In the fourth session of Ebrahim Sahafi's lecture series titled 'Javad Tabatabai's Theoretical Apparatus', Aslan Ali Abbasi talks with Sahafi about the significance of Tabatabai's theories in ijtihad for Iran's problem and laying the foundations of a new philosophy. By analyzing the decline of political thought and Iran's relationship with modernity, Tabatabai has provided a ground for rethinking the country's fundamental issues.
In this conversation, Sahafi explains the role of Tabatabai's theory in enabling intellectual ijtihad to confront Iran's contemporary crises and shows how this theoretical apparatus can help lay the foundations of a new philosophy for Iran. The discussion of the relationship between theory and practice, the possibility of reconstructing political thought, and the place of philosophy in solving Iran's problem are among the main axes of this session.
This conversation is an opportunity for those interested in political philosophy, Iranian studies, and contemporary Iranian thought to become acquainted with Tabatabai's theoretical capacities for creatively confronting the country's current problems and to find new horizons for thinking about Iran's future.
