The Relationship between Science and Religion in Post-Revolutionary Iran. "Sociological Judgment of Narratives"

Contemporary Iran, especially after the Islamic Revolution of Iran, has faced the issue of the relationship between science and religion. Religious science and scientific religion have the same form despite different content. The "Science and Religion" narrative is the third narrative, which has a different form and consciously tries not appendage science or religion, but this narrative also remains ideological due to the naturalization of the cultural issue. Using the method of narrative analysis, the text of the three representatives of these formations in post-revolutionary Iran is read. The purpose of this methodical reading is to reveal the ideological features of these narratives. Judging the validity of these narratives is necessary to distinguish more ideological narratives from less ideological ones. The result of this article is a sociological attempt to de-ideologize the relationship between science and religion. Two principles are created as criteria of judgment in such a way that science and religion cannot be appendage and at the same time they cannot be naturalized.
