A Critical Analysis of the Baṭn (esoteric meaning) Theory in Tafsīr al-Mīzān, with Regard to Tafsīr al-Furqān

The commentators and traditionists have long focused on the theory that Qur’ān has multiple Buṭūn (esoteric meanings). Most of the commentators believe that the Baṭn can be revealed by the exegetical narrations. Therefore, in interpreting Qur’ān, they have referred to narrations to express these Buṭūn. In their commentaries on some of the Qur’ānic verses, the contemporary Shiite commentators have referred to the Buṭūn of the verses based on the available narrations and have mentioned different types of Buṭūn and Ta'wīls (Hermeneutic Interpretation). There were some fundamental and practical disagreements among commentators about these narrations as well. This study investigates the Baṭn theory in Tafsīr al-Mīzān with regard to Tafsīr al-Furqān.

Dealing With Unintended Consequences

Well-intentioned interventions can sometimes have negative or, if you will, undesired effects. Because the overall approach of this book is systemic in nature, the authors devoted some time to discuss “unintended consequences” and to suggest some ways to anticipate them and in cases circumvent them. This chapter addresses some of the unintended consequences that happen when intervening in a dynamic social environment. It provides examples of how unexpected outcomes and side effects that overshadow positive contributions take place as people and organizations design and execute social interventions. Though not all unintended consequences are negative; here they share a case where the unintended consequences were positive and desirable, which allows them to argue that unintended consequences can be both positive and negative. In this chapter, they draw heavily on dynamical systems theory as understood by Coleman, and on the coordinated management of meaning theory, as suggested by Pearce.
