نزيه أبو عفش والمتمرد الميتافيزيقي: بين الجدلية مع الله ونقد الأخلاقيات الإنسانية

In this article, Bawardi examines the relationship between the texts of the Syrian poet, Nazih Abu Afash, (b. 1946) and the concept of God, religious texts and the philosophical, social, political, and existential circles represented by the divine being. Bawardi argues that the highly critical dialogue which Afash conducts with God stems from the metaphysical rejection of the philosophy of rebellion favored by the existentialist thinkers, Albert Camus (1913-1960). In this article's introduction to the Arab culture, which is the contradiction between the sacred culture, religious practices and dogmatic and theological axioms. In his questions regarding the relationship between modern Arabic poetry and the issue of the divine, Bawardi deals with a number of key issues concerning the development in conflict with the traditional views of Arab society: religious, moral, patriarchal, or dominant culture. Abu Afsh's critique of divine providence is essentially a critique of human ethics and the erroneous behavioral and moral practices which, he claims, have led to the deterioration of the world and of human values. The solution, for Abu Afash, lies in abandoning both religious and non-religious beliefs and reverting to primordial nature, the nature of pre-divine creation. (from the article)
