Abstract

The conflict over the duality of individual originality or community originality has a long history in sociological literature. The acceptance of each of the two sides of this duality plays a decisive role in the quality of the next theorizations about the laws governing the society and the stages of its formation.  Considering the mainly philosophical background of this issue, the need to address this issue from the perspective of Islamic attitude and especially transcendental wisdom, as the most complete Islamic philosophical system, becomes clear. In the meantime, Allameh Tabatabaei by proposing the principle of employment, Professor Motahari by proposing the physical creation and spiritual survival of society and Professor Parsania by presenting an innovative argument about the existence of society have expanded the horizon of transcendental wisdom from purely philosophical issues to sociological issues. However, firstly, there are problems in these views and secondly, there is some kind of inconsistency between these views in the initial opinion. In this article, first, answers are provided to the problems raised in these views, and then an attempt is made to sum up all three views by expanding the implications of transcendental wisdom in the recognition of society. Then, the development of the implications of transcendental wisdom is dealt with for further analysis of the society and some of its implications are presented in this regard, which include: Explaining the essential movement of society, a new division of different types of societies, proving the real existence of all types of society and the true unity between all societies while distinguishing them. In addition, in this article, according to each section, comparative, argumentative and implication research methods have been used.
