Absolute perfectionism, the basis of moral realism

Pages 1-14

mohammad Sarbakhshi

Abstract Every moral school must show its rationality in four elements: logical, epistemological, semantic and ontological. Below each of these elements are questions that need to be answered in order to form a complete moral theory. The most important question concerns the ontological element, Its meaning is the determination whether the value and moral obligation are real or unreal. And there is a fundamental approach to this: realism and moral unrealism. Realists have used various things as the basis for proving realism, the most recent of which is the reliance on the love of nature. Our effort is to show that the above question can be answered on the basis of perfection. Perfection means either human or divine perfection. Relying on human perfection, a secular approach to moral values can be adopted and at the same time the rationality of moral values can be explained, but by relying on divine perfection, the most logical and reasonable justification for moral values is provided and the highest moral value makes sense.

Abstract Freemasonry, which began its political activities with the efforts of the British government in the 17th century, gradually spread its ideals globally among Western and Eastern civilizations. In line with the initial conditions of the early Qajar era, the wave of this movement also affected the reign of Fathali Shah Qajar and from that time on, Iranians became familiar with this movement in various ways. This familiarity created new awareness and motivations among the upper classes and Iranian diplomats, who turned the lodges into a center for introducing new programs and ideals to Iranian society. Antiquity as a Masonic-Western ideal sought to replace itself in the world by fading and sidelining the religious culture of nations. The aim of this paper is to answer the question of whether Freemasons and their organizations played a role in the ancient tendencies of Iranians and confronting religious thought from the constitutional period to Pahlavi. The result of the research shows that Freemasonry revived and nurtured the ancient thoughts of Iranians, which had existed in the minds of Iranians for centuries, in the 18th century, and promoted it to an ideological thought with a plan to confront religious thought. Masonic teachings caused them to highlight the history of ancient Iran and praise this period, and to attribute the backwardness of Iranians to the Arab invasion and the prevalence of religious thought.

The method of the current research was semi-experimental with a pre-test-post-test design. The statistical population of this study included all students of Arak University. The sample of the research was selected in the direct method and 58 people were selected and they were placed in two different groups by matching. The instrument used in the present study was the self-directed learning scale of Pintrich and DeGroot (1990). Descriptive and inferential statistical methods of univariate and multivariate covariance analysis were used to analyze the data. The results of univariate covariance analysis showed that reverse learning did not have a significant effect on students' self-directed learning, but it had a significant and positive effect on students' academic progress. Also, the findings of multivariate covariance analysis indicated that reverse learning did not have a significant effect on students' cognitive strategies and metacognitive strategies.

Among the most important findings of the research, we can point to the fact that Prophet David was the Messiah in the Old Testament, his infallibility in the view of the Qur'an, many miracles and the divine nature of his rule in two documents.
