Abstract

ABSTRACT The Iranian scholar Abdolkarim Soroush has recently developed an account of revelation referred to as the theory of Prophetic Dreams. This article seeks to analyse this theory and its relation to two earlier theories developed by him (that of the Contraction and Expansion of Religious Knowledge and that of the Expansion of Prophetic Experience). In addition, it explores whether the theory of Prophetic Dreams has any roots in classical Islamic literature and the ideas of Muslim theologians, mystics and philosophers in the pre-modern era. Finally, it discusses the implications of Soroush’s theory of Prophetic Dreams for issues related to exegesis and theology, suggesting that it has an important bearing on Islamic theological discourses. The article aims to contribute to scholarly understanding of the development of Soroush’s thought by investigating aspects of his project that have not hitherto been explored.
阿卜杜尔卡里姆·索鲁什的启示论:从宗教知识的扩张与收缩到预言之梦
伊朗学者Abdolkarim Soroush最近发展了一种关于启示的理论,称为预言梦理论。本文试图分析这一理论及其与他早期提出的两个理论(宗教知识的收缩和扩张以及先知经验的扩张)的关系。此外,它还探讨了先知梦理论是否在古典伊斯兰文学和前现代时期穆斯林神学家、神秘主义者和哲学家的思想中有任何根源。最后,它讨论了索罗什的预言梦理论对与训诂学和神学有关的问题的影响,表明它对伊斯兰神学话语有重要的影响。这篇文章的目的是通过调查他的项目中迄今为止尚未被探索的方面,来促进对索鲁什思想发展的学术理解。
