діють відповідно до волі вищих сил.
