Abstract

The main purpose of this paper is to focus on similarities and differences betweenthe concept of “Human Nature” as elaborated by ROUSSEAU in Emile with the concept of “Fitrah”, propounded in AYATOLLAH SHAH-ABADI’s views. We used the conceptual and comparative analysis to develop the main argument of this paper, which revealed that there are significant differences between these two concepts. On the one hand, it is argued that that ROUSSEAU focuses on the common nature of HUMAN being in Emile. His views regarding HUMAN nature is a priori, distinguishing two qualities, animal and supra animal. In terms of a naturalistic approach, he lays emphasis on common elements shared by HUMAN beings including natural goodness, lawfulness, universality and potentialities for certain dispositions and conceptions, and the realization of those potentialities. For ROUSSEAU, HUMAN nature pre-exists, with a secondary nature being overlaid by education. On the other hand, AYATOLLAH SHAH-ABADI employed a rational, traditional (called “Naghli”) and hermeneutic approach to explain “Fitrah”. A comparison of ROUSSEAU’s views concerning HUMAN nature with those subscribed by Shah-Abadi regarding FITRAH shows wide differences, despite some apparent similarities. Certain elements in Shah-Abadi’s views such as “immunity from wrongdoing”, divine orientation of HUMAN FITRAH and its predisposition toward monotheism, and its immunity from alteration, stand in sharp contrast to ROUSSEAU’s ideas.
