Religious Science in the View of Ayatullah Javadi Amoli

Author

Abstract

The viewpoint of independence of the two fields of science and religion attempts to first, end the conflict of these two fields and second, stress the role of science in managing the unspecific religious fields.
AyatullahJavadi Amoli asserts that this segregation of science and religion is the product of a wrong image of science and religion. He believes that the correct relationship between science and religion is based on the position of intellect in the geometry of religious knowledge.
In this view, intellect along with Quran and Sunnat provides religious knowledge. Therefore, intellectual epistemology and scientific knowledge are not outside the jurisprudence of religious epistemology and never contrast with religion. In fact, intellect contrasts word-of-mouth not religion. In this view, science is completely religious and there is no such thing as secular science.
In this article, the bases and assumptions of this theory are stated, and the theory's applicability in picturing scientific religion and Islamization of sciences are studied.
