This article tries to examine modern humanism and the position of the concept of the subject from Nietzsche's critical point of view, considering the importance and position of instinct compared to consciousness. Man as the subject and subject of knowledge has a privileged position in modern metaphysics, and basically, modernity has an inseparable link with the subject and consciousness. Nietzsche's criticism of the subjective concept of modern man and the revival of the elemental instinct in the drawing of the human face is considered a fundamental criticism of modernity. In this research, firstly, the relationship between instinct and consciousness is examined in the theoretical foundations, focusing on the thought of Rousseau and Schopenhauer, and then the relationship between instinct and moral values, as well as the desire for truth in Nietzsche's view, is investigated. Nietzsche believes that the reduction of man to consciousness (the knowing subject) requires ignoring other dimensions of human existence, such as physical, instinctive, emotional, and historical dimensions, and as a result, he considers the image of modern man as a subject to be an incomplete form of man, which, despite the cognitive and moral centrality in modern metaphysics, has ignored important aspects of human being and natural dimensions that can lead to his prosperity. This article finally deals with the place of body and instinct as natural dimensions of human existence and their priority over mind and subjective consciousness in Nietzsche's anthropology.

Modern thought, focusing on spatiotemporal connections of human beings and emphasizing science, technology, and earthy bliss, has ignored the idea of ultimate and otherworldly bliss as a form of asceticism. It thus filled with Nihilism and Dysphoria. It was while human beings in the classic world emphasizing the hereafter bliss were ignoring the importance of life and happiness in this world. Nowhere, neither the results of modern thought nor the classic lifestyle cut off the earthy bliss is desirable. The issue is how to achieve an attitude beyond their problems and obstructions? This article has turned its attention to this issue through a descriptive-analytical method. It seems that on the basis of the Primacy of Existence (Isalat al-Wujud), any duality is artificial and unreal. Insisting on the unity of the modes and moments of reality, we can emphasize the unity of the soul and body, saying that happiness in this world and that world are in parallel. The result according to us is that the path of heaven passes through the earth, and the prosperity of the other world as the interior of this world can be possible only through the prosperity and protection of the present one.

Abstract
This paper pursues Heidegger’s interpretation about the relation between Spirit and time (Being) in Hegel’s Phenomenology of Spirit. To this end, Heidegger’s critique of Hegel on the relationship between time and Spirit; Heidegger’s interpretation of the Phenomenology as exemplifying the Cartesian-Fichtean metaphysics of the subject; and its role in articulating the modern metaphysics of ‘subjectivity’ were examined. The purpose of this dialogue is the evaluation of problems like meaning of being, the relation between time and spirit, the problematic of finitude of being and infinitude of Spirit in philosophical confrontation between Hegel and Heidegger. Finally it is concluded that in Heidegger's view, time and temporality constitutes the nature of Spirit in Hegel's philosophy, and Hegel's Spirit is “…the absolute self-presentation of reason (ratio-logos) that it manifests itself as parousia of the Absolute. With this Heidegger’s interpretation of Hegel's concept of experience as subjectivity of subject, in his view, Hegel's philosophy inevitably leads to modern metaphysics of subjectivity which achieves its culmination in the modern technology. I argue that the Critique of some commentators to Heidegger is that he forgets those aspects of Hegel’s philosophy in his confrontation with Hegel like thinking of intersubjectivity, the historicity of the experience of spirit, the role of the problem of negativity in dialectical movement and his critique of modernity.

This article is a comparative study between the ideas of Hassan Hanafi, and Mohammed Arkoun.
Hanafi is including Islamic innovators who criticizes Islamic tradition and Western civilization for liberation Muslims of The degeneration and also provide a solution for the future of Islamic societies. He believes that the full adherence to Western models for Compensation of Muslims Backwardness of is not helpful and the distance between theory and practice in the Muslim world has increased and the only way to save the Muslims from degenerating is the link between Islamic theory and practice.Mohammed Arkoun as another of Islamic prominent neo-thinkers criticizes Islamic tradition because of its nature of the non-historicity and he doesn't know Western secularism as a complete model for Muslim societies due to ignore the religious dimension. Arkoun offers his solution in the form of historic Islamic ideas that his suggestion can open a way to criticize the Islamic tradition by highlighting the rationally aspects of Islam religion. Hanafi Hassan and Mohammed Arkoun jointly use of Islamic tradition criticism and Western Civilization in order to responding to this question: What should we do for emancipation of degeneration?

The importance of modernity is because of man's place as the axis of all beings and existents like God and the World, and they get their meaning and validity in the light of him. Although man has reason and freedom and he is the noble master of all creatures, in the meanwhile, he has many defects in his existence, and his accomplishments have been gradually increased during the centuries. Hence, we can say that man actually and absolutely does not have any perfection, and he cannot get his achievements perfectly. However, with changing in the relationship between man, God, and the world during the modernity age, the whole of man's approaches to God and the world changed, and this brings about some basic problems and crises. In this process, man gained and acquired a kind of genuineness and principality towards God and the existents of world that their place and importance, especially divine truths like God, were defined in the light of human epistemic abilities and their validity were depended on human knowledge. Hence, the place of divine truths was lowered to the limits of human understanding, which I call it the humanization of divine truths. On the other hand, because of his weakness for understanding the divine truths, man has gradually put them aside from his philosophical thought, and has recognized them meaningless. In the meanwhile, he has tried to understand the empirical world and its managing without considering what is beyond it. I call this demystification of the existents by the other areas such as ethics, politics, and even science, which all of them have been depended on the human being. Consequently, certainty and truth became humanistic, that is, man became as the axis of certainty and truth, which the most important result of that is the relativity of certainty and its restriction to human knowledge, will, and ability. This paper tries to discuss the above subjects, considering some of the important thinkers of modern and postmodern philosophy like as Descartes, Kant, Nietzsche, Sartre, and Heidegger. It also attempts to show that although Heidegger complained to subjectivism and modernistic approach of truth, his effort to redefine truth and certainty was not successful and could not rescue it from a crisis. That is because he could not go beyond human understanding to reach a holy and absolute certainty and truth, while – according to this paper – the only real way is paying attention to divine certainty, revelation, and God.

In this paper it is tried to criticize Jalal Al-ahmad's conceptions of the notions of the West and Westernizaton, his understanding of the social and historical origins of Westernization, and his understanding of the tradition and the necessity of returning to it, the issue that have had a very fundamental role in the formation of the paradigm of Iranians' social thought in contemporary history. It is worthy to note that Al-ahmad's social thought has domination in recent Iranaian social sphere after elapsing about a half of century from publishing his book Westernization. Al-ahmad's veiws are criticized in the light of Iranian contemporary thinker, Ahmad Fardid's profound insigts.

The problem of knowledge, not only is one of the most important problems in modern philosophy, but also is the top of other problems. This field usually discuses issues such as the base and the source of knowledge, the object and the domain of knowledge, the value criterion of knowledge, and finally the end of knowledge .Here we are going to study the modern epistemological bases considering those elements, and to inquire the ability of the modern philosophy in proposing a complete and suitable format for the knowledge.

The present paper pursues three general objectives. In the first place, it tries to present a succinct account of the phenomenon of modernity. Secondly, it goes some way towards producing a brief and critical assessment of some aspects of this phenomenon in the context of Iran. And, thirdly, it offers some guidelines for constructing a model for developing modernity in Iran. Throughout, I shall try to be as brief as possible. This means, among other things, that the reader should lower his/her expectation of the paper to a realistic level. Any discussion of the complex phenomenon of modernity in a limited space provided for a short paper would involve, inevitably, resorting to measures such as simplification and omission. The paper does not make any claim with regard to producing solutions for the theoretical difficulties of the issue of Iranian experience of modernity. In fact, it is the present author’s firm conviction that if the present contribution to this debate could shed even a faint light on some of the lesser aspects of this issue and draw the attention of the readers to some of its not-very-well-known angles, and, by doing so, invites the readers to think afresh about this phenomenon, then the main goal of the paper is achieved.
