The foundations and structure of cultural system from in the view of the Quran

The formation of Qurʾānic ideal society or in other word, the design of Islamic system is principally based on formation of an ideal cultural system. Such a system has much functionality that enables one to determine and supervise his behavior in the socio-political and economic system. Thus, the present paper tries to draw the ontological, epistemological and anthropological foundations of Islam and design the structure of an ideal cultural system. For deduction of ontological foundations, the writer has pointed at ‘monotheism’, ‘regularity of the cosmos’ and ‘the multiple causes of natural phenomena’. The writer has elaborated on ‘reason’, ‘revelation’, ‘intuition’ and ‘nature’ as sources of epistemology and the ‘senses’ and ‘compound rationalism’ as means of cognition. These are the sources and means the holy Quran has paid attention too. Finally, the anthropology of Islam is described with the following important constituents that ‘human is free’, ‘human is divinely created’, ‘human is a rational agent’ and that both the individual and society are essential. Moreover, for designing the structure of cultural system the author tried to put forth the elements such as: the human system of beliefs and their common objectives, the human value system, the Islamic common normative system which is based on the content analysis method. Given the conclusion he draws from the very constituents, he presents the view of the holy Quran in this respect as well.
