Read More Francis Bacon's ideas, as one of the harbingers of modern science, have been the source of many philosophical reflections in various philosophical fields, especially in the field of practical philosophy and questions related to ethics and law. With his ideal plan of the future world, which is based on humans achieving the greatest blessings in life and its image is depicted in works such as The New Atlantis, Bacon tried to formulate a program for industrial intervention and technical productivity of nature, through which the deficiencies and deprivations of human life, such as war, poverty and disease, would be eliminated and, with the return of human authority, the ground would be prepared for the achievement of an earthly paradise without violence and suffering for human beings, in which all of nature is at the service of human welfare. However, this ideal plan has aroused serious criticism from critics because it has caused countless human and environmental disasters in the modern era. By criticizing Bacon's ideal of sovereignty and dominance over nature, Hans Jonas has called on modern societies to abandon this ideal and deal responsibly with nature in order to preserve and protect it. Because this ideal has made the technical use of nature in order to achieve good and benefit for human life and to lay the groundwork for his sovereignty as a principle and has had an optimistic view of the ideal of an earthly paradise, while it has not paid attention to its negative consequences, including the separation of man from nature and his sovereignty over nature. Therefore, this approach must be changed and turned from anthropocentrism to physiocentrism and modern man, as a moral agent, must comply with the imperative of responsibility towards nature, which entails both moral and legal obligations towards nature. This article, by addressing some opinions on Bacon's ideal, shows that a distinction must be made between his ideal and his program to better understand its positive and negative consequences.

Read More In his book Kitab al-Şaydana, Abu Rayḥān Bῑrūnῑ, when recalling the weakness of the Persian language in comparison to the Arabic language, states that the Persian language is only good for telling nightly tales and narrating stories for kings, and not for presenting precise scientific and philosophical discussions and issues. Although Abu Rayhan stated this at a time when the Dari Persian language was still in the early stages of its life, and if he were to judge the Persian language two or three hundred years later, he would not have issued such a ruling, nevertheless, what he said is not without truth. In fact, if we want to express Abu Rayhan’s statement fairly, we should say that the Persian language throughout its life has made more use of literary techniques and poetic imaginations and has demonstrated its skill in the field of literature, and even when it has wanted to express philosophical concepts, it has still used allegorical stories and metaphors and what mystics and Sufis have called the language of allusion, and this has been a characteristic of the Persian language and the mentality of those who used it. This judgment that we mentioned as a characteristic of the Persian language is true both in ancient times, in the Avestan period, and in Middle Persian during the Sasanian period. One of the most vibrant and dynamic allusive expressions that has been common among Iranian philosophers and mystics both in Middle Persian and in the modern era is the expression “sea.” This name, which was used in ordinary Persian language in a known sense, has been used by Iranian scholars and mystics to refer to heavenly things and divine attributes, as well as their opposites, i.e., demonic attributes. Of course, in the pre-Islamic period, Iranian sages used the sea to name the universals that exist in the heavenly realm, which Plato and the Platonists call Forms, and in the Islamic period, our mystics mainly considered it to refer to divine attributes or states and stages of the soul, and moral perfections and vices. In this article, which is divided into two parts, we will first try to examine the meaning that was intended for “sea” in the Middle Persian language, especially in the sixth book of the Denkard, and then we will examine the function of this word in the works and sayings of Persian-speaking mystics, from Bāyazῑd Basṭāmῑ and Abu al-Ḥasan Kharqānῑ to writers and poets such as Rashid al-Din Maybodῑ and Farid al-Dῑn Aṭṭār.

The Answer to the Problem of Evil Based on Some Avestan Texts and Narrations from Ishrāqī Wisdom

Read More The problem of evil, as one of the most challenging issues in the philosophy of religion, has always driven scholars and thinkers to explore diverse theological and philosophical approaches across different civilizations. This article, aiming to provide a comparative analysis of how the problem of evil is addressed, examines two distinct intellectual traditions: In the first section, relying on the Avestan texts, it is explained how Zoroastrianism, by introducing the dual principle of good (Ahura Mazda/Spenta Mainyu) and evil (Angra Mainyu/Ahriman) from eternity, views the problem of evil not as a result of divine deficiency or inaction, but as a consequence of a cosmic struggle between two independent origins. This eternal duality presents evil as having an independent and real source, and while offering a clear answer to the origin of evil, it faces challenges such as undermining divine omnipotence. In the second section, the article explores the approach of Suhrawardi’s Illuminationist philosophy (Hikmat al-Ishraq). Suhrawardi, contrary to the Zoroastrian view, does not consider evil as an existing entity with an independent origin. He divides evils into two main categories: privative and relative evils, and natural and essential evils. This article attempts to answer the questions of the problem of evil by examining the general principles of the ontological system of Zoroastrianism and Suhrawardῑ’s Illuminationist philosophy, such as the non-existence (privation) of evil, possibility, deficiency, and causality as ontological sources of evil, and the necessity of temporal movement of beings in the material world from deficiency to perfection and from potentiality to actuality within the context of time as the quality of the manifestation of evils. The article ultimately concludes that both traditions strive to offer a coherent response to the problem of evil. The Avestan texts, by accepting the eternal existence of evil, bestow upon it an independent nature, whereas Illuminationist philosophy, by emphasizing the non-existence of evil and its place in the best possible system (orim) explains evil as a secondary and dependent aspect of good."
