Investigating the Methods of Internalizing the Values in Humans From Perspective of Islam (With A Focus on Ayatollah Javadi Amoli’s Notions)

Abstract

The establishment and internalization of values in society is considered as one of the most important components of reaching its advancement and progress. In this regard, Ayatollah Javadi Amoli’s notions, as one of the most prominent contemporary Islamic philosophers, are the focus of analysis. The problem of the present research is that based on the opinions of Ayatollah Javadi Amoli, how can the methods of establishing values in humans be evaluated? The method of the present research is analytical descriptive. Based on the results of the research, from the perspective of Ayatollah Javadi Amoli, it is possible to analyze the methods of establishing values in humans in six contexts: the context of art (art provides the possibility for values to be conveyed to the audience clearly and beautifully); The context of reason (the power of reason as the most important human talent, plays a vital role in the formation of personality; and intellectual education is associated with thinking and reasoning in different affairs. This attitude, in addition to strengthening the law, also aids in advancing human will); The context of fondness and affection (affection is one of the strongest vital forces in individual and social life; justice and affection exist together and their presence causes balance in human); the context of social education (social systems that are formed in social life play an essential role in human life); the context of moral education (in order to achieve value transcendence, one should avoid vices and move towards acquiring virtues) and the context of religion (Establishing values in the context of religion means matching between religious values and human behaviors, which is effective in establishing moral and spiritual values.
