Abstract

This research aims to examine the duality of individual authenticity and community authenticity with the approach of Islamic education in the thought of Shahid Motahari. For this purpose, all available sources and references related to his educational views have been examined descriptively and the resulting data have been classified and analyzed. The findings of the research indicate that in general, Shahid Motahari did not exclusively believe in the authenticity of the individual or the authenticity of the community, and while proving the authenticity of the individual while at the same time being the authenticity of the community and the authenticity of the community while at the same time being the authenticity of the individual, he introduces the community as a reality that emerges from the combination of individuals; in such a way that individuals also maintain their independent identity and build the nation with the divine capital of nature; as a result, the formation of the community will depend on the gradual movement of individuals and their spiritual bonding with each other. The formation of identity and education of individuals and human society is in the form of a circuit in which, first, man is created with a divine nature and gradually, with the influence of external natural and social factors, his soul and personality are built. Subsequently, common personalities and the collective human spirit will in turn be effective in the formation of the personality of individuals and again, the spiritual unity of these individuals with each other will create a new culture and society or will make the previous culture and society stronger.
