“…As Katajun Amirpur has noted, Shabestari introduced the term hermeneutic to Iranian academic centres in the fields of the humanities in the 1990s and 2000s to the extent that this term was even used by clerics. 57 Shabestari seems to have been aware of Gadamer's ideas even in his early academic career. As noted by Wielandt, in the years 1970-1978, Shabestari 'acquired deep familiarity with modern Western, in particular German, philosophy, studying, for instance, Kant's epistemology and Gadamer's hermeneutics'.…”

Although the German philosopher Hans-Georg Gadamer was not a religious thinker or theologian, his work and approach have influenced thinkers in the field of theology. This article explores some ‘overlaps’ between Gadamerian hermeneutics and the ideas of some contemporary Muslim scholars such as Nasr Hamid Abu Zayd, Abdolkarim Soroush, Muhammad Mujtahed Shabestari and Hassan Hanafi regarding issues of textual interpretation and understanding. In particular, the article seeks to understand how such ideas have appeared in these Muslim scholars’ approaches to interpreting the Qurʾan. It also explores some of the implications that follow from incorporating Gadamer’s ideas into Islamic theological and political discourses. The article argues that the application of Gadamer’s hermeneutic philosophy to the realm of Qurʾanic studies is not only fruitful insofar as it provides new insights into the interpretation of the Qurʾan, but also has important consequences for Islamic theological and political discourses more broadly.
