The Philosophical School of Allameh Tabataba'i گفتگو و مصاحبه

خلاصه ماشینی:

For instance, in the study of God, that which is based on pure philosophy, such as the "Burhan al-Siddiqin" (Proof of the Truthful), has no connection to empirical discussions, and there is no relationship between them and the empirical sciences; therefore, neither does an evolution in the latter cause an evolution in the former, nor vice versa, because they are completely independent, much like mathematics, whose four basic operations are not related to any science, and whether other sciences evolve or do not evolve, these rules remain in their place and do not undergo change. Another point is that empirical sciences can influence philosophy in the form of a particular affirmative proposition, and it is not the case that every evolution occurring in any science affects philosophy; rather, those subjects that have been proposed as the "subject matter" for philosophy, if they change, their philosophical discussion changes. In short, one part of these kinds of issues that is influenced by empirical sciences pertains to natural sciences and not philosophy, and another part is the hypotheses of the sciences for which philosophy has proposed a rational analysis; and if that subject matter is wrong, no harm comes to philosophy, because philosophy has provided a view in the form of a conditional proposition, and in fact, the post-scientific part of philosophy is actually a series of conditional propositions, meaning that if this subject is correct, this analysis will be valid. If the late Allameh Tabataba'i said that the "principle of causality" is accepted in the Quran, the implication is not that his interpretation has become philosophical; he examined this issue with the specific method of traditional sciences and, relying on the conventional meaning and inference from the wording and principles of conversation, reached this conclusion.
