Abstract

The issue of man is a difficult one existing in most scientific and philosophical fields. If we do not say that it is the most important philosophical issue, we should admit that it is one of the most important ones and deserves to be studied and discussed meticulously.The importance of this issue is due to the key role the knowledge of man plays in gaining knowledge of God, the world, and the ways of life. Its difficulty is also due to man's having various dimensions. The complexities of the human soul or spirit, the multiplicity and amazing nature of his inner and mental faculties, and even the astonishing phenomena associated with his body have turned him into an unknown existent. Following the Almighty Necessary, we should say about human beings, "we have not learned about you as we should".In addition to human beings' inner complexities, every one has his own specific situation concerning his relations with God, nature, and the macrocosmos. This by itself adds to the intricacy of man's essence and act. Such specificities and uniqueness of each human individual's interior and situation makes them so different from each other that even no two human beings can be considered similar to each other.
