Ketabkhaneye Tarikhe Ma, shariati.nimeharf.com. — 10 p.Шариати А. Свобода, равенство, мистицизм (на англ. и перс. яз.)I should like to propose that we, in effect, step out of our sectarian limitations and explore the world in which we now live, and the nature and the humanity that dwell in that world. Nature and humanity are two very basis subjects; there is no doubt about that. In order to explore these two subjects and their interrelation, and so explore the life and movement of man, we should consider all the intellectual schools and experiences that in the course of history have come forward as religion, philosophy, or various other fields of human thought and action. In correlating all these, we arrive at three basic currents; all other matters prove to be either branches of these three or else altogether unrelated ad secondary questions. These three basic currents, then, are mysticism, equality, and freedom.
