The present book is an example of religious study that a religious scholar, specialized in traditional seminary sciences and proficient in modern human sciences, has tried with continuous jurisprudence to utilize the facilities of Islamic tradition and culture and modern thoughts in facing new issues. Therefore, this book is worthy of deliberation for religious scholars who wish to seek a base both in the traditional as well as in the modern world.

Muhammad Taghi Ja'fari (born 1923, Tabriz, Iran, and died 1998) was a contemporary sage and an expert in philosophy and Islamic knowledge. Ja'fari was familiar with Western culture and also with the needs of modern human being and the contemporary culture. He was indeed an original and innovative thinker.

Indeed, Ja'fari has left us a collection of invaluable works on Islamic teachings, philosophy of arts, aesthetics, literature, mysticism, the study of the Nahjulbalaghah, psychology, human rights and pedagogy. In addition to being an expert in philosophy, in Islamic mysticism and in Fiqh (jurisprudence), Ja'fari was familiar with the works and the ideas of classical Western philosophers such as Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle. He was also versed in the works of modern philosophers including Descartes, Leibniz, Hume, Kant, Hegel, and contemporary philosophers such as Balzac, Dostoevsky, Tolstoy, Hugo, and modern-day physicists including Max Planck, and Einstein.
