About this video
In this program, Jalal Peykani and Mahin Rezaei discuss the relationship between Islamic philosophy and the question of the meaning of life. The focus of the discussion is whether the Islamic philosophical tradition, with concepts such as finality, perfection, the soul, happiness, God, and the human relationship with existence, possesses the necessary theoretical capacity to address the question of the meaning of life.
The question of the meaning of life in contemporary philosophy is usually accompanied by inquiries about purpose, value, absurdity, suffering, and death. This conversation attempts to show that Islamic philosophy can also, by relying on its conceptual apparatus, provide a way to understand the human position in the world and the relationship of life with the good, truth, and perfection.
The importance of this program lies in linking a living, contemporary question with the heritage of Islamic philosophy. In this conversation, the audience is confronted with the question of how a measured and modern answer to the question of meaning can be extracted from within a philosophical and religious tradition.
