Percepcja teologiczno-religijnych struktur wyznaniowych a naturalna kreatywna dyspozycja człowieka: perspektywa islamu

Abstract

The Muslim tradition brought secondary and sectarian literature on upfront and made its followers paralyzed by the confines of theological structures deactivating any human potentials bestowed upon them. Any attempt for aesthetic and artistic creativity expressing human emotional capacity could be easily condemned and banned for being against the Sharia law. Thus, human life becomes a subject of thorough surveillance under the light of sectarian, secondary and tertiary, narratives. This dilemma creates a conflict between the dynamic human powers of creativity and historically accumulated mindsets. This paper aims at investigating instances of this tension and finding some alternative responses to the problems it poses.
