Abstract

This research studies human based on some aspects including nature, freedom and freewill, responsibility, self-consciousness, and perfect human from perspectives of "Islamic humanology" and "existentialistic humanology." Islam describes human as a bidimensional creature that has freedom and freewill to form his/her fate, while the school of existentialism does not agree with Islam's standpoint. Islam believes that human is intrinsically social and so is not agreeable with monopoly as well as self-orientation, whereas existentialists emphasize individual benefits
