Dr. Shariati's Thoughts; From Multi-disciplinary to Inter-disciplinary

Interdisciplinary can be considered as an advantage when it has a certain relation with scientific and epistemic facilities in a society. In contemporary Iran، some of these facilities are the heritage of our religious intellectualism، and considering interdisciplinary phenomenon، they may be used in scientific and methodological fields، and somehow in academic policy-making. The heritage of Ali Shariati’s intellectualism – as a thing that cannot be rejected in terms of language، theoretical value، and attraction to students in our thought framework – contains the basis for multi-disciplinary and inter-disciplinary thought. Therefore، having multi-disciplinary knowledge، Shariati discuses subjects such as human، history، land، and identity – which cannot be explained properly using a mere field of study – in an inter-disciplinary method. The canon of Shariti’s inter-disciplinary thought can be discussed in the concept of “fixed-variable”. This paper conducts a hermeneutical analysis of the interdisciplinary facilities in Shariati’s intellectualism base on “fixed-variable” challenge. The result indicates that interdisciplinary can be a base for making human sciences indigenous in Iran. If we take into account the interdisciplinary based on historical and social facts، the real epistemic and thinking challenges will be revealed and interdisciplinary can be expanded.
