Abstract

"Is this world moving towards a goal or an end, or is it abandoned and without a clear destination?" This question has always been one of the main problems of humans from the beginning of facing the natural world. Today, the root of many fundamental differences in cosmology, anthropology, and even legal and moral systems is the difference in the purposefulness or purposelessness of man and the general system of nature. In this article, first, the philosophical roots of the difference in the purposefulness of creation between Muslim sages and Western philosophers are examined and then, the arguments of those who believe in purposefulness based on its imaginary and affirmative principles are calculated and formulated in a disciplined manner and then the effects of negation of purposefulness of creation are studied in the challenges posed to the contemporary Western man in several important areas such as family crisis, environmental crisis, identity crisis and regulation of legal systems. The main research question in this article addresses the arguments of those who believe in the purposefulness of nature and the basis of such arguments as well as the practical effects of denial it on the contemporary man, family and society.
