An Introduction to Research Center of Political Sciences and Thought
A short historyResearch Center of Political Sciences and Thought (RCPST) was set up in 1994 to research in Islamic political thought. Using seminary and university scientific capabilities, it has thus far taken long affective steps towards reviving Islamic political sciences. Basing its programs on the Islamic Propagation Office of Qom Seminary (IPOQ)’s 20-year perspective document, RCPST plans to face intellectual challenges confronting its domain of study and prepare the ground to reproduce religio-political thought, to present political science on the basis of Islamic sources, to recognize and build identity in political philosophy, political jurisprudence and political sciences. What follows is an introduction to RCPST’s aims, obligations, policies and history. Main goals1. To explain Islamic political science. 2. To attain Islamic science. 3. To explain Islamic political system through strengthening and developing Islamic political thought. 4. To evaluate Islamic political heritage. 5. To compare and evaluate competing political schools of thought. 6. To answer fundamental questions and meet intellectual and political challenges rising in the spheres of religious culture and intellectual basis of the Islamic system. Policies1. To lay emphasis on Islamic original principles and to avoid eclecticisms and petrification. 2. To pay attention to political life of modern man. 3. To pay attention to modern problems and new religious or religiosity demands in social and political spheres. 4. To have active participation in the process of Islamic political sciences in Iranian society. 5. To move towards specializing departments and research fields. 6. To give priority to collective works in political science. Research departmentsThere are presently three research departments active at RCPST, which are as follows: 1. Department of political sciences. 2. Department of political philosophy. 3. Department of political jurisprudence. Department of political sciences studies on political sociology, political psychology, international relations, local studies, political and geo-political geography, political history, political anthropology, political economics, public policy-making, Islamic world and political methodology. Department of political jurisprudence focuses on philosophy of political jurisprudence (descriptive and prescriptive), sociology of political jurisprudence, history of political jurisprudence, pathology and evaluation of political jurisprudence and comparative studies. It will also deal with problems related to political jurisprudence till it becomes an independent department. Department of political philosophy is concerned with political philosophy, political theology, political mysticism, political morality, political anthropology, political methodology, and political epistemology.
