Imagination as a common language of humanities"

Analytical definition and recognition of the concept of imagination and understanding of its basics is a priority for any study. Also, in order to clarify the quality of appearance and transformations of imagination, its structure should be explained. Identifying and paying attention to the world of imagination from an existential point of view and emphasizing its epistemological implications, as well as developing the capacity of imagination in human beings, from an epistemic point of view, is one of the honors of Islamic philosophers and mystics. Imagination is a valuable ontological, epistemological and anthropological capacity and ability in Islamic thought. Imagination also has methodological aspects that this article seeks to explain. The concept of imagination can shape indigenous and Islamic humanities. Imagination has an identity, critical and creative nature and thus promotes interdisciplinary research. Especially the concept of political and social imagination and paying attention to its power of symbolization will be able to explain various aspects of life in the Iranian Islamic world and pave the way for future research.

Result:
Imagination is not a mass influx of spontaneous representations, effects and desires, none of which has superiority over the other, but rather it has a specific basis and criteria. Imagination is not unrealistic and fantasy, and it is based on human morality and emphasizes human effectiveness. Human sciences also proceed with imagination and are imaginative creations. Society is built with imagination. In this way, society and human sciences gradually become one. Human society needs creativity and an active construction, and with the power of imagination, it can be built to achieve ideals. Of course, this creativity and creation does not mean that there is no predetermined goal in the world. Necessity and purpose exist in history, and human free will is accompanied by the existence of a definite purpose in the future. Therefore, real identity and original understandings are formed in the future. The discussion of imagination is a kind of openness and horizon opening towards the future and creates critical power. Humanities do not exist without an understanding of the future and are waiting for the future. Human sciences based on imagination have a positive relationship with time and seek their truth in time. Time always paves the way for humanities.
Imagination is formed for a future goal, although it is the goal itself. Like the concept of waiting, which is both a goal and for another goal. Social institutions that are built with imagination are for another purpose and cannot be stopped in them. Like the institution of the family, which is formed as a means to complete the individuality of people and should not sacrifice individuality. The government and the political affairs should not cause the destruction of individuality. The conflict between the mind and society and the imposition of the historical and social world on the individual mind cannot hinder the imagination of people in creating their public and personal world. The broad ontological integration created by religion will prevent such problems from appearing. Communication with the supreme source of religion helps the society to support its institutions and meanings. Religion is not something outside of society and turning to religion in a way leads to the discovery of meanings and institutions.
