Analysis of Kohlberg's theory on moral development from quran point of view

Moral development has been a noticeable social issue. The holy Quran as the most complete guiding book for humankind endorses deep teachings regarding morality. On the other hand because of importance of ethical issues, many theorists and philosophers have been trying to develop ethical and moral theories, according to their ideological and cultural back grounds. But most of them could not go beyond institutional life of human beings and failed to consider spiritual and motivational underpinnings of morality, which are deeply rooted in God creation and human nature. Although studying moral development in Quran view required a wide and deep reflection in various dimensions, this paper tries to open the discussion as an introduction for future works by analyzing the Kohlberg’s theory of moral development from Quran point of view. Method: This is a review article, which is done using library and web-based sources and deriving relevant references. Results: According to Quran, human beings pass through some stages during their lives. A similar step wised approach to moral development has been discussed in theories such as Kohlberg and Pageant’s. According to Kohlberg, steps and levels of moral development are fixed and unchangeable. In addition he mentioned that moral arguments and judgments are related to cognitive properties. But from Islamic and Quran viewpoint, moral regulations and principles are factual and abstract (Not-relative). Therefore in some dimensions views of western Theorists is completely different and even contradictory with Islamic tradition. One of These major differences is lack of a holistic approach to human moral development and lack of enough attention to spiritual and supererogatory moral ideals. Conclusion: The most important critique against Kohlberg’s theory is its relative weakness in explaining multi-dimensional nature of moral development because of its theoretical and experimental limitations. Using such western theories and instruments for evaluating moral development is not completely compatible with our religious and national culture. Although there are a number of works that try to explain moral development from Islamic (Shi’a) point of view, but very few works have used a comparative approach toward this issue. We recommend more detailed future studies about this issue.

Lifestyle and the Necessity of Lifestyle Education

Although the true and real life is materialized in the next world (afterlife) (1), and the life of this world is but play and an amusement (1, 2), and the everlasting life is in the hereafter world (3-5); but, from Quran point of view, human life in this world is temporary and short; and his life style as well as his prosperity or adversity in this passing world will have a certain impact on his eternal life in the next world. And who is blind in this life, shall be blind in the everlasting life and will be further astray from the path (6). Hence, the main task of religions, especially Islam, as the seal of religions, is to offer a life-style in which the human’s relationship with himself, God, society, environment and universe is true and humane. On the other hand, the issue of Islamic life-style is one of the important issues which all religions and human schools have been involved with. All religions claim that they offer the best lifestyle pattern. Tired of smoke and modern technology in the mess of various schools and -isms, the man has been wondering and wandering. The fact is that human who is ensnared by modernity, technology and development has got away from a healthy life-style which human nature desires. Today’s human, despite the amazing advances of science and modern medicine, is involved in a variety of physical and mental illnesses that had little or no experience of such diseases at all in the past. Walter Stacy states: “human’s confusion and unrest in the modern world is due to lack of faith and turning away from God (7) and religion. In this regard, ‘Benjamin Frankel’ writes:”wild and semi-wild tribes and nations were much happier than civilized people and they enjoyed this divine blessing far more than the developed nations (8). New civilization, which at the beginning aimed at reviving the true humanity, gave the man such originality that he fell into the pagan “humanism”. In humanism, the words “success and salvation” have been replaced with “welfare and comfort”. “Excellence” and “perfectness” have also become synonymous with “material progress” in humanism. This kind of attitude caused fundamental changes into humans’ life-style. They aimed at offering a “successful” model of their lifestyle and life skills, which was derived from liberalism and humanism ideas, to the world. It is while they remained ignorant of the truth which was within themselves and the universe. The life-style
