Abstract

It has been over five decades since the concept of “spiritual health” was first introduced in academic texts, and although many studies have been conducted on the subject, there exists no consensus on its definition and components yet. Nonetheless, this concept has been an inextricable part of Islamic Theology, which is more than several hundred years old. Therefore, it can be asserted that observation and analysis of the lifestyles of Muslim scholars may shed some light on this seemingly complex concept. This analytic-descriptive article was designed to provide a straightforward definition for spiritual health and explore its different components from the viewpoint of Ayatollah Hassanzadeh Amoli, a renowned Shiite scholar. In this article, spiritual health refers to the health of the soul and is related to both material soul and the body itself. The Ayatollah puts special emphasis on the importance of living a healthy lifestyle and on the health of the material soul in order to promote spiritual health. In this article, we endeavor to conduct a thorough analysis of the lifestyle and views of Ayatollah Hassanzadeh Amoli.

Abstract

Science of medicine is affected by metaphysics and non-experimental foundation, although it proves its issues by experimental methods. Nowadays, lots of evidence confirm the effects of metaphysical assumptions in experimental sciences including medicine. These assumptions are not experimental but have serious impact on determining the methods, structures, and orientation of science. In comparison with other experimental sciences, medicine is more affected because it concerns with one of human dimensions; which means the body. Each medical school, desirable or nondesirable, has a special viewpoint about the human and when it studies the body, issues like existence of soul and divine aspect of the man has a particular standpoint that cause change the in some of medicine’s directions. Then, study the metaphysical foundations in medicine is necessary. From which, we concerned the anthropological basis in this study that include: 1.Positivistic approach to man 2.Biological concept of man 3. Neglect of human’s spirituality 4.Mechanical viewpoint 5.Partailism approach 6.A purely material view of death. This article, criticizes these approaches. In conclusion, modern medicine has defaced metaphysical foundations which must be revised. As these foundations have influenced medicine’s methods and directions, evaluation of the aforementioned influence on medicine seems necessary.

Abstract

The human moral or, in other words, his human dignity has long been the subject of discussions among various thinkers. Almost all theories that have addressed this issue are in principle the dignity of man and the supremacy of his position in relation to all beings, but what makes a different perspective on this topic is the criterion of this dignity and excellence. Making essential decisions for the fetus, including preserving the fetus or abortion, is one of the main applications of the principle of human dignity and is directly is influenced by its human and ethical status. Two groups of theories have focused on the issue of the dignity of the fetus: secular theories and theories based on religions and schools. The secular ideas, have some attractions that human intuition accepts them to some extent, but none is free of criticism, and the critique of each theory is all remarkableness and worthwhile. Hence, this article, while it is reviewing some of the secular views and the views of religions and schools on the status of the embryo and addressing some criticisms of them, provides the dominant human-being theory of fetus based on Shi'a thought and introduces the valuable position of man from fetal times. Finding the root of human dignity by relying on human thought and without resorting to revelation inspiration is faced to serious challenges. Human embryos, due to the ability to become human, have been at the beginning of being a valuable place that increases the value of fetal age when it increases its age so that it is not worthy of human dignity with God's soul. But because its granting by the Lord on the basis of the religious teaching perception, the egg cell should not only be eliminated, but also should be taken care of and protected due to its potential to become human
