Abstract:
The present paper investigates Mohsin Mahdi's political thought and the importance of his role in the extension of Islamic political philosophy in the West. His interpretation of political Islamic thought is based on the relationship between "reason" and "revelation" and their transcendental role in "politics". Also, his attempt to recognize Farabi's political philosophy has given rise to a new interpretation of the tradition of western political philosophy. He not only attempted to revitalize the texts of political Islamic thought and extend their contents, but also trained a generation of professors and scholars who have founded Mahdi school in the scientific circles of the West and extended the approach he developed to interpreting political philosophy, political Islamic philosophy, and also western political philosophy
چکیده و کلیدواژه فارسی (Persian)
Title :محسن مهدی و بسط فلسفه‌ی سیاسی اسلامی در غرب
Abstract:
مقاله حاضر به بررسی اندیشه‌ی سیاسی محسن مهدی و اهمیت وی در بسط فلسفه‌ی سیاسی اسلامی در غرب می پردازد. تفسیر مهدی از فلسفه‌ی سیاسی اسلامی، مبتنی بر پیوند «عقل» و «وحی» و نقش متعالی این دو با «سیاست» است. همچنین، تلاش وی در بازشناسی فلسفه‌ی سیاسی فارابی، موجب تفسیر جدیدی از سنت فلسفه‌ی سیاسی غرب گردید. محسن مهدی نه تنها به احیای متون فلسفه‌ی سیاسی اسلامی و بسط محتوای آن اهتمام ورزید، بلکه نسلی از استادان و محققان را تربیت کرد که امروزه مکتب مهدی را در محافل علمی غرب شکل دادند و به بسط رهیافت وی در تفسیر فلسفه‌ی سیاسی، فلسفه‌ی سیاسی اسلامی و حتی فلسفه‌ی سیاسی غربی می پردازند.
