An Explanation of the Anthropological Principles of Allameh Tabatabaei's Al-Ma'arifa Theory

The provision of the theory in the field of knowledge (Ma’arifat) is based on human communication areas and the nature of these relationships, as well as the identification of the cause-and-effect system that governs these relationships. Explaining the applicatiozxzn of the correct anthropological principles in the pillars of knowledge will lead to the presentation of the theory of knowledge in all dimensions needed by human life. The knowledge system with the mentioned feature is derived from the book, tradition and reason and is considered a divine knowledge system. The realization of this system plays a significant role in the advancement of Islamic civilization and provides the context for the implementation of the high goals of security,  spirituality and social justice and provides all-round progress. The purpose of the present study, which was carried out in a descriptive-analytical method, is to explain the anthropological principles of Allameh Tabatabaei's knowledge system. The mentioned anthropological principles enter the epistemological issues with a skeptical look at the levels of human existence and the expression of the theory of Islamic nature and rationality and by presenting the theory of knowledge realism and comprehensive resources and tools for acquiring knowledge, it introduces the four sources of sense, reason, revelation and intuition as tools for acquiring knowledge and presents the superior position of revelation compared to sensory perception. Finally, by accepting the theory of truth and epistemological compatibilism, as well as confirming the fundamentalist point of view, Allameh's theory of knowledge formulates the theory of knowledge in all dimensions needed in human life.
