Abstract

The question of this article is that the application of Ayatollah Javadi Amoli's theory of religious science as a supporting theory of the Islamic nature of laws and regulations requires attention to which points in this theory? All laws are regulated by relevant knowledge in the fields of economics, politics, management, jurisprudence, etc. This article examines the potential and limitations of Ayatollah Javadi Amoli's theory of religious science/Islamic University/Islamic Society in the public domain. There are many positive points in this theory, which has been presented by a first-class Islamic scholar with a long history in political and managerial decision-making, such as: attention to all sources of knowledge; That is, the four intellects and narration together, maintaining the epistemological identity of each source, paying attention to the possibility of error in all sources of knowledge available to humans, including narration and reason, showing the general scheme of the method of sitting together of these sources. But on the other hand, considering the current situation of scientific and decision-making centers, there is a long way to the possibility of operationalizing this theory. Among the problems of the path, we can mention the following: establishing the knowledge-giving of pure reason and intuitional reason in scientific and related circles and its source for common academic scientific knowledge, the legitimacy of Islam in the general sense and its source for discovering ontological, legal-moral rules, establishing the source of rational findings for jurisprudential discussions.
