The Persian-language book Education in the Modern Islamic Civilization: An Analysis from the Perspective of the Need-Fulfillment System, authored by Ali Khalili, has been published by Imam Hossein Comprehensive University Press and is now available to scholars in the fields of civilizational studies and the philosophy of education.
Centered on the macro-horizon of the “modern Islamic civilization,” Education in the Modern Islamic Civilization undertakes a critical re-examination of the role and function of the educational institution in its encounter with modern civilizational paradigms. Throughout this research, the author posits that the realization of Islamic civilizational horizons necessitates the introduction of constructive and foundational models across all domains of individual and collective life. Therefore, the institutional structures, curricula, and processes within the education system demand a fundamental redesign and redefinition rooted in Islamic teachings.
The analytical core of Education in the Modern Islamic Civilization utilizes the “Need-Fulfillment System” framework to conduct a diagnostic analysis of established educational structures and to propose an alternative paradigm. The author characterizes this study as an initial endeavor toward transitioning away from imported educational models, aiming instead to conceptualize an institutional pedagogical framework tailored to the imperatives of Islamic community-building.
