Abstract

To understand and criticize each theory, there are different practices and procedures. Three of these methods are common: understanding concerning the theoretical fundamentals, understanding with focusing on the ideas and finally understanding with references to results. In this paper, the method of understanding and analyzing the theories based on their theoretical fundamentals is introduced. By taking advantage of interdisciplinary studies and inspired by quantum physics, this method has been named as quantum hermeneutics. In the hermeneutics of quantum, theory should not be understood as one single essence or set of statements in relation to the context, the author or the reader, but the theory should be understand via breaking through its theoretical fundamentals (quantums) and then understood it as a continuum of quantums in a theoretical field. The theoretical fundamentals divided to ontology, anthropology, epistemology and teleology. The first step for the Islamic humanities is to apply the quantum hermeneutic method to the understanding and critique of existing knowledge.
