Prophecy from the science of beliefs to the philosophy of history

If the general human construction of prophecy has revealed its "apparent" origin, it seems as if its specific doctrinal construction only reveals its "abstract" appearance. While prophecy in the first is a "dialogue" between the "divine" and the "human," in the second it appears as a "divine" discourse whose human condition is mostly absent. The idea of "prophecy" in its traditional sense originates from the "divine" and ends with the "human"; however, through the ideological epistemological framework of Islamic theological sects, it has become one of the most important points of disagreement among these sects. From this starting point, the author in this research attempts first to trace the general anthropological structure of prophecy through language and history; second, to examine the specific doctrinal structure of prophecy by exploring the Shiite "Imam" theory — including the denial of the idea of prophecy — then studying the meaning of prophecy among the Asharites, and analyzing the subconscious Asharite perspective towards prophecy, as well as reading the Mu'tazilite perspective with an aim toward development and completion. All of this is connected through broad lines of contact linking the historical and the human.
