Abstract: (64 Views) |
The Qur’anic School movement in Kurdistan, during the 1970s, emerged under the leadership of Moftizadeh and in response to the challenges faced by the religious subject, the government, and the Islamic community. This study, employing an interpretive-critical method and inspired by Michel Foucault’s concept of the "regime of truth," examines the process of constructing the religious subject within the Qur’anic School. The main research question is: through what processes has the Qur’anic School shaped the religious subject within the framework of its regime of truth?
The research shows that by constructing its own regime of truth, It established the foundational framework of the school, which made the formation of the (school-based) religious subject possible. Within this regime of truth, the school designated sources such as the Qur’an, Sunnah, and consensus as the basis for creating the subject and proceeded to articulate the religious subject. Accordingly, the religious subject was able to recognize its own ‘others.’ Furthermore, under the logic of difference and equivalence, different types of subjects in the school’s regime of truth—such as the believer, the disbeliever, and the hypocrite were distinguished from one another. Ultimately, relationships among subjects were defined along three dimensions: theological, ethical, and political.
