About this video
In the fifth session of Ebrahim Sahafi's lecture series titled 'The Theoretical Framework of Javad Tabatabai,' Aslan Ali Abbasi speaks with Sahafi about the importance of text and tradition in the thought of Seyyed Javad Tabatabai and the differences between text and tradition in various civilizational domains. In his analysis of Iranian political thought, Tabatabai assigns a special place to the concept of text and tradition and reinterprets it in relation to other civilizations.
In this conversation, Sahafi elucidates the role of text and tradition in Tabatabai's theoretical framework and demonstrates how differences in understanding these two concepts across various civilizational domains influence the formation of political thought and the possibility of modernity. The discussion of the relationship between text and history, the place of tradition in Iranian-Islamic civilization, and its comparison with other civilizational domains are among the main themes of this session.
For those interested in political philosophy, civilizational studies, and contemporary Iranian thought, this conversation offers an opportunity to become acquainted with one of the fundamental concepts of Tabatabai's theory and to find a new horizon for understanding Iran's relationship with tradition and modernity.
