Abstract
With the help of modern science - both natural sciences and humanities - the new Western civilization has been able to transcend man and the universe and create a new world for man. The humanities, as the software of the new Western civilization, have their own epistemological, ontological, anthropological, and value-based foundations.The requirement for accepting this civilization and consequently these sciences is to accept these principles. Can the humanities be accepted along with these principles? This research, using a descriptive-analytical method, aims to answer this question from a Quranic perspective based on the interpretive thought of one of the leading commentators of the present era - Allamah Misbah Yazdi.On this basis, first, the anthropological foundations of modern science were identified and then examined based on the interpretative views of Allamah Misbah Yazdi. The results indicate that all the anthropological foundations of modern science, which include naturalism, negation of ultimate goals and objectives, anthropocentrism, individualism, mechanism, and the objectification of man, are not acceptable based on the verses of the Quran based on the interpretation of Allamah Misbah Yazdi and are subject to numerous problems.
