Mursel Al-Ajmi on criticism shifts
The article discusses the activities of the inaugural evening of the "Oasis of Thought and Creativity" program held at the Kuwait National Library. The event focused on the transformations and history of literary criticism, as well as a journey through the history of philosophy from myth to reason. The lectures, which continued until July 28, were presented by a distinguished group of academics. The first lecture reviewed theories of literary criticism and their historical developments, emphasizing the roles of the author, the text, and the reader in shaping a literary work. The second lecture examined the origins and evolution of philosophy, from interpreting myth to rational thinking, highlighting that the shift from myth to reason was a gradual progression in human consciousness, with Greek philosophy marking a significant milestone in this modernization. It was also emphasized that a literary text is celebrated when it encounters the reader as a work of art, and that philosophy evolved through a cumulative process of knowledge and cultural development throughout history.
