Abstract

In the field of futurology research in the revelatory texts, various research works have been done in academic centers. What has been paid less attention in these researches is dealing with the presuppositions that should be taken into consideration. The futurological understanding of the revelatory text, as its name suggests, is based on the three pillars of the quiddity of understanding, the quiddity of future, and the quiddity of the revelatory text. In other words, depending on what understanding and perception we have of the phenomenon of understanding itself, what perception and imagination we have of the future, and how we consider the revelatory text as a text and what we should expect from it, makes our futurological understanding different. In this regard, in the first part of the article, an attempt is made to address the point that the researches that have been carried out in the futurological field are based on what perception and expectation of the Holy Qur'an and how this perception and expectation can be used in futurological studies. In the next section, we are focused on the concept of the future and how the understanding of the future that emerges in different paradigms affects the futurological understanding of the revelatory text. In the next section, we are focused on the concept of the future and how the understanding of the future that emerges in different paradigms affects the futurist's understanding of the revelatory text. This study shows that the concept of the future has been moving from something objective, rigid and external to something subjective and rooted in people's beliefs today.

Abstract [Persian]

در حوزه آینده پژوهی در متون وحیانی تاکنون کارهای پژوهشی متنوعی در مراکز دانشگاهی به انجام رسیده است. آنچه در این پژوهش ها کمتر مورد توجه قرار گرفته است، پرداختن به پیش فرض هایی می باشد که در آن می باید مدّ نظر قرار گیرد. فهم آینده پژوهانه از متن وحیانی، همانطور که از نام آن پیداست، مبتنی بر سه پایة چیستیِ فهم، چیستیِ آینده و چیستی متن وحیانی می باشد. به عبارت دیگر، بسته به آنکه چه درک و برداشتی از خودِ پدیدة فهم داشته باشیم، چه برداشت و تصوری از آینده داشته باشیم و متن وحیانی را چگونه متنی بدانیم و چه انتظاری از آن داشته باشیم، فهم آینده پژوهانه ایی که از آن می شود، متفاوت خواهد بود.

در این راستا، در بخش نخست مقاله سعی می شود تا به این نکته پرداخته شود که پژوهش هایی که در حوزه آینده پژوهشی انجام شده اند بر پایه چه برداشت و انتظاری از قرآن مجید انجام شده اند و چگونگی این برداشت و انتظاری، چطور می تواند مطالعات آینده پژوهانه را تحت تاثیر قرار دهد. در بخش بعدی بر روی مفهوم آینده متمرکز شده ایم و اینکه که چگونه فهمی که از آینده، در پارادایم های مختلف پدید می آید، فهم آینده پژوهانه از متن وحیانی را تحت تاثیر قرار می گیرد. این بررسی نشان می دهد که مفهوم آینده از امری عینی، صلب و بیرونی به سمت امری ذهنی و ریشه دار در باورهای امروز آدمی در حال حرکت بوده است.
