The nation's position vis-à-vis the enemy is the result of 1,400 years of culture.
The Vice President for Strategy and Parliamentary Affairs, at the ceremony of removing the lot from the latest art of the Islamic Council's library, museum and document center, referring to the Iranian nation's position against the exaggerations of the enemies, said: The cautionary position that the great nation of Iran demonstrated during the recent ups and downs should not be seen as an accident; This resistance is the result and essence of a rich culture of 1,400 years.
Mohsen Esmaili said at this ceremony: For hundreds of years, intellectual and cultural work has been done in this context, until today people managed to withstand such strength for hundreds of days and nights, so that the world took a finger of wonder. This greatness is the product of cultural production and efforts of all the writers whose lives have been immortalized today on the shelves of these libraries.
Esmaili further pointed to two epidemics in the field of books and reading and said: We have faced two wrong opinions in the field of books from the past until now, which can be considered a form of extremism; Our task is to distance ourselves from both points of view and return to the point of balance. The first point of view is superficial modernization and disregard for tradition. This view belongs to some of those who have just arrived in the field of knowledge, who think that it is an honor to step on the old things and heritage of the past, and who consider it a matter of pride to ignore the scientific and intellectual heritage; Although the truth is exactly the opposite of this idea.
Explaining the second point of view, he said: "The claim that the caravan of science is over and there is no need for a new writer" is another offense that exists in this field. The second view also belongs to those who sometimes hear this sentence from their mouths: "What was necessary, the ancients said and wrote; what more needs to be written and done? There is no need for a new job." Both of these views are completely wrong.
Esmaili noted: The caravan of science is always dynamic and exciting, and new horizons and findings emerge every day. In general, our mission and duty is to "break scientific boundaries" in the words of Quaid Hrog and introduce new words to human society every day. This is the honor of Iran and the honor of Islam, and we must be pioneers in the world in proposing new ideas and words.
