The Paradigm of "Wisdom" and its Role in Solving the Paradox of Absolutism and Relativism
Abstract
Believing in the interplay of all sciences, including human sciences and religious sciences, is one of the bases of relativism. In order to explore the truth of this interplay, it has firstly been tried in this article to discuss the "paradigm of wisdom" from the Islamic point of view.The writer has also discussed the scientists' unsuccessful experience of establishing a relationship between the universalism of wisdom and particularism of experimental sciences, that is, deduction and universalism versus induction and particularism.In still another part, with reference to the interplay of human sciences, the writer has reviewed the ideas of returning to universalism in frameworks such as the philosophy of science, the general systems theory, semiotics and hermeneutics.Finally, the interplay of "the unity of wisdom" and "the multiplicity of sciences" has been introduced in contexts sunh as the paradox of the Quran and the criterion, the path, religion and Divine Laws, the troops and mankind, and the issue of lack of division in shiite exertion as a strategic theory in Islamic culture in order to deal with this philosophical challenge.
