OPEN-MINDEDNESS IN THE SHIITE SEMINARIES:

PERSONALIZED OR INSTITUTIONALIZED?

Although the issue of open-mindedness has been recommended and attended to by the religious instructions, it has always encountered challenges. This article deals with the way through which such an issue got formed in the context of the Shiite clerical community and seminary schools and it also examines the reasons behind the challenges faced by a lot of open-minded scholars. The author claims that open-mindedness in the Shiite clerical organization has constantly been a personal concern and it has never elevated to a level as an institutional concern; therefore, open-mindedness has been taken into account just by a limited number of scholars. In this case, the Shiite clerical organization should set out to diagnose the problems in this regard and pave the ground for the expansion and improvement of Islamic sciences through an official and institutional support of open mindedness. The issue of open-mindedness should get institutionalized in the clerical organization and it should be promoted from its personal status quoto an institutional and organizational stage.
