Abstract

The research aims to unveil the penetration of Social Darwinism into the poetry of Al Husain Ibn Mutair Al Asadi, who witnessed Bani Umayyad civilisation and familiarised with the approach of Bani Alabbas. Social Darwinism with its materialistic practices, unjustified etiquette and random elections permitted the thought of the poet to penetrate the sanctity of the Arabic language revival. Therefore, it called for adoption of the concept of God abandonment to validate its desire to the birth of a supernatural biological human that can control the universe and differentiate between good and evil. Darwinism energies the racism memory and permits all unjustified oppression which assures the existence of a powerful. It is obvious that the social Darwinism is social disorder that Arab human had undergone through different centuries and had been expressed consciously and unconsciously by the poets. This is what provoked Al Husain to inherit the new generations the structural thoughts that urge to the adoption of betrayal in the collective imaginary and enhance the abundance of social solidarity that secure language progression and stability. It also led Al Husain to kill the concept of mercy and incited him to eliminate it form his poetry as well as from the Arabic language. However, it aimed to uproot human from all virtues and values by following Chaos theory based on deterministic law and hidden pattern. Apparently, Al Husain comprehended the Chaos theory approach as a fundamental mean to humanity progress and to beneficial flow of the Arabic language which was embodied in his poetry.
