Abstract :

Freedom in the social system, especially the religious society, has important benefits and effects by observing its limits and boundaries; In order to achieve such an ideal, the fundamentals of freedom from the point of view of Islam must be carefully analyzed and examined. The question of the current research is that according to Islamic teachings and philosophical and psychological realities, what are the foundations of freedom and what are its anthropological foundations? In this article, by adopting the descriptive-analytical method, it was clarified that the foundations of freedom are news propositions that are either self-evident or proven in other sciences and are used to determine the principles, goals, factors, methods, stages, and obstacles of legitimate freedom; Also, the foundations of freedom can be divided into three types: religious, scientific and philosophical. Based on induction, philosophical foundations are divided into five epistemological, ontological, theological, value-oriented and anthropological branches. Knowing man and his characteristics is one of the main prerequisites for the issue of freedom. In this research, fourteen of the most important Islamic anthropological bases effective in humanities studies, including the issue of freedom, were identified.
