The Principles of Sociocultural Determination of Mentally-Posited Knowledge in Al-Mizan

The main subject of this research is the "sociocultural determination of mentally-posited knowledge" from the perspective of the late Allamah Tabataba'i in al-Mizan Commentary. Research questions include: What is the origin of mentally-posited knowledge? What are the effects of socio-cultural factors on their determination? At what level is this knowledge formed? What is the dominant factor? And what is the ultimate goal and axis of the changes in mentally-posited knowledge? In response to these questions, some of the results of this research show that the late Allameh Tabataba'i considers the origin of mentally-posited knowledge to be the nature of mankind. He introduces the impact of socio-cultural factors as an emergency impact, and considers different individual, group, party and etc. levels for this knowledge. Despite the influence of various social and cultural factors on mentally-posited knowledge, he regards nature as the main determining factor. Finally, he believes that the main goal of the change in mentally-posited knowledge is considered to be a posterior mentally-posited knowledge. In this paper, descriptive-analytical methods, content analysis and documentary methods have been used.
