Examining Allameh Tabatabaii's Theory about Being "Civilized with Revelation" with Emphasis on the Exegesis Al-Mizan

One of the serious topics in social sciences is the analysis of the origin of human civilization, in other words, to investigate the issue of what is the origin of human social life? This issue, which has long been a point of discussion among various thinkers all over the time, has led to the formation of two major attitudes. (۱) The origin of human social life is “human nature”, (۲) the origin of human social life is “the necessity”. But it seems that these two answers are not so exact that it can be considered as Allameh Tabatabai's opinion. So the main question is ‘Based on the attitude of Allameh Tabatabai what is the origin of human social life? It is necessary to emphasize that in this research paper we are trying to study the origin of social life of human in so far as he is human. Using analytical – rational method we will argued that upon Allameh Tabatabaii’s point of view (۱) human agent is has become civilized by revelation (: Elham)’. (۲) In some cases, Allameh Tabatabaii has also used other expressions such as ‘become civilized by nature’, ‘become civilized by recruitment’, as well as ‘become civilized by necessity and emergency’. (۳) None of these phrases express the final point of view of Allameh Tabatabaii.
