  The question of the present paper regards Hanna Arnedt’s ideas about human action. Is “action”, in Arnedt’s thought, merely an answer to the problems of the contemporary man, or what? The hypothesis is that Arnedt has an existentialist approach to “action”, and offers it as a solution of disastrous crises upon the contemporary man. To test the hypothesis, we begin with the study of the concept of “action” in Arnedt’s thought, then we will see what existentialism is, and what its main principles are, and finally we will show the relationship between existentialist thoughts and Arnedt’s approach, contrasting her approach to “action” with the main principles of existentialism already made clear.

  The study deals with the "educational system and methods of Islamic view and its analogy with the school of existentialism". The purpose of this research is theoretical, applied and descriptive-analytical study. In existentialism methodology, the teacher tries to persuade the student Find out personal truths through questions about the meaning of life. The task of the teacher is to provide a learning environment where students can express their mentality. Existentialists believe that the learner should not be forced to learn by deception or force, but that the learner should seek to learn by himself or herself and face an indefinable situation. In this way, the teacher has a facilitating role. And the ubiquitous pursuit of desire seeks to discover the truth. It has also been emphasized in the school of Islam. However, access to this issue is different in these schools. In general, in examining whether the educational methods of Islam and existentialism are the same direction, it can be said that these approaches to fostering rational thinking in learners are somewhat consistent, but the Islamic educational methods are The holistic view of Islam is more general. Islam, in its comprehensive view of man, has envisaged the cultivation of all aspects of human existence, while existentialism and the Western schools in general have merely regarded man as a material being.

  This article makes a brief mention intellectual foundation of existentialism and by reviewing some of the most important anthropological ideas of Kierkegaard, tries to analyze critically the concept of liberty and freedom from his perspective, to some theoretical reflections on the foundations necessary to refer existentialism. Our analysis in this paper shows that despite profound accuracy Kierkegaard on the concrete conditions of human life and in favor of the principle of free will and choice in the realization of one's true identity, But his approach to the concept of human freedom and philosophical challenges faced conflicts with some principles of Islamic anthropology. The most controversial cases include: lack of serious attention to the relationship between individual and social freedoms, incompatibility between the concept of individuality and subjectivity of truth, freedom and the lack of attention to the inherent limitations of human and disregard of the passive nature of some human choices and choices Manuscript profile

  The present paper explains the view of Kierkegaard, the prominent founding philosopher of existentialism, regarding religious teachings. Kierkegaard refers to three aesthetic, ethical, and religious spheres for human beings and maintains that there is a large distance between the aesthetic and religious stages. Accordingly, in order to explain the process of development in these spheres, he uses such words as “pathos” and “leap of faith”. Kierkegaard’s discontinuous dialectics, when moving from one stage to the other, reveals that, firstly, these three-fold spheres can never unite with each other even if they co-exist for some time. Finally, there comes a time when, inevitably, one has to be chosen. Secondly, the quality of moving from one stage to the other is not logical and cannot be explained within a specific framework. When confronting the problem of religious faith, Kierkegaard does not allocate any place to the intellect and thought. In other words, he does not specify a certain time, place, and method so that individuals know when, where, and how they can reach the next stage. Rather, he believes that one must take risks in this process, do miracles, and follow the way without resorting to the intellect. Such risks cause a leap from the ethical sphere to the religious sphere, which is the highest level of an original life or existence; a leap which does not fit the framework of rational principles and, hence, cannot be perceived. Kierkegaard dedicates all his efforts in his works to demonstrating that the two spheres of religious belief and intellect are not only different but also in contrast to each other and, thus, one cannot evaluate religious concepts against the criterion of the intellect.

  With the growth of interdisciplinary studies in the modern era and given the fact that the Holy Quran is a book with different aspects and that with the development of science, more and more aspects of it are revealed to humans, interdisciplinary studies in the field of Quranic research has become increasingly important. Conformity is a subject which, as a social behavior, can be discussed in different courses. In this paper, we have discussed it from psychological, philosophical and Quranic perspectives. Methods: This research uses a descriptive-analytical method and the data has been collected based on a bibliographical method. Conclusion: The findings of this research indicate that Conformity is a psychological fact that human beings resort to it because of their need to live in community. If this conformity is founded upon reflection and thought, it is a desirable thing. Otherwise, it is something to be avoided because, philosophically, it challenges human being’s individuality and according to the Quran, jeopardizes one’s salvation in this world and the Hereafter.

  Existential conditions are the creations of existentialist philosophers; But other schools of thought have also dealt with it without mentioning the existence of the state. One of these schools is Islamic mysticism, which is considered to be one of the main characteristics of thinking about human beings and human states of being. Human states and existential issues such as happiness, sadness, loneliness, faith, hope, death, etc. have been the subject of many texts of Islamic mysticism. Such issues and topics are among the important human issues and topics, and every human being thinks about them in every place and time and is involved with them. Knowledge of man and his condition is one of the most important topics raised in the works of Muslim mystics. In the works of mystical literature, special attention has been paid to the status, characteristics and condition of human beings as the highest of creations. One of the most important works of Persian mystical literature is the logic of al-Tahir Attar. Throughout this system, detailed references have been made to the characteristics and conditions of human existence, the extraction and explanation of which will lead to a greater understanding of Attar's thoughts and Islamic mysticism. In this essay, with a descriptive and analytical method, after examining the existential issues of man from the point of view of existentialists and Attar, we came to the conclusion that despite the similarity of Attar's opinions with existentialists about man and his existential condition, since Attar has a monotheistic and mystical vision of man and human issues. It looks like there are differences between his thoughts and existentialists. In Attar's thought, the type of existence of a person is the result of his relationship with his God, not just the experiences he acquires during his life. Manuscript profile
