Abstract

this article proceeds to examine the scientific trend in 14th century exegeses as well as historical development of scientific trend, dimensions and expansion of viewpoints approving and disapproving it. reminding central verses in scientific interpretat ion of the quran, comparison of scientific trends in shi"ah and sunni interpretaions as well as scientists’ welcome to scientific interpretation of the quran, the author examines various applications of sciences in exegesis and while examining the outloo k of revelation on scientific exegesis and touching upon the language of the quran and the existing outlooks in thse regard, he makes the conclusion that the quran, due to its dynamism, can be well-adjusted and coordinated with any idea originated from r eality. thus the language of science, which tends toward fact-finding and realism, can have an exegesis-oriented contact with revelation.
