Exploring the Philosophical Foundations of Instructive Lessons in the Wills of the Martyred University Students During the Holy Defense

Martyrs consciously selected a glorious path. Their consciousness and knowledge originated from their thinking and presented their philosophical considerations. Their philosophical foundations can be derived and presented throughout their wills. This research is intended to identify the philosophical foundations of instructive lessons endorsed in the wills of the martyred students in the Holy Defense to propose instructive help for those in charge of education. This applied research follows a documentary-analytical method. Data analysis is performed through deep content analysis. The findings indicated that the martyred students talked so much about the epistemology in their wills that one can easily attain a clear image of God and beings, and that the whole being belongs to God, truthfulness is constantly fighting evil, and the material world is temporal. However, the wills of martyred students have paid little attention to the nature of being. In terms of anthropologic studies, the martyrs have reached to a perfect philosophy paying attention to human features such as freedom, determination, recognition, responsiveness, purity and the idea of  combination of both body and soul. In terms of epistemology, the most important account of the martyrs is devoted to revelation, charisma and ultimately, wisdom. Most of martyrs' cognition is derived from intuition and can be regarded as the state of real certainty. Considering the role of value, they put a significant importance upon the role of will and awareness in constructing goodness and value. In terms of values, they mostly concentrated on worshiping and moral values; yet, they have paid little attention to the sources of such values.
