Abstract: (2 Views) |
One of the important dimensions of development reflects on the economic aspect, whose pattern is formed under influence of the ideology toward a human being. Therefore, according to modern anthropological principles which are based on humanism and subjectivism, the human being is considered as an axial element in this modern theory. As a result of humanism, the human being is basically considered as a principal being whose desires show their goals and values, and their intellect represents the way to achieve those destinations. On the other hand, subjectivism which is a doctrine that knowledge is merely subjective and that there is no external or objective truth has led to the implementation of the capitalist system and the sovereignty of self-stablished intellect. Therefore, it can be said that modern economic development based on the anthropological foundations is a self-destructive theory that leads to the separation of man from his divine nature and deprivation of his true perfection and real salvation.
