Abstract
The relation between science and religion has been one of the serious concerns within human sciences. In principle, this relation has been categorized in four different fashions of conflict, autonomy, dialog and convergence. In this article, while we have elaborated these four different models but the main purpose has been to contextualize the position of Shariati in this larger debate. It has been argued that the Shariatian position has relied upon major concepts such as Hellenism, Capitalism, Negation of Natural Science’s monopoly, and the convergence of science and religion. In other words, Shariati refutes the conflictual position and works instead upon the convergence of religion and science. Of course, he relies very much on progressive discourses in his pursuit which has been delineated in details.
