In this program, Amir Maziar, in conversation with Nora Nourisafat, discusses the theory of revelation among Muslim philosophers. The central focus of the discussion is how Islamic philosophers have understood the phenomenon of revelation and what relationship they have established between revelation, reason, prophecy, and the levels of human perception.
This session is the first program in the Instagram conversation series "Qadr-e Vahy" (The Measure of Revelation) and seeks to examine the issue of revelation not only from a theological or exegetical perspective but also from a philosophical angle. In such an approach, questions such as the role of the Active Intellect, the faculty of imagination, prophetic knowledge, and the possibility of a philosophical explanation of the revelatory experience become significant.
The importance of this conversation lies in the fact that one of the most fundamental religious concepts, namely revelation, is revisited within the context of the Islamic philosophical tradition. This program is of interest to enthusiasts of Islamic philosophy, religious studies, Quranic studies, and the relationship between reason and faith.
