Structuralism and Post-Structuralism examines the key ideas of structuralism and post-structuralism. Structuralism views elements of culture as having meaning only in how they relate to an underlying system or structure. It rejects ideas as divine and sees them as produced by socio-economic forces. Post-structuralism emerged in response, arguing that any structure is itself a center that imposes meaning, and that texts have multiple meanings without reference to structure. The document also discusses how some Muslim scholars applied structuralist ideas to understanding concepts like the structure of the Quran.

Structuralism was the first school of psychology and focused on breaking down mental processes into the most basic components. Researchers tried to understand the basic elements of consciousness using a method known as introspection. Wilhelm Wundt, founder of the first psychology lab, is often associated with this school of thought despite the fact that it was his student Edward B. Titchener who first coined the term to describe this school of thought.
Functionalism formed as a reaction to the structuralism and was heavily influenced by the work of William James and the evolutionary theory of Charles Darwin. Functionalists sought to explain the mental processes in a more systematic and accurate manner. Rather than focusing on the elements of consciousness, functionalists focused on the purpose of consciousness and behavior. Functionalism also emphasized individual differences, which had a profound impact on education.
There are many different ways of thinking about human behavior. Psychologists utilize a variety of perspectives when studying how people think, feel, and behave.
Some researchers focus on one specific perspective, such as the biological perspective, while others take a more eclectic approach that incorporates multiple points of view.
There is no single perspective that is "better" than another;
each simply emphasizes different aspects of human behavior.

Man and Creativity: A Contrastive Analysis between Western and Islamic Psycho...mohd abbas abdul razak
Among all creations of God living on this planet, Man is the most intelligent,
innovative and creative. Imbued with these qualities, Man was able to plan, create and
recreate new things using the resources available in the environment. Man’s position as
God’s best creation and as the recipient of the creative intelligence from his Creator has
further advanced him in mastering science and technology. As a result of his advancement
in knowledge and science in one way or another has ushered Man into creating
great civilizations. While the discussion goes on as to whether Man’s creativity is an
inborn or a learned behaviour, this paper intends to explore and analyze some of the
existing concepts of human creativity found in Western and Islamic psychologies. Very
particularly, the researchers would like to examine the concept of creativity put forward
by Freudian Psychoanalysis, Behaviorists, Humanistic and Islamic psychologies. It is
expected that the findings of this research can motivate mankind to be more dynamic
and productive in bringing the much needed positive change to the present world conditions.

In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.

Structuralism
“An interdisciplinary approach that rejects all ontological (study of the
being ) and epistemological (study of knowledge) sources of
meaning in favor of an anti-metaphysical approach that claims that all
humanistic topic searches are the pre-exist human consciousness.”
So the elements of culture must be understood in terms of their
relationship to a main system or "structure."
5. Page 5
Classical Parameters
• All ideas and things are divine rather than
man made. These are timeless in nature.
Ontology and
Pluto:
• Ideas are not divine, but produced by the
structure of socio-economic forces.
Ontology and
Marks:
• Subject conscious is the source of ideas.
(Theory of ego)
Cant and
epistemology:
• Conscious is produced by unconscious. So
ego is produced by deep structure which is
source of meanings and truth.

Synchronic Observation
He argued to observe
'synchronically' rather than
'diachronically'. He believes
that ideas are not divine;
these are manmade so a sign
provides only an arbitrary
linkage between signified and
signifier. Langue is the
structure of language and
parole is it basic element.

Modern Structuralism
Psychology was a branch
of philosophy until the
1870s. Structuralism
was the first school of
new psychology. It
focused to find the most
basic elements using a
method known as
introspection.
Essentially, it was the
study of how we think
and feel the way we do

Quran
ALMASANI = Binary oppositions
Text of Quran has only one meaning,
which could be determined by the
context, as exactly in structuralism.
He uses the method of TADABAR to
understand the meanings of Quran,
which is similar to introspection.

Barthes argued that any literary
text has multiple meanings,
without the reference of any
structure. He rejects the idea
of a literary text having a
single purpose.

In Binary oppositions one entity is not depend
on the other.
Experimental introspection is very much special,
so it is not reliable.

is to investigate the function, or purpose, of
consciousness rather than its structure
