Abstract :

In psychology, self-knowledge and its levels play a fundamental role in human cognition. On the other hand, in many moral theories, psychology is the basis for the formation of moral virtues. Since the soul in the theories of Islamic philosophical ethics has similarities with personality and psychology in the theories of psychology, a comparative study can be made between the views of Hassanzadeh Amoli and Freud. One of the most important issues in recognizing man and his personality is the discussion of the soul and related theories, and it can be said that what unifies the scattered studies of psychology and gives them a clear meaning and concept, the interpretation of this finding Studies in the shadow of the theory of the soul is coherent that can justify and explain human behavior in all its dimensions. Therefore, in this research, an attempt has been made to comparatively examine the soul from the perspective of Hassanzadeh Amoli and Freud through the method of content analysis. According to Hassanzadeh Amoli’s point of view, soul is an essence that is indefinable due to its unlimited scope of existence. The human soul will be a species under sex, not a person under species; But from Freud's point of view, the concepts of "he", "I" and "I am superior" are both different types of souls and occur at different stages of a person's development
