Naturalism, Its Types, and Dimensions
Abstract
Abstract
The word “فطرت” (Fitrat) is derived from an Arabic word “فطر” (Fitir), which means "to create". And the one who creates is called “فاطر” (Faatir). The English analogue for “فطرت” is "Nature", which is derived from the Roman word "Natura". "Natura" is an alternative to the Greek word "Physis", which means birth, commencement, natural composition or to come into being. There are multiple literal translations of the word “فطرت” (Nature) such as Nature, birth, creation, universe, being, instinct, temperament, attitude etc. The “فطرت” is explained as the natural existence of universe and naturally coming into being of things which are created and nurtured and whose creation is above the human capacity. For example, the sun, moon and the stars etc. which the man can rejoice but cannot alter according to his will and the man has no part in the creation of nature. The nature apparently is the natural reflections present in the external human world, which have been there in different forms even before the birth of mankind. And by observing them, humans experienced wonder, curiosity, whims, fear, joy and the desire to know even though they did not contribute to the creation of this entire cosmos. Hence, the oceans, rivers, mountains, trees, flowers, animals and birds, all are the various forms of natural marvel. The human himself is an example of natural creation. This research paper explores concepts related to naturalism and its different types, and dimensions.
