Abstract

The historical narrative of Western intellectual development often obscures the profound contributions of Islamic philosophy, frequently reducing the Islamic Golden Age to a mere preservation period for Hellenistic thought. This research aims to re-evaluate the specific mechanisms and depth of Islamic influence on the Western intellectual tradition, specifically during the Scholastic revolution. A qualitative historical-philosophical design was employed, utilizing hermeneutic analysis and diachronic mapping of primary Arabic texts and their subsequent Latin translations. Findings reveal that Muslim polymaths like Ibn Sina and Ibn Rushd were not passive conduits but original innovators who provided the metaphysical and logical scaffolding for Western Scholasticism. The study identifies a systematic “transcultural synthesis” where Islamic rationalism fundamentally restructured European epistemology, particularly regarding the distinction between essence and existence and the development of empirical methodologies. This research concludes that the Western philosophical canon is a hybrid construct deeply rooted in Islamic intellectual labor, necessitating a decolonized approach to the history of ideas. Recognizing this shared heritage challenges Eurocentric biases and promotes a more inclusive understanding of global human progress.

Abstract

Psychological resilience is a crucial factor in overcoming challenges and maintaining mental well-being, particularly in the face of adversity. Recent research suggests that gratitude practices may enhance resilience by fostering positive emotions, reducing stress, and improving overall psychological health. However, the specific mechanisms through which gratitude influences resilience remain underexplored. This study aims to examine the role of gratitude practices in enhancing psychological resilience. The research explores how regular engagement in gratitude exercises can improve individuals' ability to cope with stress and adapt to difficult situations. A mixed-methods approach was employed, combining quantitative surveys and qualitative interviews. Data were collected from 250 participants, with a focus on measuring gratitude levels, psychological resilience, and stress responses before and after a 4-week gratitude intervention. The Gratitude Questionnaire (GQ-6) and the Resilience Scale for Adults (RSA) were used to assess participants' emotional well-being and resilience. The findings indicated that participants who engaged in gratitude practices reported significantly higher levels of psychological resilience, as well as lower stress levels, compared to those who did not. Gratitude was shown to increase positive emotions and enhance adaptive coping strategies in stressful situations. This study concludes that gratitude practices are effective in enhancing psychological resilience.
