Tradition in Seyyed Hossein Nasr and Dariush Shayegan’s Thought
Journal Title: International Research Journal of Applied and Basic Sciences - Year 2013, Vol 7, Issue 7
Abstract
Seyyed Hossein Nasr and Shayegan are two well-known and influential Iranian intellectuals, and tradition has been a mutual field of interest for both scholars. However, some differences and dissimilarities in their views and interpretations can be detected. The main objective of this article is to understand and decode the different meanings of Tradition in the eye of these two scholars. Why Nasr, with his theistic, mystical, holistic point of view, considers Tradition "sacred" and defends it, while Shayegan, holding critical, pluralistic and non- religious perspective, regards Tradition "personal" and opposes it? According to the hypothesis and objective of this article, different theoretical and practical backgrounds of the two result in different views and interpretations. This article will take a close look at the issue applying Quentin Skinner and Thomas Spragens' background-oriented methodology.
