Abstract: (545 Views) |
Knowing the origin of desirability has a special effect on the correct knowledge of the moral and educational system. Therefore, many experts have addressed these issues. Allameh Misbah Yazdi considers self-love to be the only source of desirability and thinks that all inclinations go back to this tendency. The purpose of this research is to assess and explain self-love as the source of desirability in the view of Allameh Misbah and to answer questions and problems in this regard utilizing a descriptive and analytical method. The findings of this research indicate that self-love is, as a matter of fact, the source of desirability and this point of view is different from psychological and moral egoism in Western thought. Also, this view is completely compatible with monotheism and does not contradict it. This standard does not conflict with altruism and does not require one to be selfish or follow his whims, as they are usually considered objectionable in moral discussions. |
