Abstract

One of the most fundamental issues in education is whether human education is the product of his interactions with the outside world or relies on the yeast of human nature. The type of attitude towards human identity and his existential dimensions is influential in adopting an educational method to achieve the ultimate goal of education. The aim of the present study is to prove the claim that the prerequisite for achieving the main goal of education and training is awareness of the innate dimensions of man. On the other hand, due to the multidimensionality of human existence, not only in one study, but also in several books, it is not possible to address all the innate characteristics of man, but in this study, using a qualitative method and in the form of document analysis in library resources, the study of human nature and the components of self-knowledge, originology and teleology will be examined and attention will be paid to these principles in Masha's philosophy. It is concluded that by recognizing these principles, the ultimate goal of education and training, which is true happiness in the light of the cultivation and growth of the individual's inner talents, will be achieved towards the excellence of the individual and society. The difference between this research and other articles and books that have dealt with the fundamentals of innate anthropology, such as freedom and progressivism, trainability, and their role in Islamic education and upbringing, is that this research deals with the fundamentals of human nature, such as origination, teleology, and self-knowledge, which have been neglected in other research. The result of this neglect is the adoption of humanistic and non-religious educational methods, which results in an identity crisis that will conflict with Islam
