Undoubtedly, the problem of human beings and the recognition of his nature are considered to be the main concerns of Kant. This concern, before he began to write his critical philosophy, led him to research subjects related to human nature, and eventually led him to consider humanity as an answer to the main philosophical question. Kant distinguishes between two types of research on the nature of mankind: the pragmatic research that speaks of it in his ‘anthropology from a pragmatic point of view’, and transcendental research that is called ‘transcendental anthropology’, a term that he did not explain in any of his works. But what does Kant mean by this term and what does this concept mean about humans? In this article we are trying to examine two aspects of the term, the anthropological and transcendental, to clarify Kant’s mind and verify his definition of the human being. This study shows that Kant tries to examine the mental faculties of human beings to understand a priori what can be achieved about him. This study shows that, first, man is nothing but the origin of the laws of nature and can understand the fundamental laws of nature. Secondly, what to do is the moral law imposed upon him by his wit. And finally, what would have hoped is nothing more than that he realizes his ends through moral law and changes the natural world into the moral world.

The issue of cognition is one of the important issues that philosophers attempted to find out its process of identifying and interacting with the mind or subject of thought by facing the outside world. In this process, what precede cognition are the ontological problem of the existing reality and the interaction of the thinking subject with the outside world. Since philosophers have distanced between cognition and reality and considered minds as tools and media for the attainment of truth and reality, Hegel has been critical of these attitudes in order to redefine cognition as science. Therefore, he should be considered the pioneer of the phenomenological project in the field of philosophical thought. In his phenomenology, the question of the process of human cognition is simulated with the whole of philosophical thought throughout history. In this essay, the authors attempt to show how Hegel enables the transition from the stage of natural consciousness to the attainment of absolute cognition by rejecting Kant's existing reality into two areas of phenomenal and invariant.

Analysis of the epistemological system of Shahab-o-din Sohrewardi (1155-1195 A.D.), the founder of the second field of philosophical thought in the history of Islamic philosophy, is of significant importance. His epistemology analyzes the logical contrast of Peripatetic philosophical system. Sohrewardi's theory of science has two parts: in the first part, Sohrewardi criticizes traditional theories of science, specially those that deal with science through definition, sensual perception and primary or basic concepts that precede experience. First he criticizes the structure of Aristotelian "definition" so that this criticism is the first important attempt to indicate the contrast of Aristotelian structure, and it is the first step of formulating Illumination (or Oriental Theosophy). Sohrewardi shows the defects and constraints of "definition" in achieving certainty. According to him, the proposed theories of science, while leading us to an aspect of truth and are not absolutely unreliable, cannot direct us to certainty, nor express the possibility of the reality of science. Sohrewardi not only tries to invent a formal standard for "definition", different from that of the Peripatetic, but also proposes an aspect of "definition" that is the basic constituent of his Illumination theory on the rational structure of science. This fundamental difference states the entirely different perspectives of logical and epistemological principles in philosophy and sets the second part of Sohrewardi's theory, so that in Illumination, supremacy is with intuition and is on the basis of the theory of Observation-Illumination and is formulated according to the knowledge of presence.

In the present essay, it is suggested that Islam's view on human could be formulated essentially in terms of agency. From this perspective, action and human agency is based on three basic foundations termed as cognition, emotion, and will. The agency point of view with the mentioned components is a hard core that should be seriously taken into account in any kind of theorizing about the human like what is involved in psychology or sociology. Of course, talking about impulsive behavior in the individual or the unpredictability of consequences of integrated actions at the social level is compatible with the agency point of view in the Islamic theory of action given that the above-mentioned hard core is accepted at the bottom. Habcrmas has also seriously taken into account the human agency. In his theory, two models of purposive-rational and functional rationality in system are used. These two models have led to acceptance of two conceptual apparatuses and two methodological styles. The characteristics of these two apparatuses and methodological styles prevent us from considering continuity between them. This is because changing "the actor's view" to "the spectator's view" changes the quality of the subject altogether. Comparing the two theories, it could be said that Habermas's view on the cybernetic explanation of social system is an example of the explanation that is based on assumptions different from those of Islamic view on human. This is because the cybernetic explanation, as Habermas holds, does not care at all about intentions and awareness of agents. In this kind of explanation, it is held that the system itself has an objective entity and, in addition, has particular laws for development according to the logic of feedback and in which intentions and awareness of agents have no place
