الله.. ابن ضعف الإنسان" عن التجديف من أجل فرح الوجود في شعر نزيه أبو عفش"
GOD .. SON OF HUMAN WEAKNESS". ON BLASPHEMY FOR THE JOY OF EXISTENCE IN THE POETRY OF NAZĪH ʾABŪ ʿAFASH

Summary/Abstract: This article addresses the phenomenon of blasphemy in the poetry of the Syrian poet Nazīh ʼAbū ʼAfash (born 1946) as part of his attempt to replace secular existential alternatives that transcend the religious propositions of absenteeism and introduce a new knowledge system that changes the profile of human existence for the better. The in-depth textual reading of this article reveals that the poet used blasphemy and the denial of God to criticize human moral behavior, which, as for ʼAbū ʼAfash, led to the destruction of this world. This article is based on the fact that ʼAbū ʼAfash is a rebellious poet who rejects religious moral values completely and calls for a secular ethical system based on the natural and ex-existence of God's existence in human existence, according to ʼAbū ʼAfash. In addition to the textual analysis of ʼAbū ʼAfash's poems, which refers to blasphemy and dialogue with God on the basis of equality, this article traces the intertextuality of the Christian and biblical religious heritage that ʼAbū ʼAfash employs to establish his alternative existential secular values.
