The system of the Philosophy of Islamic humanities based on the four causes

Reza Eshaqi

Summary
The study is based on the assumption that science in its systematic sense is a potential, gradual and changing reality; therefore, we can distinguish between four elements in it: doer, potential, form and purpose. And this is according to a systematic analytical approach to the requirements of these four elements from an Islamic point of view. Our approach will be based on theoretical frameworks and predetermined premises. And since the fact that human relations are of a networked reality, the discussion of this topic will not be from one angle, but, due to the reality and the studied topic, this discussion will be organized and multifaceted. We will also distinguish between man as a subject in the humanities from man as a subject in the empirical sciences. Therefore, characteristics such as choice and self-awareness will make the presenting theories about man more complicated than natural subjects, and will go beyond the sources of knowledge, used to confirm or refute the theories that are limited to experience and its consequences, to, revelation and the traditions of the Infallible as reliable sources to prove the theories put forward. The direct purpose of human sciences is to show the various man’s relationships and behaviors in the individual and social sphere. As for the indirect purpose, it is the changing if the existing situation into the desired Islamic situation. Given these direct and indirect purposes, science is formed from holistic and organized issues, guiding issues and descriptive issues.
