Phenomenology of I'tibārīāt and I'tibārī Nihilism of Cyber based on Allāma Tabātabāī’s Point of View

Allāma Tabātabāī has used the theory of i'tibārīāt in the analysis of various phenomena such as knowledge, the language of religion, the relationship between the appearance and the interior of religion. According to Allāma Tabātabāī the language of religion is i'tibārī; That is, it forms a set of validity of the language of religion in the field of education, which go back to the facts. The discussion of i'tibārī versus real has been raised in the works of the Allāma Tabātabāī in two different ways: Epistemological discussion and ontological discussion. In addition to these two, we can also talk about i'tibārī phenomenology. What is meant by “i'tibārī phenomenology” is the study of the emergence of human relationships with the world and other objects in the form of i'tibārī matters. Man's relationship with other objects is based on four types: real-real; real- i'tibārī; i'tibārī-real; i'tibārī - i'tibārīāt. This latter type is a i'tibārī relationship with something that a person accepts without going back to the reality and simply based on the relationship with other baseless i'tibārīāt. We called this type of i'tibārīāt "absurd i'tibārīāt". One of the most important types of nihilism that can be seen in the cyber space is i'tibārī nihilism, and various forms of it can be seen in this space. Technology and virtual space has brought with it a lot of absurd i'tibārīāt and has trapped a person in the dungeon of i'tibārī nihilism. The only way to get rid of them is to return to real i'tibārīāt; i'tibārīāt that are rooted in reality. The existential relationship that new humanity has found with the cyber space and technology has replaced the relationship with the sacred and God.
