Transferring the water vapor in the atmosphere directly depend on the conditions of atmospheric circulation, amount and path of humidity changes related to the atmospheric circulation variation. one of the main factors of atmospheric circulation affecting on transferring the moisture is high pressure centers that if placed on the water surface and humidity resources causes the moisture advection in a widely area. However, the role of low pressure systems and cyclones in advection and moisture flux, although not as much as high-pressure systems, but also played a significant role in transmitting and condition of moisture advection. the aim of this study is survey the moisture advection of Iran's precipitations. in this regard, pressure data, specific humidity, u wind and v wind parameters in 500, 700, 850 and 1000 hpa from NCEP/NCAR database were extracted and analyzed. the results showed that the moisture advection of iran's precipitations is related to the moisture advection pattern of low pressure of dual-core of Sudan and east Mediterranean - Europe high pressure, moisture advection pattern of multicore low pressure of central Iran, east Mediterranean and south east of Saudi Arabian, moisture advection pattern of high-pressure of north west of Europe- low pressure of Persian gulf, moisture advection pattern of high pressure of Siberia and Kazakhstan- low pressure of south east of Iran and low pressure of Mediterranean. Overly, the results showed that Arabian Sea in low level and Mediterranean Sea in high level had an important role in moisture advection of Iran's precipitations. Manuscript profile

The best tools and methods in geochemical evaluation of source rocks are Rock-Eval Pyrolysis and Gas Chromatography. In this study, in order to evaluate geochemical characteristics of Ilam, Laffan and Sarvak formations in well NH01 in Nosrat Oil Field, geochemical data including preliminary and detailed Rock Eval Pyrolysis, bitumen extraction and Gas Chromatography on 15 cuttings samples (7 samples from Ilam, 6 samples from Laffan and 2 samples from Sarvak formations) were used. Results of pyrolysis indicated that most samples have a mixture of kerogen type II and III that often tend to be kerogen type II. In general, Ilam, Laffan and Sarvak formations are poor in organic matter and have lower hydrocarbon potential and maturities. Results of liquid chromatography for Ilam and Sarvak samples indicated that these samples are paraffinic in origin. Gas chromatography suggested that Ilam and Sarvak formations deposited in anoxic conditions containing organic matter mostly derived from marine environment with subordinate amounts of terrestrial input.

Political, social, and cultural situation of every era has direct effects on poets’ views. Black and pessimist Romantic literature as a literary genre has emerged in Iran’s society after one decade of mobility and tension in different social and political areas; it was indeed a kind of Protest against destructive consequences of coup d'etat 1332 (1953) which suddenly sunk many social and cultural activities in complete stagnation. Poets, in this era, expressed their Protests in various kinds, sometimes semi-obvious and sometimes indirectly, though there were severe censorship and strangulation. Symbolism was one the invisible methods of fighting against censorship; however, black and romantic literature was an obvious and hidden and somehow negative battle against political blockage that reflected poet’s rebellion and Protest focusing on destructive consequences caused by coup d'etat in political, social and cultural areas. It is tried in this article to review some reasons of emergence of this literary genre and its reflection in “Nosrat Rahmani” poet as a poet of Black Poetry. Manuscript profile

According to religious doctrines that are in contrast with western thoughts, Nasr believes that religion, especially Islam, cannot be separated from the governing realm. This article tries to study Nasr’s theoretical reasons against secularism, i.e. separation of religion and government. Also it shows that how Nasr explains this subject causes someone thinks that there are rooms for influence of secularism in his thought and oppose with him. Manuscript profile

The design of mosques in the history of Iranian architecture seems to be the Climax of Islamic art and architecture. The architecture of mosques seeks inspiration of concepts of the divine world in order to create an atmosphere that connect the material world to the immaterial world and creates a single spiritual space. In this study, the effect of factors affecting the perception of spirituality in the interior of Nasir Al-Molk Mosque in Shiraz has been investigated. In this regard, first the parameters that affect the perception of the sense of spirituality are determined and then 120 questionnaires are collected from architecture and urban planning students of Shiraz University, the validity and reliability of which has been confirmed by Cronbach’s alpha. Then, by modeling the structural equations of partial least squares (PLS-SEM), it is analyzed to determine the relationship between the parameters on each other. Factors affecting the perception of spirituality are social, sensory, somatic and environmental factors that the results show that there is a significant difference in the ranking of indicators. In the following, the indicators are arranged based on the degree of impact on the perception of spirituality from rank 1 meaning the most impact to rank 15 meaning the least impact. Findings show that the greatest impact on the perception of spirituality is related to somatic indicators. Manuscript profile

Analyzing the fundamental concept of justice has special situation and great importance in the mind of any philosopher. Nasir al-din is one of the great philosophers who has precious words and has written great works about justice. By using an integrated approach of the ideas of the Greek philosophers (Plato and Aristotle votes) and philosophical and theological teachings and by wisdom and theology tools, Nasir al-din could make clear the neglected theological dimensions of justice and explain Islam's approach to the issue of justice. By benefiting from this method, he has created coordination among justice and other parts of practical wisdom of Islam. In this study, by referring to Nasir-al-din’s works especially Akhlaq-i-Nasri, it has tried to explain the statue of justice in Nasir al-din’s intellectual framework in an analytical-descriptive method.

War crimes are one of the most important examples of international crimes and, as a moral anomaly, are within the jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court. As long as it has been criminalized in Article 8 of the Statute of the International Criminal Court, it has undergone a long process. In general, the Statute of the Court exceeded the limits of the customary international law on war conflicts in significant and perceptible cases and imposes new obligations on States Parties. In addition to the criminalization of certain acts related to the war in international armed conflicts, the crimes committed in conflicts within the countries have also been sanctioned. By 1949, International humanitarian law has not considered to internal armed conflicts, and up to 1977, no independent treaties were drawn up in this regard. It can also be found in the absence of a comprehensive definition of non-international armed conflicts. However, in the 1990s, The International Criminal Court for the former Yugoslavia defined a definition, while reflecting the custom of its time, influenced the development of the future custom. In this paper, The formation of resources and bases governing internal armed conflicts and its gradual and moral development will be assessed on the basis of humanitarian criteria by the library method and using fishing tools, and will show that the procedure of the Court The former Yugoslav penal code, followed by the drafting of the 1998 Statute of the International Criminal Court. And the inclusion of these crimes in the scope of war crimes has created and developed a great moral transformation in relation to the development of rights related to these conflicts.

In both works, the necessity of observing and protecting the moral and religious teachings and the creature of the king to the virtues and desirable moral qualities such as benevolence and forgiveness, justice and fairness, moderation, cheerfulness and democracy and the like, are warned. Also, paying attention to those around and subordinates, how to deal with them, the quality of interaction and treatment with different sections and classes of people, as well as how to deal with enemies and ill-wishers, have been the most important issues that these two works have addressed. The study of these works clearly shows that Saadi in his advice to the kings, without any hesitation, has expressed his intention in the form of very clear and explicit advice addressed to the ruler and sultan of the society, while in Marzbanameh, this is important using technical language.

Philosophers’ confrontation with concepts such as “tradition” and “modernity” have always been discussed by groups with different views and each group has attempted to define these concepts based on their own understanding of the subject and index them tailored to their particular worldview. Discussions on the concepts of tradition and modernity, the functions of each, the extent and intensity of each and the effectiveness of each concept in the current contemporary conditions have made it difficult to define a comprehensive and accurate definition without specifying an exclusive approach towards the topic. Therefore, this paper seeks to examine, analyze and critique the views of one of the leading professors of traditionalism, Dr. Seyed Hossein Nasr- impressed by Rene Guenon on and Frithjof Schuon and specialized in Islamic mysticism and philosophy, comparative theology, and the history of science in Islam- the issue of the crisis of the opposition between tradition and modernity in the contemporary world. Thus, by analyzing the content of Dr. Nasr's numerous publications, the concept of tradition and traditionalism, the pillars of traditional thought, traditional art, architecture and traditional urban planning from his point of view have been studied. In the next step, the above-mentioned cases will be examined in relation to the “modernist” thought. Finally, after a comprehensive critique of Dr. Nasr's views on the traditional Islamic city and the new Islamic city, final analysis will provide a valuable summary of the application of the concepts of tradition and modernity in Dr. Nasr's thought. This comparative analysis, which includes the dimensions of origin, temporal and spatial constraints, anthropology, art, artist, aesthetics, principles, architecture, architect, development, city, relationship with nature and environmental principles can guide traditionalist beliefs in solving the crisis of contemporary modernity.

This study examines the truth of attributing the Salaman wa absal treatise to Ibn Sina and explores its content based on historical proofs. Several versions of the story of Salaman wa absal have been composed in the course of history; however, Ibn Sina’s version is questionable in terms of both its existence and its content. Unlike his other works, the original text of this treatise is not available, and it has not been studied or investigated in its own right. Neither has it received much attention on the part of philosophers. Here, the writer initially examines the documents on the existence or non-existence of this treatise and, then, refers to certain reports which provide some information regarding its potential content. Accordingly, he concludes that Ibn Sina most probably wrote this work, and that his original version certainly exists. However, he maintains that there is no definite proof regarding its content and argues that there are merely two reports on two types of content for this treatise. Finally, he states that certain historical misunderstandings have occurred in relation to this work over time, which has resulted in committing some serious errors regarding its content and its attribution to Ibn Sina.

13 - Philosophy and Religious law in Spinoza’s Theologico-Political Treatise: Admist Averroism and Textualism

Given the Multi-cultural nature of the development of philosophical systems, it can be claimed that Baruch Benedict de Spinoza formulated his view of the problem of the possibility or impossibility of concurrence of philosophy and religion in line with the tradition of Latin and Jewish Averroists. A major part of his Theologico-Political Treatise is devoted to responding to this problem. Spinoza’s philosophical thoughts were influenced by several philosophical and political traditions. Inspired by the naturalist philosophers of the Renaissance period, he advocated the radical republican tradition and played a significant role in developing the radical Enlightenment heritage. In unity with such trends and while being influenced by the Protestant religious reforms tradition and having a Jewish educational background, Spinoza was continually occupied with the important problem of the possibility or impossibility of reconciling theology and philosophy or religion and rationality. This radical philosopher of the Enlightenment Period encountered holy texts in the light of the Islamic and Jewish legacies of rational thoughts. In order to provide an answer to this problem, he openly dealt with the rationalist and textualist trends of Judaism. Given the huge contribution of Islamic rational thoughts to the rise of the Middle Age Jewish philosophy, his thoughts also dragged him to the domain of Islamic rational philosophy. In comparison to Muslim and Jewish textualists and rationalists of the Middle Ages, he chose the middle way and defended the reasons for his choice in the theological parts of his Theologico- Political Treatise: he argued that neither is philosophy at the service of religion, nor is religion at the service of philosophy. Based on this Spinozist idea, two hypotheses can be postulated: 1) the impossibility of the unity of philosophy and religion in Theologico-Political Treatise does not necessarily indicate providing some secular principles for the public domain; 2) following the historical hermeneutic approach to holy texts, this treatise provides a fideist theory which frees the vast field of living in the modern world from meaningless sterility and coldness.

The theory of moderation is one of the common ethical theories among Muslim philosophers. According to this theory, all ethical virtues enjoy middle term, and all moral vices are rooted in going to extremes. Although the scholars of Islamic ethics were influenced by Plato and Aristotle in posing their theory of moderation, they also presented several innovations in this regard. Khwajah Nasir al-Din Tusi can be considered one of the innovators of this theory. His innovation in psychology consists of the four-fold classification of the faculties of the soul and designating justice as a virtue and as a function of the practical wisdom. However, his important contribution concerning the theory of moderation paved the way for presenting a new interpretation of the principle of moderation, adding the criterion of quality to it, and defining the concept of “malignity”. His other important innovation is determining three supreme genera of excess, neglect, and malignity for the vice, which, given the three faculties of the soul, will increase to nine in the number of supreme genera. It is worth mentioning that these novel contributions of Tusi greatly affected his succeeding philosophers. Manuscript profile

Following an analytic descriptive method, this paper aims to configure and briefly analyze the theory or, at least, approach of Khwajah Nasir al-Din Tusi regarding the management of the household and the quality of resolving family problems. Given the findings of this study, it seems that, in Tusi’s definition of family, the existence of some full-time servants at home is necessary. This definition could have been developed under the influence of Tusi’s social class. It seems that his views of the desirable economic cycle of the family and its necessary elements need to be modernized in order to become more compatible with present economic realities. The findings of this study further demonstrate that Tusi’s approach to family management is similar to that of a physician. In other words, he believes that the head of the family, as a more experienced and knowledgeable person, should diagnose the defects of the family members with a sympathetic attitude and then try to remedy them.

The negation of painful worldly affairs and trying to depict a purely good world in the mind of a human being who has experienced a descent from heaven to the earth has a long history. This thought has resulted in the development of the idea of Utopia by Western and Eastern thinkers. Khwajah Nasir al-Din Tusi and Ibn Sina are among the scholars who have theorized in this regard and elaborated on the various dimensions of their own Utopia. The present study was conducted using a descriptive design and examining the existing documents regarding Ibn Sina and Tusi’s views of Utopia. The results of the study indicate that the differences between their descriptions of Utopia pertain to their theoretical approach, their views of the kind of leadership and attributes of the head of Utopia, Ibn Sina’s hierarchical and class-oriented view, and an accurate view of the components of Utopia in Ibn Sina’s philosophy in comparison to Tusi, while they both agree with each other with respect to their worldviews, the conditions they set for attaining the leadership of Utopia, and compromising view of the existing status. Evidently, given the Islamic worldview of both thinkers, the findings of this study could be a useful first step for portraying an Islamic city. Manuscript profile

Khwājah Naṣīr al-Dīn Ṭūsī has sometimes provided two different views regarding a scientific problem, one following the method of the people of kalam and the other following the method of philosophers. At first sight, one might assume that Ṭūsī is making contradictory comments; however, an analysis of his discussions reveal that such contradictions are only superficial and can be explained justifiably within the framework of his general system of philosophy. One of such contradictory cases pertains to the category of substance. In his works on logic, similar to Peripatetic philosophers, Ṭūsī considers substance to be a category or genus of genera; however, he deemed of substance as a secondary intelligible in his Tajrīd al-i‘tiqād. The present paper aims to clarify this view of the multiplicity of the category of substance. Then, in order to judge its legitimacy, the authors pose some possibilities and finally introduce one of the views which seems to be compatible with reality as their own standpoint. Through referring to Ṭūsī’s words and considering his social and academic position during his time, when philosophers were under huge attacks by mutikallimun, as well as given his moderate, truth-loving, and academic character, the authors demonstrate that this contradiction is superficial rather than real. Following the library method, this research was conducted based on a thorough study of Ṭūsī’s works. Nevertheless, the researchers also took the views of his commentators into consideration when necessary. Manuscript profile

The howness of God’s Will is one of the problems that has provoked a lot of discussion in the field of theology. Although all philosophers have accepted God’s Will as a Divine Attribute, there are several disagreements in its interpretation. The purpose of this paper is to investigate, compare, and evaluate the views of Khwājah Naṣīr al-Dīn Ṭūsī, Mullā Ṣadrā, and ‘Allāmah Ṭabāṭabā’ī in terms of the semantics, origin, and ontology of God’s Will. Ṭūsī maintains that will is the same as motive, which is the same as knowledge of the goodness of act, and thus believes in God’s essential will as an essential attribute. Mullā Ṣadrā also adds the sameness of love with will to the sameness of the knowledge of goodness of act with act and introduces will as an essential attribute. Moreover, he justifies the Infallible Imam’s narrations regarding the sameness of will with act by changing its meaning from having the intention to perform an act to the making and changing of its level from essence to the level of actual existents. However, ‘Allāmah Ṭabāṭabā’ī views the identity of free will with the knowledge of the best system as a verbal conflict and a merely different denomination. He disagrees with equating free will with any essential attribute (such as love) other than knowledge. Thus he maintains that free will is not an essential attribute but is, rather, abstracted from the level of act and is one of its attributes. He also introduces the essence of an act that occurs in the outside or the presence of perfect cause for the act as its source of abstraction. It seems that ٬Allāmah’s change of ontological view of free will and considering it an actual attribute in justifying rational constraints are more accurate than regarding it as an essential attribute without paying attention to the conceptual difference between free will and knowledge and love, which has been propounded by Ṭūsī and Mullā Ṣadrā.

The present paper examines Khwajah Naṣīr al-Dīn al-Ṭūsī’s cultural role in interacting with Hulagu Khān and the other elements involved in this cultural agreement. It also aims to explain how, through a correct perception of the cultural features and symbols of the Mongol ethnic group, Ṭūsī managed to overcome them in a cultural battle. At the same time, he exploited the Mongols’ interest in astronomy, which was a part of their culture, and strengthen the Imāmīyyah kalām regarding its epistemological dimension and the status of Shi‘ism in the political structure of Hulagu Khān’s government. The presence of Khwājah Naṣīr al-Dīn al-Ṭūsī meant that Imāmīyyah Kalām had now a representative in the political structure of the time after many centuries, and even some Mongols became interested in Islam. With the downfall of the caliphate of Baghdad, whether Ṭūsī played a role there or not, one of the supporters of Ash‘arī kalām disappeared, and Imāmīyyah groups were revived. Manuscript profile

Aristotle’s view regarding the emptiness or non-emptiness of the terms of propositions has been interpreted in two ways. In one of them, the terms of propositions always include an existing individual or some existing individuals and are non-empty. Therefore, in negative propositions, the collection of the individuals of the subject is never an empty collection either. Hence, there is no difference between negative and affirmative propositions regarding the necessity of the existence of individuals for their subjects. According to the other interpretation, in any proposition, whether negative or affirmative, its components should be first conceived and come into being through a mental existence. Then, if the proposition is an affirmative one, in addition to this mental concept, there should be an existing or supposedly existing individual to receive an affirmative judgment. However, in case of a negative proposition, except the mental existence of the proposition, which is necessary for passing judgment, there is no need for an existing or supposedly existing individual to receive the predicate attribute. Hence, there is a difference between affirmative and negative propositions in this regard. In his interpretation of negative propositions, Khwajah Nasir Tusi has paid attention to both aspects and considered each of the two interpretations to be correct in its own right. The first interpretation is ruled as a correct one given the propositions which are used in different sciences – and these propositions always depend on external truths. Moreover, the second interpretation is correct due to the absoluteness aspect of negative propositions, and also because a non-existent entity cannot be qualified with any quality, including the predicate attribute, since it is non-existent.

The subsistence of the soul after its parting with the body is one of the most challenging problems in the field of philosophy. This problem has been discussed by both philosophers who consider the soul to be pre-eternal and immaterial and philosophers who believe in the spiritual origination of the soul, and both groups have adduced various arguments in this regard. Khwajah Nasir al-Din Tusi, who is a Peripatetic philosopher, has posed the following question: Why, in the view of philosophers, are the body and bodily preparedness concomitant at the beginning of the origination of the soul but not at the stage of subsistence and separation? He has probed the response to this question in a treatise which he wrote about the subsistence of the soul. At the same time, he asked this question from his contemporary philosopher, Shams al-Din Khusrawshahi, but he did not receive a response. Mulla Muzaffar Hossein Kashani, who was contemporary with Mulla Sadra, asked him the same question, since it seems that the problem of the subsistence of the soul is apparently inconsistent with Mulla Sadra’s theory of corporeal origination. He provided a response to the question of Khwajah Nasir al-Din Tusi and Mulla Muzaffar on the basis of the fundamental principles of his own philosophy and defended the problem of the subsistence of the soul after its separation from the body.

Ibn Sīnā has provided two definitions for time, which Khwājah Naṣīr al-Dīn Ṭūsī believes to be circular. The first definition has appeared in Ibn Sīnā’s al-Ishārāt and introduces time as incompatible priority and posteriority. Some philosophers, such as Āqā Ḥussayn Khānsārī, believe that the circular nature of Ibn Sīnā’s definition of time in this book poses no problem because the concept of time is an axiom, and the existence of circularity in the definition of an axiom is natural. His other definition has been given in al-Shifā. Here, the nature of time is defined in the sense of a measure of motion as divided into prior and posterior components. In this definition, time contains disjunctive quantity (time as the number of motion) in addition to continuous quantity (time as amount of motion). The present paper aims to provide a clear picture of the definition of the nature of time in Ibn Sīnā’s view in his al-Ishārāt and al-Shifā in al-Ṭabi’iyyāt chapter. Following an analytic comparative study of Ibn Sīnā’s works, the author concludes that Khwājah Naṣīr al-Dīn Ṭūsī’s perception of Ibn Sīnā’s definitions of the nature of time were not inconsistent and, rather, he intended to provide another analysis of the truth of time.

Historical geography sources of the early and middle Islamic centuries have named two cities of, Fahraj and Aspi or Senij (current Nosrat Abad), which fall under prosperous cities on the outskirts of the desert and the route from Kerman to Sistan. Archeological studies of the Cultural Landscape Region of Bam explored the ancient Fahraj-to-Aspi route in the first half of the 2010s. Later studies identified the Biyaban-e-Gorg building. The themes raised in this research concern understanding the significance of the Fahraj-to-Aspi axis in the late Sasanid era until the end of the Seljuk era and the study of the function of the Biyaban-e-Gorg building and its date of construction. The present study uses the descriptive-analytical approach and gathers data via field surveys and library sources. The research goals are as follows: first, part of the ancient main route of Fars and Kerman to Sistan in the cultural landscape region of Bam is introduced, which is aimed at answering numerous historical ambiguities in the eastern civilization, and few measures taken to understanding the ancient axes of this area are also discussed; second, the use and period of construction of the Biyaban-e-Gorg building as an impressive building in the middle of the Fahraj-to-Aspi route, located in southeastern Iran, is investigated. The studied axis starts from Fahraj in the southern outskirts of the Lut Plain (Zangi Ahmad Lut) and leads to Aspi (Nosrat Abad) on the road measuring 150 km involving 4-5 settlements. The works identified on the axis include two large settlements, parts of the ancient cobblestone roads, ten castles and caravanserais, and two minarets. These works date back to the late Sasanid era until the end of the Seljuk reign. This important axis was used from the beginning of Islam until the end of the Seljuk dynasty. It was also part of the ancient Kerman-to-Sistan main route that broadly constituted part of the ancient Fars-to-Sistsan (Zerang) axis. The Biyaban-e-Gorg building was an excellent site in the middle of this route. This building has an octagonal sketch with eight towers in the corners and forty chambers around the atrium, and a caravanserai in the middle of the route. An explanation of the use and date of construction of this site not only helps understand the importance of the route under study but also complements a set of architectural evidence of caravanserais as well as castles in the Seljuk era, finally compensating for the lack of data and cultural-historical documents from this era.

25 - The Role of Religious Beliefs of Khwajah Naṣīr al-Dīn Ṭūsī in his Association with and Dissociation from the Ismā‘īlīs

A collection of factors underlay Khwajah Naṣīr al-Dīn Ṭūsī’s association with and dissociation from the Ismā‘īlī sect. This paper aims to disclose the role of his religious beliefs in his interactions with this religious sect. Ṭūsī’s education was completed in an atmosphere of Twelver Shi‘ite philosophy, but in his youth he was also disenchanted with the existing imitative beliefs and dogmatic emphasis on extrinsic features of Sharī‘ah. This led him to develop an interest in some Ismā‘īlī teachings such as their attention to the esoteric meaning of religious texts and join this sect in response to their invitation. Of course, the undesirable conditions in the political-religious geography of the east of the Islamic world had also limited Ṭūsī’s choices. Nevertheless, based on some historical reports of the time of his relationship with the Ismā‘īlīs and some of his works that had been written in conformity with Ismā‘īlī ideas, it can be said that he had some ideological disagreements with them after joining the sect. His reaction after his separation from the Ismā‘īlīs, whom he has introduced as atheists and non-Muslims in his Kalāmī books, demonstrate his ideological conflicts with this sect. In fact, Ṭūsī joined the Ismā‘īlīs in his youth because of his religious ideas and, later, separated from them for the same reason. He revealed his ideological opposition to them in his Kalāmī written works. Manuscript profile

در تاريخ سرزمين ما، ايران، ادوار و مقاطعي هست كه هنوز زوايا و ابعاد مهمي از آنها همچنان در تاريكي و ابهام باقي مانده و آگاهي و دانش ما دربارة آنها ناچيز است؛ ازجمله دورة موسوم به حمله و اشغال مغولان (ح654ـ 616 ق) كه برغم انجام تتبعات و پژوهشهاي گوناگون اجتماعي، سياسي، ادبي و فرهنگي، دست‌كم بلحاظ مختصات علمي اين دوره ـ شامل شيوه‌هاي آموزش، وضعيت مدارس، چگونگي نگارش آثار علمي و ادبي، كتابخانه‌ها و حتي فهرست جامعي از عالمان و دانشمندان ـ آگاهي ما نسبت به آن اندك است. از جهت داده‌هاي مربوط به «تاريخ فلسفه» ـ ‌و در معناي عام آن، علوم عقلي ـ از نقش كساني چون خواجه‌نصيرالدين طوسي (672ـ 597 ق) گزارشها و نوشته‌هاي بسياري به زبانهاي مختلف در دست است، ليكن همچنان ناگفته‌هاي بسياري در اين زمينه وجود دارد كه نيازمند تتبّع و پژوهش گسترده‌تري است. اهميت خواجه نصير و نقش او در حفظ ميراث علمي ايران و اسلام (تأسيس رصدخانه و كتابخانه مراغه، تجميع آثار علمي از نقاط مختلف، دعوت از عالمان و دانشمندان در زمينه‌هاي مختلف علمي، نگارش آثاري جاويدان در فلسفه و رياضي و كلام و هيئت و ...) تنها بخشي از خدمات علمي اين چهره بزرگ تاريخ ماست؛ ابتكار و نوآوريهاي او در دانشهاي عصر ـ بويژه فلسفه و كلام ـ آنهم در زمانه وحشت و ناامني ناشي از حملة مغول، نيازمند بازخواني و معرفي جديد است. توجه كنيم! رام كردن و انقياد قومي كه از دانش و فرهنگ و زندگي شهري و آداب تمدني دور بودند، در دشتها و بروي پشت اسبها پرورش يافته و از هجوم و غارت و آتش زدن خانه و كاشانه مردمان لذت ميبردند، كار آساني نبود؛ آنهم براي دانشمندي كه ميبايست از سويي در قلاع اسماعيلي دست به نگارش اخلاق ناصری زده و برخي ماجراجوييها و رفتارهاي افراطي سران اسماعيلي را مهار كند و از سويي ديگر، در دربار هلاكوخان مغول، ضمن تمشيت و تدبير امور، به اصلاح و آباداني و انتشار علوم اهتمام ورزد و در كنار همة اين امور، امنيت نفوس و ذخاير مادي و معنوي دارالاسلام را تأمين كند. هركدام از اينها بتنهايي برگي درخشان در كارنامة حيات علمي، سياسي و اجتماعي يك چهرة ماندگار بحساب مي‌آيد. خدمات خواجه در حوزة علوم عقلي دست‌كم از دو جهت چشمگير و بلكه يگانه و بيهمتاست: 1. آنگونه كه در تراجم آمده است، خواجه در عنفوان جواني، فلسفه را در نيشابور با آثار شيخ‌الرئيس فرا گرفت و تا بدانجا پيش رفت كه يكي از معروفترين شروح و تعليقات را بر اشارات و تنبيهات ابن‌سينا نگاشت كه اكنون با گذشت پيش از هفت قرن از زمان نگارش آن، همچنان بعنوان يكي از منابع و مآخذ مهم علوم عقلي و حكمت سينوي بشمار ميرود. شرح و تعليقه خواجه نوشته‌يي همعرض ساير تعليقات نيست، از اين جهت كه از يكسو مشكلات و غوامض متن فشردة شيخ‌الرئيس را باز ميكند و از سويي ديگر حملات و نقدهاي گزنده فخر رازي، بنمايندگي از گروه كثيري از متكلمان متصلّب و عقل‌‌ستيز را پاسخ ميدهد؛ آنهم در زمانه‌يي كه چراغ حكمت و فلسفه كم‌فروغ يا حتي بيفروغ بود و دفاع از عقل و علوم عقلي به قيمت جان آدمي تمام ميشد! اهتمام خواجه به علوم عقلي محدود و منحصر به شرح اشارات نيست؛ در ساير نوشته‌هاي علمي او نيز روش استدلالي و برهاني غلبه يافته و گويي وي خود را مكلّف به تجديد حيات فلسفه و روش عقلي در زمانه غربت آن ميدانسته است. 2. اگرچه دربارة مذهب كلامي خواجه ـ آنهم با عنايت به ارتباط وي با اسماعيليان‌ ـ اظهار نظرهاي مختلفي شده است، ليكن آنچه مسلّم است، نگارش اثري مانند تجريد الاعتقاد از يكسو و پرورش دانشمندان و عالمان بزرگي چون علامه حلّي و ابن‌ميثم بحراني (شارح نهج‌البلاغه) از سويي ديگر نميتواند در تعيين سمت و سوي اعتقادي خواجه بي‌اثر باشد؛ گذشته از آن شيوة نگارش و پردازش آراء و عقايد كلامي اماميه در تجريد الاعتقاد و دفاع كم‌نظير خواجه از عقايد مذهب حقّه بروش برهاني و استدلالي، جاي هيچگونه ترديدي در تشخيص تعلق خاطر نويسنده باقي نميگذارد. از اينرو بجرئت ميتوان گفت خواجه قهرماني بيبديل و احياگر سنت فلسفي و حكمي عالم اسلام در قرن هفتم و آموزگاري بزرگ در انتقال آموزه‌هاي اعتقادي شيعه اثني عشري است. اين معنا در حكم كلياتي است براي پژوهشهاي تفصيلي در تاريخ علوم و دانشهاي ايران و عالم اسلام كه اميد است پژوهشگران جوان با همت خود افقها و داده‌هاي جديدي را در اين زمينه عرضه بدارند.

28 - A Study of the Historical Development of the Notion of Platonic-Aristotelean Agape and Love in Fārābī and Ṭūsī (In the Realm of Human Relationships)

The present study provides a description and analysis of the historical development of the notion of Aristotelean-Platonic agape (love) in the philosophical thoughts of Fārābī and Khwājah Nasīr al-Dīn Ṭūsī. Following a historical method, the author deals with the reasons behind this development in addition to describing it. The discussion of friendship (agape) in Aristotle’s philosophy is propounded in his Nichomachean Ethics, where some traces of Platonic notion are also observable. This discussion was transformed in Islamic Philosophy in certain respects, including the variety of the beloved (and the most beloved), individualistic or socialist aspect, and selfishness or selflessness aspect. Regarding the variety of the beloved, the discussion has moved from virtue-based friendship (agape) to the love of the Wise (God). As to its range, one can observe a change of dialog form social-political friendship to agape as an internal characteristic with individual and social effects. Moreover, it has moved beyond selfishness and selflessness and, in conformity with the principle of congruence, reached the love from Him (Godly). The influential views of such thinkers as Plotinus; the role of religion, culture, and gnosis, and the ideas of Ibn Sīnā, Ibn Miskawayh, and Suhrawardī are of great importance in explaining this development. The particular philosophical and Kalāmī principles of Fārābī and Ṭūsī as well as some of their ethical views are the most important factors in the interpretation of the underlying reasons of the mentioned development.

The historical investigation shows that the problematic of technology and civilization is one of the fundamental issues that were raised especially between the first and second world wars in Germany, and after that history, it has also found a wide resonance in Iran's intellectual space at different times. One of the most important formulations of this issue dates back to the 1950s, when in a wide cultural-political turn from the 1940s to the 1950s, the issue of technology and civilization was placed at the top of the intellectual issues of the government and the opposition. Contrary to the common perception, this issue did not remain at the theoretical level at that point and led to important strategic and executive decisions at the policy and governance levels. Among the most important of these cases is the installation of Seyyed Hossein Nasr, a traditionalist Islamic philosopher, as the vice president of Aryamhar Royal University of Technology (now Sharif) from 1351 to 1354, which has not yet been subjected to historical and analytical evaluation. This research deals with the main question of how to explain the appointment of a traditionalist philosopher as the head of the country's leading technological university at the height of the Pahlavi regime's modernization Manuscript profile

30 - Investigation of the relationship between tectonic morphological indices and seismic acceleration in Indes, Aipak, Avaj and Kushk-e-Nusrat fault zones (northwest of Saveh)

The northwest zone of Saveh city is located in the Indes, Kooshk e Nosrat, Avaj, and Aipak fault zones. Indes, Kooshk e Nosrat, Avaj, and Aipak faults are considered the major faults in central Iran, which are also active in the Quaternary, and their last movements are More

The northwest zone of Saveh city is located in the Indes, Kooshk e Nosrat, Avaj, and Aipak fault zones. Indes, Kooshk e Nosrat, Avaj, and Aipak faults are considered the major faults in central Iran, which are also active in the Quaternary, and their last movements are attributed to the present time. Therefore, the estimation of morphometry to identify the effect of active tectonics on the tectonic evolution of drainage basins seems necessary. In this study, six important morphotectonic indices were analyzed including the longitudinal gradient of the river, asymmetry of the drainage basin, hypsometric integral, drainage basin shape, the ratio of the floor width to the valley height, and mountain front. To model the formation of basins in the studied area, Arc Hydro software (Arc GIS add-ins) was used based on data derived from a digital elevation model. Then, 6 morphotectonic indices were compiled and classified on each of the basins. Finally, the Active Tectonic Index (IAT) was calculated, according to which the study area was classified into 4 categories including very high, high, intermediate, and low tectonic activity. According to the IAT index, 5% of the study area shows very high tectonic activity, 25% of the studied area has high tectonic activity, 65% of it has average tectonic activity and about 5% of the tectonic activity is low. Moreover, seismic acceleration was prepared to confirm the result of morphological indices in the estimation and analysis of active tectonics in the region. In this study, the highest level of tectonic activity can be seen in the north-eastern part of the area. In most sectors, the level of activity is high and intermediate, which is related to the activity of Kooshk-e-Nosrat, Aipak, and Avaj faults. Manuscript profile
