Abstract

This study aims to show the reflection of fitra in the cultural theory of Ayatollah Javadi Amoli with an anthropological approach and in relation to the duality of "nature and culture" in Western theories with the duality of "nature and fitra". The analysis of his views made it clear that culture is the manifestation of human abilities in individual and social life. Human abilities are also shown in two areas of human existence, namely nature and fitra, and the rule of each of these two existential forces forms a culture appropriate to itself. The manifestation of human nature in individual and social life forms the culture of Mastur or Mutedani (covered or mutually approaching) and the manifestation of nature creates the famous culture and transcendental culture. In this regard, fitra culture has divine-made, formative-credit, realistic, unified, pluralist, flourishing, universal, and rusty characteristics.
