Abstract

In religious texts, intellectual knowledge has a special importance. The precise explanation of the role of reason in guiding human beings and its relationship with revelation has been studied extensively. This research is a critical reflection on some of the contents of the book Dignity of Reason in the Geometry of Religious Knowledge by Ayatollah Javadi Amoli. In this book, he seeks to explain the position of reason and science in religion and religious knowledge. Although this book has valuable and useful points, only some of its points seem to be seriously considered. In this article, some of the points and reflections are discussed as follows: the relationship between science and religion, the solution to the conflict between reason and narration, the validity of reason and science for the Shari'a, knowledge of science, the condition of jurisprudential inference, the revelatory truth of religion, the similitude of infallible discovery, he principle of rejecting contradiction, the Islamization of sciences, the result of book theory, the solution of Islamization of sciences, the Mesbah of reason and narration, as well as the interrogative question of God.
