The contemporary Shiite deconstructionist school

Author: Dr. Ahmed Qushati Abdulrahim Binding: Cover Parts: One Paper: Shamooh Size: 17×24 Summary: The Twelver Shiism has not stopped dividing, and the emergence of different trends throughout its long history. It is important to follow the Twelver doctrine in its modern and contemporary developments, and to monitor the most prominent schools, ideas, and figures that appeared during that period. This book focuses on a contemporary model of those divisions, through its discussion of the modern Shiite deconstructivist school, starting with an introduction to it, then discussing its emergence, its prominent figures, its development, and the main principles and opinions it advocated. This school is considered a relatively new trend, first appearing in Iran and then spreading outside, influencing several known Shiite scholars. It is characterized by adopting a deconstructive methodology among three epistemological paths: the Qur'anic, the mystical, and the philosophical. It took a strongly critical stance against the philosophical mystical school, which reached its peak expansion under Khomeini.
