Love or the Metaphysical Nucleus of the Balance of Differences in Dževad Karahasan’s Novel “The Eastern Diwan“

Summary/Abstract: Although the criminalistic genre which flirts with the human mind convincing him in his omnipotence and his omniscience dominates in the novel “The Eastern Diwan“, the theme of love also appears in it, intimately interconnected with the esoteric islamic Orient, descretely but with a great semantic compression. In this novel love is a phenomenon that opposes the criminalistic genre, it shows to this omniscientic mind the reference of the other on the way of knowledge and it points out at the weakness of one human being’s self–realisation without this other. Therefore this novel is also a novel about love, but not the kind of love that the western literature even today entrusts to the final accomplishment of the internal instinct whose power is sublimised through the eros, but the love that surpasses the eros and lives in the sublime metaphysical space imune to language. Since differenciality is the basic relation of mutuality and the community is the arbitrary relation in which differences are present, love, that appears in The Eastern Diwan as a metaphysical tranquility, will be written down with extreme beauty of the language exactly through the mutuality of the different and it will almost arrive to its substantial fulfilment and writing down of itself, and then it will stop in the place where literature starts to speak loudly with its silence.
