The Ethics of Scientific Debate in the sīra of Imam Reza (PBUH)

Abstract

In this article, with the purpose of explaining the most important and fundamental ethical values that are necessary and essential for defining a basic framework and the correct model of scientific debate and dialogue, we have analyzed the sīra of Imam Reza with a descriptive-analytical method. So, the question is what general form of educational model of scientific debate, in the different areas of value, we will get by probing and studying  the relationship between Imam Reza and his opponents, religious scholars and followers of different religions? The research findings show that in the obtained pattern, on the one hand, sincerity and the necessary knowledge and expertise are considered as the most important ethical-professional requirements before entering the debate ;On the other hand, honesty, justice and fairness, endurance, tolerance and modesty are among the most important moral-professional requirements during the debate, including the values and ethical principles that must always be taken into consideration by the parties, and they should not go out of the way of those values and principles.
In the area of scientific ethics and behavioral norms during the debate, respect and appreciation, listening comprehension and understanding of the audience's purpose, speaking as readily understood, reasoned and Documentary talking, form the third dimension of the ethical-professional requirements of the debate
