A Critical Review of Tafkīk School concerning Interpretation of the Qur'an

Author

Abstract

Tafkīk School (belief in distinction of philosophy from religion) is one of the religio-intellectual perspectives of the recent decades in Khurāsān. Although the opponents to this school regard it as a new traditionalism as well as anti-rationalism and anti-philosophy, the proponents view that in this procedure they have contributed both to philosophy and religion. The writer of the present article tries to deal with this issue from a critical viewpoint.
