An Introduction to the Quiddity of the Attitude of the Intellectuals and its Relation to Intellectual Judgment

The present article is a new attempt in elucidating the quiddity of the attitude (sīra) of the intellectuals and its relation to the rational judgment, which is discussed on two main bases. The first basis is dedicated to elucidating the sources of attitude and the theologian's viewpoints in this respect are examined. Also, while presenting the viewpoints of the philosophers and theologians on the nature of intellect, the differences between attitude and intellect in terms of origin and source are studied. The second basis is dedicated to the criteria of the attitude of the intellectuals in terms of creating science or providing assurance, and the distinction between attitude and intellect is taken into consideration from this aspect.
