علی شریعتی و بومی‌سازی علوم

In this essay, the authors briefly discuss the views of those who question the relevance of indigenous science in Iran. Then, the positions of thinkers who have taken issue with Shari’ati’s viewpoint on indigenous science are appraised. Afterwards, the fields that Shari’ati describes for his scientific model are probed. The most important of them are: the impact of culture on science, the role of researcher in science, and the distinction of science and philosophy. Then, the authors reflect upon the necessity of indigenous science by working through the discourses on “critique of modern science”, on the one hand, and the pivotal relevance of science, on the other hand. The meaning of indigenous science in Shari’ati’s viewpoint, the area of indigenizing and the method of doing that are the last subjects of this article. Finally the authors conclude by arguing that Shari’ati is one of the first thinkers that propounded the necessity of indigenous science in the Iranian context.
