The issue of the nature of man has been the source of human actions throughout human history. The structures and systems that have emerged from moral preferences to social organisations, from state orders to educational systems are direct or indirect manifestations of the answer given to the question of what man is. For this reason, the question of what man is is also at the source of the understandings that reveal different civilisation experiences. The modernity in which we live today has radically transformed the classical conceptions of the nature of the human being and brought about one of the most important ruptures in human history. For this reason, the discussion of the conception of the human being is of central importance for understanding and explaining the modern period.
This book mainly deals with the debates on the nature of the human being in modern Western thought and evaluates the impact of different definitions of the human being in the formation and transformation of various scientific disciplines. In addition, the book also includes discussions in contemporary Islamic thought. Thus, it is aimed to follow the simultaneous and simultaneous effects of the radically changing conception of the universe and human being based on scientific developments in the modern period.
