Rational Method and Philosophical Trend in Ṣadr al-Muti’allihīn's Interpretation of the Qur'an
Journal Title: جستارهایی در فلسفه و کلام - Year 2010, Vol 42, Issue 84
Abstract
Although the present article addresses a philosopher interpreter, but it is to say that Ṣadr al-Muti’allihīn's exegetical method is comprehensive and that he has made use of rational, traditional, and intuitive methods in his interpretation of the Qur'an. Similarly, in the field of exegetical trends, although the prevailing trend in his interpretation is mystico-philosophical, but sapiential (ḥikamī) is a more befitting name for this prevailing trend; because, as much as his philosophy is transcendental and consequently sapiential and different from other current philosophies, so also his interpretation is transcendental and therefore sapiential and different from other interpretations.
