Abstract

This study offers a Platonic analysis of “The Man He Killed” by Thomas Hardy, examining the moral paradoxes of war through the lens of Plato’s Tripartite Theory of the Soul or Moral Psychology. The research investigates how the poem’s speaker experiences internal conflict among reason (logistikon), spirit (thymoeides), and appetite (epithymia), highlighting the psychological fragmentation caused by war. The objective is to explore how Hardy uses irony, everyday language, and flawed reasoning to question the ethical excuses people make for violence and to highlight deeper philosophical issues about justice and moral responsibility. Using a qualitative interpretive method grounded in Platonic moral philosophy, the study finds that war disrupts the soul’s harmony, illustrating how individuals may act against rational moral instincts due to social duty, honor, and economic coercion. These insights deepen the understanding of Hardy’s anti-war message and support Sustainable Development Goals 16 (Peace, Justice, and Strong Institutions) and 4 (Quality Education) by promoting ethical reflection and peace education through literature. Ultimately, the study underscores how poetic language can serve as a powerful medium for exposing moral contradictions and fostering critical engagement with issues of violence and justice.

Abstract

This study investigates how Indigenous languages serve as vehicles for cultural preservation by examining the Blaan and Manobo languages through an ethnolinguistic lens, with particular attention to their syntactic and semantic structures. Employing a qualitative approach, the research conducted detailed textual analyses of traditional songs, proverbs, and oral narratives to uncover linguistic patterns that encode cultural values, social norms, and communal knowledge. Findings reveal that both languages predominantly exhibit a Subject-Verb-Object (SVO) word order, with songs employing simpler sentence structures to facilitate memorability and communal performance, while proverbs utilize more complex syntactic constructions to convey nuanced moral and ethical lessons. Analysis further highlights the central role of divine and communal forces in shaping cultural narratives, demonstrating that language functions as a medium for transmitting knowledge, regulating social behavior, and sustaining the interconnected relationship among society, nature, and spiritual beliefs. Beyond linguistic structure, the study underscores the broader significance of Indigenous language preservation for educational inclusion, empowerment of marginalized communities, and alignment with Sustainable Development Goals, particularly SDG 4 (Quality Education) and SDG 10 (Reduced Inequalities). The research advocates for future investigations into community-led language revitalization initiatives and the strategic use of digital technologies to support the documentation, teaching, and continued vitality of Indigenous languages, reinforcing their role as critical instruments for identity, knowledge transmission, and social equity.
