Abstract

One of the basic issues in the field of anthropology, which in turn is an attempt to demonstrate the superiority of a philosophical-social school over other competing schools, is explaining the nature of "human dignity" and its origins, significance and human, religious, moral, legal and social achievements. The present article is a comparative study of theoretical and practical components of "human dignity" from the perspective of the religious anthropology of Imam Reza (P.B.U.H.) with the foundations of humanism anthropology. The method used in this study is descriptive-analytical. Among the most fundamental theoretical and practical advantages of human dignity from the perspective of religious anthropology of the Imam as well as the achievements and innovations of the present paper are: the development of the horizons of thought and realism of a Muslim on objective and existential truths; non-uniqueness of the epistemic resources in the sense and experience and its development on the sources of revelation in line with a deeper recognition of the instances of the right and the wrong, and good and evil; the imposition of "human dignity" on the fields of "inherent" and "acquired and valued", the emergence of inherent dignity and the acquisition of man from God, the ability to arbitrarily deny the inherent dignity of man by himself, the imposition of man's dignity, as well as the spiritual, individual and eternal fields on material, worldly, social and governmental areas; infrastructure nature of the humanity of man and superstructure nature of its material, sensual and instinctive needs; the non-contradiction nature of Islamic penalties with human dignity.
