معاثر الأنثروبولوجيا الأحيائية : مناقشة نقدية في تأثير نظرية التطور على العلوم الإنسانية

Abstract EN

Charles Darwin presented the theory of evolution as a biological theory, but this theory has not been free of metaphysical ramifications and a notable influence on humanities.

In fact, its influence on humanities equals its influence on biology, if not more.

By presenting an account of the evolutionary theory, this essay strives to clarify the influence of this theory on the anthropological principles of humanities within the five following points: the nature of man, the place of man in the world of existence, human will and choice, the ultimate perfection of humans, and the creation of man.

This essay examines and discusses these concepts and proves that the anthropological principles of humanities -which emanate from a certain integrative worldview- are not in harmony with the anthropological principles of Islamic humanities.

In brief, this essay extracts the anthropological principles of the evolutionary theory in humanities, and criticizes and discusses them in some areas as well.

In the section on the creation of man, this essay deduces that on the basis of the evolutionary concepts of natural selection and the coincidental origin of species, the evolutionary theory is not in harmony with the Quranic and Islamic viewpoint because belief in the meaningful creation and guidance of humans are pillars of faith.

Therefore, the main step in the Islamization of humanities is the repudiation and elimination of this view regrading humans and substituting it with Islamic anthropological principles.
