Abstract

In this paper, the author attempts to talk about the truth and objectivity of propositions in practical philosophy through a comparative method and the investigation of the philosophical principles of Kant and Mulla Sadra so as to feature the significance of the standards of the Transcendent Philosophy and investigates the view of both philosophers. It is also an investigation of Kant's refusal of presence as a genuine predicate, from one perspective, and Mulla Sadra's affirmation and exhibition of such predicates, on the other.

Abstract

This paper traces Foucault’s notion of power in Kate Chopin’s The Awakening. The writers bring into the light, different aspects of a woman’s position in the society of late nineteenth-century America. Paper looks at private and social conditions of women, using Foucault’s ideology of power, and discuss the reactions of Chopin’s protagonist in relation to her actions towards the workings of power in her life. With a close analysis of the novel based on Foucault’s ideology of power, researchers discuss the workings of power in the protagonist’s married and social life, including her efforts to set herself free from this power and her process of resistance analyzed according to Foucault’s theory. The research comes to the conclusion that the impossibility of acting outside power, the possibility of resisting power from within and Foucault’s “Care of the self” as the only way to traverse the power-defined failed of possible actions. Paper shows that, Chopin’s protagonist does not resist patriarchy based on Foucault’s methods and her actions towards power do not lead to any effective ending.
