edit data

Abdolkarim Soroush was born in Tehran in 1945. Upon finishing high school, Soroush began studying Pharmacy after passing the National Entrance exams of Iran. After completing his degree, he soon left for London in order to continue his studies and to become familiar with the modern world.

It was after graduating in analytical chemistry from graduate school at London that he went to Chelsea College, for studying history and philosophy of science, spending the next five and a half years there. During these years, confrontation between the people and the Shah's regime was gradually becoming more serious, and political gatherings of Iranians in America and Europe, and Britain in particular, were on the increase.

It was after graduating in analytical chemistry from graduate school at London that he went to Chelsea College, for studying history and philosophy of science, spending the next five and a half years there. During these years, confrontation between the people and the Shah's regime was gradually becoming more serious, and political gatherings of Iranians in America and Europe, and Britain in particular, were on the increase. Soroush, too, was thus drawn into the field.

After the Revolution, Soroush returned to Iran and there he published his book "Knowledge and Value" (Danesh va Arzesh) the writing of which he had completed in England. He then went to Tehran's Teacher Training College where he was appointed the Director of the newly established Islamic Culture Group.

A year later, all universities were shut down, and a new body was formed by the name of the Cultural Revolution Institute comprising seven members, including AbdulKarim Soroush, all of whom were appointed directly by Ayatollah Khomeini. The purpose of this institute was to bring about the re-opening of the universities and total restructuring of the syllabi.

In 1983, owing to certain differences which emerged between him and the management of the Teacher Training College, he secured a transfer to the Institute for Cultural Research and Studies where he has been serving as a research member of staff until today. He submitted his resignation from membership in the Cultural Revolution Council to Imam Khomeini and has since held no official position within the ruling system of Iran, except occasionally as an advisor to certain government bodies. His principal position has been that of a researcher in the Institute.

Quotes by Abdolkarim Soroush (?)

“إن العبور من بين أكوام الحق والباطل والصواب والخطأ، وأحيانًا تمزيق قشور الذهن بأشواك الباطل والوصول إلى ساحة الحقائق الواسعة أفضل من الجلوس بأمل حصول حالة الشهود والكشف وإشراق بارقة الحق بدون أن يعيش الإنسان العطش والتحرق والحركة في طلب الحقيقة.”
― Abdolkarim Soroush, العقل و الحرية

“إن عمل الأنبياء يتخلص في إيقاظ النائمين الذين يتصورون أنهم مستيقظين، ولكنهم في الواقع يجب أن يستيقظوا وينتبهوا أولا ثم يؤمنوا ويصدقوا بأن اليقظة شيء جيد، ولكن الأقوام السالفة لم تكن مستيقظة قبل ذلك ولم تذق طعم اليقظة.”

“أركان نظرية الدكتور سروش في المعرفة الدينية:
1- إن الدين والمعرفة الدينية أمران متغايران (مختلفان وليسا متضادين ومتخاصمين)
2- الدين ثابت، والمعرفة الدينية معرفة بشرية، والمعارف البشرية متغيرة
3- إن الفقه علم دنيوي ومن عرضيات الدين
4- الشريعة صامتة، وقدرة خطابها وأجوبتها هي بقدر أسئلتنا واستنطاقنا لها
5- الوحي والرسالة تابعان لشخصية النبي والمحيط والثقافة التي كان يعيشها
6- خاتمية النبوة لا تستوجب ختم حضور النبي في ميدان التدين وانقطاع الوحي، بل تؤكد ضرورة هذا الحضور لتأمين التجارب الدينية المفيدة
7- شخصية النبي بشرية، سواء في التشريع أو في التجربة الدينية
8- المعرفة الدينية متحولة ومتكاملة كسائر المعارف البشرية، إذًا، إذا كانت المعارف والعلوم كافة تتعرض للقبض والبسط والزيادة والنقيصة فإن المعرفة الدينية لا بد أن تكون كذلك
9- تنقيح فهم الدين يحتاج إلى الاطلاع ما أمكن على المعارف خارج الدين
10- أول واضع لبذور التعددية في العالم هو الله، وذلك حين أرسل أنبياء متعددين فتجلى لكل واحد منهم وبعثه إلى مجتمع معين، وجعل في ذهن وعلى لسان كل واحد منهم تفسيرًا خاصًا به لفهم الشريعة وتطبيقها”
