    The Myth of Creation in William Blake's The Four Zoas
    European Journal of Theology and Philosophy 1 (3): 37-42. 2021.
    Northrop Frye knows the cyclic version of creation myth in his reading of The Four Zoas according to which the human lives in heaven unified with God, unfallen state; he then falls and loses the harmony had with God, fallen state; and he should restore the previous unfallen state in Apocalypse or Last Judgment.

    Unconditional Forgiveness in Derrida
    Journal for the Study of Religions and Ideologies 14 (41): 79-95. 2015.
    Jacques Derrida’s ethics generates a vision of what the community of nations, states, people is and should be beyond a separation made by what he calls ‘interest’ by which he means that the human interiorizes everything outside himself in order to con­figure a self. For Derrida, forgiveness must not be in the service of any finality such as spiritual, social, national, psychological, and political orientation, since these are reconciliation for the sake of other goals rather than for­giveness.

    The Imagination: Distance and Relation in Maurice Blanchot and Ibn'Arabi
    Journal for the Study of Religions and Ideologies 13 (38): 57-77. 2014.
    Blanchot discusses two versions of imagination. The first version, as the copy of an object, is premeditated or provoked by the conscious process of the mind, whereas in the second version, of the image, a thing becomes a complete empty space outside human consciousness and finds the opportunity to shine itself in itself and for itself. The object never resembles anything but itself, the image of itself. This paper argues that with Blanchot, the human in confrontation with the thing in itself in…Read more
