| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study explores emergent Islamic discourses and practices concerning the field of the environment in Iran. It sheds light on some distinctive ways in which Islamic scholars and experts engage in environmental problems whose scope, questions, and characteristics had been hitherto defined largely by modern science. Research findings show that Islamic tradition is unfolding along with the framework of modern science, while uniquely developing Islamic ethics onto environmental attitude and behavior.

近代化やグローバリゼーションに伴う「変化」に対してイスラーム文化は不寛容で、後進的であるという論調がメディアに浸透している。本研究では、現地調査と文献資料調査に基づいて、このような論調を批判的に検討し、環境分野で現出するイスラーム的視座に注目しながら、時間や場所とともに変容し続けるイスラーム文化の多様性について理解を深めることを目的とした。
