Key Features of the Book:
The book Geometry of Religious Studies is an innovative work in the field of Islamic sciences, addressing for the first time the relationship between comprehensiveness, specialization, and devotion in Islamic studies. It presents a cohesive theoretical framework for understanding and advancing religious sciences based on the intellectual system of Allameh Hassan Zadeh Amoli. The key features of this work include:
First Work on the Relationship of Comprehensiveness, Specialization, and Devotion: This book is the first systematic study to explore the relationship between comprehensiveness, specialization, and devotion in Islamic sciences, offering a novel framework for this topic.
Innovative Theory: The theory presented in the book introduces a new approach to religious studies and Islamic sciences, paving the way for rethinking this field.
Emergence of Islamic Sciences from the Holy Quran: The theory demonstrates that Islamic sciences originate from the Holy Quran, proving their fluidity as an inherent characteristic.
Integration of Religious Sciences: Through concrete examples, the book establishes the coherence and integration of religious sciences.
New Classification of Islamic Sciences: The theory distinguishes between knowledge, general information, and specialization, defining knowledge and mastery as key criteria for learning in Islamic sciences.
Interpretation of the Logic of Revelation and the Language of Guardianship: The theory analyzes the layers of religious studies, deeming some aspects impossible without alignment with the prophets and infallible Imams, while interpreting the logic of revelation and the language of guardianship.
Ijtihad as a Prerequisite for Religious Research: The book defines the nature of ijtihad and considers it a necessary condition for research in religious sciences.
Possibility of Combining Specialization, Devotion, and Comprehensiveness: For the first time, the theory shows that specialization and devotion are possible within the framework of comprehensiveness, attributing the progress of religious knowledge to comprehensive scholars like Allameh Hassan Zadeh Amoli, and considering these three aspects compatible.
Four Journeys of Religious Studies: The theory conceptualizes the geometry of religious studies through four conceptual journeys, as follows:
First Journey: From the Quran to Islamic Sciences
Second Journey: From Islamic Sciences to Unified Islamic Knowledge
Third Journey: From Unified Islamic Knowledge to the Quran
Fourth Journey: From the Holy Quran to the Essence of the Quran
Additional Details:
The book Geometry of Religious Studies builds on the intellectual system of Allameh Hassan Zadeh Amoli, a distinguished scholar known as "Master of Multiple Disciplines" due to his comprehensive expertise in various fields (jurisprudence, philosophy, mysticism, mathematics, astronomy, and literature). The book reinterprets and elucidates religious sciences, offering a methodical path for researchers and religious scholars through the concept of the "Four Journeys of Religious Studies." This work is a valuable and groundbreaking resource for researchers in Islamic sciences, theology students, and those interested in the philosophy of religion and Allameh Hassan Zadeh Amoli’s intellectual system.
