Extending the Realm of Rationality to Value-Based Rationality and Pursuing it in Islamic Teachings, Emphasizing the Critique of Hume's View

Considering epistemic rationality, David Hume considers talking about the rationality of human tendencies and emotions as meaningless. However, rationality is not limited to epistemic rationality, and if we accept value-based rationality, then human emotions and actions can also be rational or irrational. In epistemic rationality, harmony and conformity of mind and object is considered, and in value-based rationality, harmony and proportion between creatures or between creatures and God is regarded (especially, based on the divine explanation). Such harmony is of fundamental value, and therefore rationality and value are two sides of the same coin. Some Islamic teachings, which have dealt with intellect and reason, can be interpreted on the basis of this kind of rationality. And since these teachings attribute the understanding of such rationality to the heart and, on the other hand, consider the heart as the center of emotions, the heart can be considered as an epistemological-motivational force that, if healthy, understands the existential values and leads man towards them.
