Abstract

In this article, through an analytical-philosophical method, it’s been tried to first examine the meaning of civilizational life based on the principles and system of Allameh Tabatabaei's thought, and secondly, after explaining the meaning of civilizational life, the relationship of Allameh Tabatabaei's personality with modern Islamic civilizational life and the introduction of his scientific jihad to realize such a civilization has been be examined. The finding of the study in the first part suggests that civilizational life is a special type of social life that has two basic characteristics. First of all, it is a multi-dimensional life and in it all dimensions of human existence, including science, art, industry, economy, spirituality, etc., has a complete social emergence and secondly, a kind of unity of meaning and single character governs all these multiple social dimensions. In the second part, by analyzing the scientific and practical lifestyle of Allameh Tabatabaei, it has been shown that there are two criteria for defining civilization in the personality, works, scientific approach and discipleship style of Allameh in a distinctive and prominent way. Therefore, they can be considered the epistemic support of modern Islamic civilization at the present time. Various dimensions of the mentioned truth in Allameh's philosophical, interpretive and mystical lifestyle have been briefly examined in this article.
