The Role of Non-Acquired Factors in the Formation of Human Personal Identity from Avicenna''''s Point of View

In human life, many factors are directly or indirectly involved in the formation of her individual identity, which, in general, distinguishes her from others. Avicenna''s system of thought, some identifying factors, such as physiological characteristics, are directly related to the body, and others, such as moods and temperaments, are directly related to the soul; However, due to the close and two-way relationship between the soul and the body, these factors are always influenced by each other''s moods and characteristics and together play a role in the formation of one''s identity. The purpose of this article is to use the descriptive-analytical method of Avicenna''s view on how non-acquired factors affect the formation of human individual identity in five important stages of life, namely “embryonic period”, “birth time to two years”, “two to five Age”, “Six years to the beginning of adolescence” and “Adolescence and youth”. Among these factors, some, such as “raw material of the body”, “gender” and “family environment”, can be influenced by other human interventions; But others, such as the “environment” and “different seasons”, are completely natural factors in which man is not involved. These factors, which have long-term or short-term effects on the physiological, moral and behavioral aspects of man, are the total builder of his individuality.
