Reason, Freedom, and Democracy in Islam
Essential Writing of Abdolkarim Soroush,
Translated, Edited and with a critical Introduction by
Mahmoud Sadri and
Ahmad Sadri
Published by
Oxford University Press, 236p
The
paper back edition was published in January 2002
From the Publisher
Abdolkarim Soroush has emerged as one of the leading moderate
revisionist thinkers of the Muslim world. He and his contemporaries in
other Muslim countries are shaping what may become Islam's equivalent
of the Christian Reformation: a period of questioning traditional
practices and beliefs and, ultimately, of upheaval. Presenting eleven
of his essays, this volume makes Soroush's thought readily available
in English for the first time. The essays set forth his views on such
matters as the freedom of Muslims to interpret the Qur'an, the
inevitability of change in religion, the necessity of freedom of
belief, and the compatibility of Islam and democracy. Throughout,
Soroush emphasizes the rights of individuals in their relationship
with both government and God, explaining that the ideal Islamic state
can only be defined by the beliefs and will of the majority.
"This selection of [Khatami's] writings
reveals a genuinely liberal intellect rooted in Soroush's Iranian and
Islamic culture but at home with Western thought...his statements are
penetrating and coherent." --Foreign Affairs
"Soroush's call for the unabashed
application of reason to all the problems of the Muslim community is a
profoundly liberating approach to religious and intellectual
modernization."--Social Epistemology Journal of Knowledge, Culture, &
Policy |

Farbeh
Tar Az Ideology (Sturdier Than Ideology) (381p)
This book is named after the most important article in it which
discusses the subject of making religion equal to an ideology, and the
role of the late Dr Shariati in doing so. By ``making religion equal
to an ideology'', he means making out of religion a codified system,
bereft of the element of perplexity, which is used as a weapon and is
foe-generating and foe-seeking, and in particular stresses hatred more
than it stresses love. He also points out that for making religion
equal to an ideology it is necessary that there be an official group
of interpreters for it; this being harmful to the religion, and even
contrary to the late Ali Shariati's own view, seeing that he was not
pleased with the clergy and did not regard their existence as an
official class befitting to the religion's true esteem. |

Qabz va Bast-e Teoric
Shari'at - ya Nazariyeh-ye Takāmol-e Ma'refat-e Dini
(The Theory of Evolution of Religious
Knowledge or- Text in Context) (681p)
The most controversial of all his books. This is a collection of
articles that had earlier appeared in the monthly journal "Kayhan-e
Farhangi" and had caused much controversy even then. The book has gone
through four impressions, twenty thousand copies being published. In
this book he presents a detailed discussion on the subject of the
evolution of religion, explaining that religious knowledge is distinct
from religion itself - the former being one among many of the branches
of human knowledge and in interaction and transaction with them so
that if the other branches of knowledge are subject to change and
transformation, one can expect religious knowledge also to go through
transformations. Dr Soroush has also proposed the mechanism for this
transformation, emphasising that, in reality, it is the human beings'
understanding of religion that constitutes religious knowledge. |

Sciences were coming under severe attack, Soroush rose to the
challenge of defending them. He published sixteen articles in the
monthly journal SOROUSH (no relation) which together with a few other
articles were later compiled and published in this book. |

Dānesh va
Arzesh (Knowledge and Value)
This is on the subject of the Philosophy of Ethics and in the main
addresses the relation between "is" and "ought" and unveils a hidden
fallacy in a kind of Scientific Ethics. By ``Scientific Ethics''
Soroush means Ethics that are based on Science and seek to derive
(ethical) values from that which "is" and from descriptions of things. |

 القبض
والبسط في الشريعة
تأليف:
عبد الكريم سروش
الناشر: دار الجديد - لبنان (2003)
ان المعرفة الدينية، كأي
معرفة أخرى، هي حصيلة جهد البشر وتأملهم، وهي دائما مزيج
من الآراء الظنية واليقينية، ومن الحق
والباطل، ولا مجال لإنكار تطور هذه المجموعة
وتكاملها. نحن لا نقول إن الوحي الذي أتى به
الأنبياء يكمله البشر إنما نقول إن فهم
البشر لمفاد الوحي يتطور. ولا نقول إن هذا
التحول كان مقترنا، في كل مكان وزمان،
بظهور آراء قيمة ومحكمة، ولكننا نقول إن السير
في الطريق الصعبة غير المعبدة،
والسقوط والنهوض، والصلح والحرب، والخطأ
والصواب، والتخطئة والتصويب، هو الذي يصحح
المسار وييسر الارتقاء.
