We read in the note written by the Editor-in-chief of this specialized Quarterly in this issue that Aristotle did not teach philosophy. Rather, he organized the most important of evident principles of general philosophy in the form of laws. He did so similar to what scholars in the field of literature do; they do not teach how to speak; they merely devise the grammatical rules for speaking. That is why many people have a good knowledge of logical principles and grammar but cannot think well and cannot speak correctly. In other words, in order to think and speak appropriately, there are some other factors which are more important than learning the method of reasoning. Human sciences represent the domain of the greater power and knowledge of the East and our beloved Islamic country, Iran, in relation to the field of civilization. That is why Iran holds the first rank among the top ten ancient civilizations in the world. According to the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Republic of Iran, Ayatullah Khamenei, “All sciences in a society indeed function as a body whose soul is humanities.” This specialized Quarterly is now available to interested readers at a price of 50,000 rials. It also contains the English translation of the abstracts of the papers published in this issue. Those who wish to buy this Quarterly can contact the Publication Center of the Sadra Islamic Philosophy Research Institute at 0098-21-88153594.
