Abstract

One of the most important issues in today’s world is the place of women in the family and society. The issue of women in each school of thought is the result of worldview, epistemology, and anthropology of that school. In the western civilization and non-divine societies, the presented models for women are the result of materialist, humanist, and feminist thought that sees human as the key to everything and gives originality to his will and desire and considers women as tools. This article, which has been carried out through a descriptive-analytical and critical method, aims to examine and explain the views of Imam Musa Sadr on the real place of women in Islam and Western civilization. The findings and results suggest that Imam Musa Sadr believes in Arab civilization and schools of thought, women are considered as artistic paintings and all attention is paid to the women’s femininity, and the human aspect of women is denied or ignored, and women have been misused under the title of freedom. However, by honoring women, Islam has restored her human place and has forbidden individual and social oppression against her.
