Abstract

Ever since modernity entered the Islamic world including Iran, the knowledge system of the Islamic world has faced theoretical and conceptual challenges. He considered these intellectual challenges and puzzles in issues such as democracy, secularism, development, freedom, law, women's rights, etc. The central question and purpose of this research is the interaction between tradition and modernity in terms of concept at the macro level, especially in the fundamental components such as interpretation of the text, adaptation of the text and the West, as well as humanism. In this direction, topics such as tradition and metamorphosis in the concept of tradition, how to face tradition, contemporary religion, etc. have been analyzed. This intellectual challenge has encompassed various fields of jurisprudence, political thought and political mysticism. In the political opinions of scholars and jurists as well as religious intellectuals such as Allameh Nayini, Shahid Motahari and thinkers such as Daud Firahi, this conflict between tradition and modernity and how to understand the text has been discussed. In fact, the most important intellectual and jurisprudential challenge of contemporary Iran has been how to reconcile the defining elements of Iranian political life, i.e., tradition and modernity. The conceptual and theoretical challenge of these words has increased a lot compared to the past. Various theories have been presented about the interaction of tradition, text and modernity in modern Iran.
