About this video
In the history of Iranian thought, the Quran has not been merely a religious text, but also one of the important sources for the formation and reinterpretation of thought in various periods. In contemporary Iran as well, the relationship between the Quran and intellectual currents is considered one of the key issues in understanding the intellectual, religious, and cultural developments of Iranian society.
In this session, Ahmad Pakatchi, focusing on the theme of "The Quran and the Intellectual Currents of Contemporary Iran," examines this relationship and discusses the position of the Quran in its encounter with contemporary intellectual currents. This conversation is held within the framework of the series of meetings on "The State of Thought in Contemporary Iran."
The importance of this discussion lies in the fact that understanding the intellectual currents of contemporary Iran will be incomplete without considering the manner of reading, interpreting, and the presence of the Quran in Iran's intellectual and cultural sphere. This session can provide a basis for reflection on the relationship between the religious text and the intellectual developments and intellectual history of contemporary Iran.
