چکیده

مقاله حاضر نخستین نوشتاری است که به دو بحث تاریخ و صورت‌بندی مطالعه فلسفه سیاسی اسلامی در غرب می‌پردازد. در بحث نخست، به پیدایش و سیر تاریخی مطالعه اندیشمندان غربی درباره فلسفه سیاسی اسلامی اشاره دارد و ضمن بیان زندگی علمی این دسته از اندیشمندان، به معرفی مهم‌ترین آثاری می‌پردازد که در غرب درباره فلسفه سیاسی اسلامی نوشته شده است. در بحث دوم، مطالعه فلسفه سیاسی اسلامی در غرب در چهار رهیافت تاریخی، تفسیری، انتقادی و توصیفی صورت‌بندی می‌شود. صورت‌بندی مذکور نه بر اساس تقدم و تأخر زمانی اندیشمندان و آثار، بلکه بر ساس هم‌خوانی محتوایی مباحث می‌باشد. همچنین دست‌یابی به رهیافت‌های مذکور و صورت‌بندی آن، نه بر اساس معیار قیاسی، بلکه بر اساس مطالعه استقرایی آثاری است که درباره فلسفه سیاسی اسلامی در غرب نوشته شده‌اند.

History and the categorization of the study of Islamic political philosophy in the West

نویسنده [English]

  • Mohsen Rizvani
چکیده [English]

The present paper is the first to deal with the two issues of history and the categorization of the study of Islamic political philosophy in the West. The first part of the paper deals with the emergence and historical development of the study of Western scholars on Islamic political philosophy and, in addition to giving an account of the life of these scholars, introduces the most important works written in the West about Islamic political philosophy. In the second part, the study of the Islamic political philosophy in the West is categorized into four approaches: historical, interpretive, critical, and descriptive. The above categorization is not based on time, but on the congruence of content. In addition, arriving at the above approach for categorization was not based on an deductive criterion, but on the inductive study of the works written about the Islamic political philosophy in the West.
