Khamenei, Islam, Humanities

Complains about "anti-Qoranic" materialistic humanities courses in Iranian universities

"Iranian supreme leader recently attacked westernized human science. Pointing to the issue of westernized human sciences in universities and expressing his criticism in this regard, Ayatollah Khamenei said that the essence of human sciences lies in Koran."

Iran, after 2609 years of history...

by American Dream on

2,609 years after the reign of Cyrus the Great, Ayat'Allah Seyed Ali Khamenei is the leader of Iranians.  Interesting turn of events.  Cyrus and Khamenei look alike.  Maybe they are related.

It won't work

by Abarmard on

It's like bringing in Dara and Sara dolls, without considering before and after sales or distribution and price. Where did that go? This is the same, just for adults.

Abarmard: Wishful Thinking

by Peykan on

I admire your sense of optimism; however, as you heard in the clip, it seems that they (Khamenei et al.) are sincerely (or pretentiously) convinced that they have got all the answers they need to resolve human dilemmas and challenges 1400 years ago and there is no need for further investigation. This type of self-righteousness and black and white vision of the world, issued by a government, is extremely dangerous. Meanwhile, generations of Iranian academics will face the consequences of their trials and errors.   

 

This is a concern for the system because the modern human sciences developed in the west after the Renaissance and the industrial revolution dispute or discredit any divine interference in their perspective. Naturally, a religious dictatorship is not inclined to promote its own anti-thesis in its academia.

His speaking voice

by ex programmer craig on

Is not bad. But I think he should soften his image a little. That black thing on his head makes him look like a terrorist. I suggest he should go with something like this instead:

He'd seem much more accessible that way.

Great Points Abarmard

by masoudA on

You are absolutely correct - gave me hope


Abarmard

No worries- two points

by Abarmard on

Two points comes to mind.

First whether they will stop teaching the social philosophy and history all together?  They will not be able to do so.

Second to challenge those thoughts, they need to create new thoughts, or thesis, which then there is absolutely nothing wrong with it. It allows them to have a better understandings about the Western works in order to develop an "Iranian"/Islamic version of it. 

The only way to challenge a theory or thought is to present another one. That would be again challenged and the communication of thoughts will increase.

Suppose that they make Mullahs to come up with crazy thoughts and demands in regard to social sciences, beside making an ass of themselves, they will not accomplish anything else. Therefore, not only I promote Khamenei's thoughts, but add to it: Bring it on.

What it all means is that talk is cheap. It's not practical and I won't lose sleep over it. If Iranian philosophers and thinkers get excited about this method, then we have not lost anything and might even gain something.

recall the cultural revolution during the revolution, in the long run they all went back to what it always was. the system can't stop the modernity of the society by bringing backward laws. The only accomplishment would be the opposite, the Iranian modernity would come up with more answers to develop a better and more open society. We can conclude that his logic will only hurt his system and helps the people in the long run.
