The Identity and Existence of Society and Its Interaction with Its Constituents

The question of the identity, authenticity and structure of society which is considered one of the principles of theoretical philosophy of history is worth inquiry and speculation, to which there are different approaches. Thinker's fundamental theories on this issue are influenced by a kind of interpretation and approach ascribed to the existence of society and used as philosophically substantiated arguments. In the meantime, the dialectical apprehension of these two, the close relation between these two levels of abstraction and the deep correlation between micro-level and macro- level in the thoughts of past and current thinkers have always been the philosophical concerns which have led to many scientific speculations. Although many social scientists hold that there is an interaction between society and individual in terms of the interrelation between structural and behavioral aspects, they tend to accept the idea that there is a unidirectional relationship between the two levels. What is important here is to discover the view of the Quran about this issue and extract the approach to this mutual interaction and see what influence they have on one another, the point which the present paper tries delve into.
