Silsilat Al-Anwar comes to us in this issue titled "Anthropologies and Ontologies"

Perhaps we may encompass contemporaneity... While the human being searches for themselves, searches within themselves, they create contemplations about and within themselves. Their creation about themselves is called anthropology, while their creation within themselves is called ontology. Anthropology means the human—the science of the human—whereas ontology is concerned with the human in terms of encompassing them. Encompassing is a relationship of inclusion and a "will to power." The latter is a search for the human being as a value and practice (praxis), and a differentiated identity standing against allied inhibitions—its blood running through the veins of the life of the Self and the Other as a possibility for utterance in their citizenship, a belief in the power of embedding the body within writing, text, and history, and caring for the complexities of difference in realizing possibilities and aspirations...

The body is open, the text is an opening, and writing is a beginning and an inauguration... Breaths blown by the Anthropos as an expression of the self to articulate what lies within the pockets of the Ontos of experiences, truths... and possibilities. Utterance between the two is an isthmus (barzakh), action is practice (praxis), and here, there, and what is beyond are circulation, recognition, and ethics. Joining the two sisters—anthropology and ontology—and loving contemporaneity become two searches, where the most arduous is a question: drawing near and fading away. The power of philosophizing and wonder are a stillness within moving time... freedom. Contemporaneity is a gathering of self-contradiction and tolerance within the spaces of secularization, ethics, justice, and fascination with ways of living along the paths of art and education to maintain survival together and interact smoothly... safely.

Otherness stems from the premises of childhood, innocence, and the game of dice within the emergences of heritage—spoken by a survival aimed toward the better... extraordinary breakthroughs for the sake of understanding and its misunderstanding, perhaps to disown the human past through interpretation, duality, unification... multiplication... and wiping the horizons with a wet sponge where the Anthropoi meets the heritage-Ontos at the crossroads of curses and the expanse of spaces... an opening to mend the fractures in the geometry of times and eras.

These are wounds and collapses... variations of time in pursuit of the demand for contemporaneity, and impersonations of crossed-out metaphors. The self is courted between what it means and what is meant by it, with Leistung (release/unfolding) as the third element between them—an illumination and a gentle light toward contemporaneity, spoken in rustling whispers.
