Editorial; Periodization and Historicization سرمقاله

خلاصه ماشینی:

Awareness of historical situatedness and belief in human constructs created within the context of numerous relationships, which the more experienced humanity has become, the less it has been able to find order and system for human interactions and actions, has had various consequences; on the one hand, humans have realized their practical and theoretical limitations and sought realism, so that they have abandoned grand and infinite ambitions based on certain large teachings or unattainable ideals, and on the other hand, they have realized that although in many matters around them it initially seems that they are free and perform voluntary actions, sometimes the conflict of choices and wills – to some extent – free that come together in the form of human societies narrow the field for them, so that although numerous matters facing humanity are depicted as constructed and historical discussions, at the same time there are conditions that lead humanity to the conclusion that despite claiming to build and create, relationships have emerged in which they have not been involved in their creation and construction. What is most evident at first glance is the belief, and indeed the confession, of the enslavement of humans and human societies to the bonds of the past, whose effects have extended from previous eras to the context of today's events; that is, the same thought and discourse that is called historicism, whose concern is to connect every matter in the present time to an issue in the past, which its theorists consider as roots, origins, or things of this kind, and then insist that for a better and of course deeper and more accurate understanding of phenomena, one must certainly look for the aforementioned lineage and root in the corners of past history.
