Explaining the principles and methods of Allameh Tabatabai in facing liberalism; as a rival discourse of the Islamic revolution

Allameh Tabatabayi, relying on the rational and revelatory foundations of Shiite Islamic culture, confronted the opinions and discourses of his era, including liberalism, theoretically and practically. This research, with a descriptive and analytical method, aims to analyze and present his theoretical and practical encounter with liberalism by referring to his written sources, documents and works. In this confrontation he uses: a) ontological principles of realism, gradationality of existence and causality, b) epistemological principles of effectiveness of the tools of knowledge, including sense, reason, and revelation, and c) anthropological principles of two-dimensionality of human being, human nature by a precise and systematic presentation. Allameh`s practical encounter includes forming intellectual and scientific circles such as: the circle of interpretation of the Holy Quran and .., spreading the teachings of Quran, Sunnah and Wisdom.
