Ontological dimensions of post-foundational political thought and Reinvention of the Political(مقاله علمی وزارت علوم)
حوزههای تخصصی:
Between two spectrums of foundationalism and anti- foundationalism, ideas called post- foundationalist have emerged in the field of politics. They neither emphasize fixed and unchangeable foundations like foundationalists, nor do they consider everything variable like anti- foundationalists. They seek to reinterpret, in a process of dialogue and exchange, the foundations that have come to them as givens or precipitated in democratic societies, within the framework of temporal changes. In this way, a new experience has opened up for us from Western thought. Now the main question is whether it is possible to find a fixed foundation in this type of thought in which change in that is not recognized? By examining these ideas, and focusing on the thoughts of two important thinkers, John Rawls and Ernesto Laclau, we find that there are dimensions of political ontology among these ideas that are considered as red lines. Dimensions that can be called democratic political ontology. Now, in the next step, we should ask ourselves whether this experience can be used in defining The Islamic Political or not? By examining this type of political thought, we can claim that there is a way to present an Islamic political ontology and ultimately create a concept of The Islamic political. In a way that both religious principles are taken into account and changes in Muslim societies are recognized and, so to speak, channeled. In this article, this possibility is examined and the extraction of the foundations of Islamic political ontology is postponed to another text.
