Author

Abstract

Understanding the propositions and questions in any science requires certain rules. These rules are commonly known as "the logic of understanding". The present research. which is concerned with the logic of understanding in Tafsir al-Mizan, examines this subject on the basis of ratinal rules and in the light of the eminent al-Alamah al-Tabataba'i's views. The aforementioned logic is studied within the rational domain which deals with issnues like the infalliability of the prophet's tlousehold and its relation with the understanding and interpretation of the holy Qur'an, the priciple of negation of objection to the rational solidly based matters, the pirnciple of the inherent language which characterises the traditions used in the commentary of the Qur'an, the unity of the source of Qur'anic verses and the traditions of the Infalliable and the negation of inner conflict in the traditions used in interpreting the Qur'an.
