IntroductionA close look at the state of education in Iran and the world shows that despite all efforts to raise the quality of education and upbringing of decent, cultured, and socialized people, human societies are still facing many problems in this field. The way out of these problems is to develop an educational system suitable for human needs and talents. Anthropology is the general title and system of knowledge that includes any understanding of human beings from a philosophical, mystical, moral, and experimental point of view (Khosrupanah, 2014, p. 46). Without knowing human beings, it is not possible to know their talents and needs. with the correct knowledge of man and his various dimensions of existence, one can make the correct use of his talents. In other words, by knowing human beings, human talents can flourish. On the other hand, without knowing humans, the basic problem of education will not reach its final solution; That is, until the human being is unknown, it is not possible to present a correct educational system for the growth of the human being (Nasri, 2014, p. 29).Literature ReviewOver the past years, various researches have been conducted in order to analyze the ideas of martyr Motahari. For example, Hosseini (2009) in his work entitled "Religious-Educational Anthropology" has tried to show that the Islamic educational system pays attention to the elements and factors of the divine education of man and all the necessary propositions in the movement towards excellence. Karami (2007) in a research entitled "Human; Known Creature" investigated topics such as succession and guidance, legislative guidance and human perfection, moral guidance and inspiration, human inner desires and instincts, human knowledge and cognition, human psychological personality, and social life. Also, there have been researches in the field of moral education, such as Mousavi Faraz (2017), who in his research mainly focused on moral education based on the relationship between ethics and religion, the place of human dignity in moral education, and the place of truth and affection in moral education. Based on this, it can be seen that a complete semantic network of educational requirements according to the philosophy of Professor Motahari has not been presented. Based on this, in this research, we are trying to analyze the anthropology of Professor Shahid Morteza Motahari and explore the semantic network of educational requirements related to this anthropology.MethodologyThis research has a qualitative approach and has used descriptive-analytical and inferential research methods. The qualitative approach uses qualitative data to understand and explain phenomena and often seeks to understand the meanings, concepts, explanations, and characteristics of the subject under study (Delavar, 2019, p. 308). The first-hand documents used are the works of Professor Motahari and some articles and books of other researchers. To identify, extract, and categorize concepts, MaxQDA software and its coding tool were used. Qualitative content analysis is a method of subjectively interpreting the content of textual data through the processes of systematic classification, coding, and thematization. (Iman, 2011, p. 88). The qualitative content analysis method is a method to find the connection between different concepts and to recognize conceptual relationships.ResultsThis research shows that Shahid Motahari in his works, first by stating the existing distinctions between humans and other animals concludes that the superiority of humans over animals lies in special human tendencies that are embedded in human nature. Then, in the next stage, by distinguishing between the good and bad people of history and showing the reason for the privilege of the first group over the second group, he introduces human values as the criteria of humanity and finally argues that human values are the special human tendencies that are rooted in his human nature. These values, which are potentially present in human nature, are the special human talents that Shahid Motahari calls them human nature. In light of such knowledge, he believes that in education, it is necessary to know the human being, human talents, the details of the human mind, emotions and feelings, and even the supernatural root of human existence.DiscussionAccording to Shahid Motahari, a human is a creature with many privileges that distinguish him from other creatures, especially animals. What forms the foundation of human existence in nature (Fetrat), and Professor Motahari explains this issue completely by presenting the theory of nature. According to him, the main difference between humans and other living beings is the special human tendencies and the existence of freedom and choice. This point divides the duty of the teacher in the field of education into two very important parts. In the first part, the duty of the teacher is to provide the facilities, meet the needs of the student, and remove the existing obstacles and limitations for the flourishing of human talents. In the second part, the teacher has the duty of providing a system among human talents for the harmonious development of all of themConclusionIt is necessary to maintain a balance among all men's natural talents in human education. Paying attention to some talents and cultivating them, fighting with others, and not creating a balance between them, make a person a dangerous being. Accordingly, in order to answer the question of "how should a human being be educated", from the point of view of Professor Motahari, it can be said that every human being should be educated in such a way that he reaches his own goal; it means that his talents should be recognized and nurtured. That is, based on the knowledge of nature, we should cultivate all our talents in harmony with nature.

IntroductionNature is a theophany of divinity and motion which human lives are considered on it. Human essence along with nature, could lead to a spiritual journey and also help manifest new science to a better green and clean world. Theosophist person is watchful in holly nature and in his search toward the semantics of all creation, could feel the essence of all the beings. Mollasadra is one of those theosophists and philosophers, who have a knowledge of the being of things, and his spiritual journey is based on the essential idea of existence. That’s why his philosophy could be applicable in all periods of human science. His model of Transcendent theosophy which is based on Human, reality, and existence, is an important subject that can be applicable to the model of Human, Nature, and Architecture.The aim of this research is to express the semantic relation of divinity within nature, with human transcendence of soul, in order to reach new philosophical and scientific relation between Mollasadra's theories of nature with Biophilic technologies, to increase the quality of life.
Literature ReviewTrans-substantial Motion theory of Molasadra explains that the being of all existents, from imperfection to perfection are in motion. Therefore, the essence of all existents is in motion. The proof of such theories in the material and scientific world is important. Digital technologies in all fields are a good example of creating a virtual connection between things and their beings.According to philosophical theories of Fundamental reality of existence, Gradation of being and Trans- Substantial Motion, Mollasadra proves that nature with all its little bits is a motion, and the least concept for it is to attain perfection. Nature is the whole material in front of the immaterial world, while nature from another point of view is an inner power that orders the whole creation with divine order. It also means the simple indivisible essence of humans. Therefore nature via being a material output is also an inner quality that is one essence of humans and the world. The qualitative side of nature is applicable to basic philosophical theories.The world today is dealing with different sorts of problems in the living environment. Sustainable development was a perfect solution to this damaged world, sustainable design attempts to recognize this chaos and bring the world peace and welfare. A unity of reaching and feeling happiness is percept within all concepts and theories of trans-substantial motion to sustainable design and smart biophilic technologies via energy transformation. These theories and methods were all attempting to create a better living environment for human beings.MethodologyThe research is an interdisciplinary inquiry based on Mollasadra's philosophy and Biophilic design. Therefore understanding the clear vision of professors on these two topics was essential. Also since the aim of this research is the relation between the spiritualities of nature and the perfection of the human soul via creating scientific and philosophical aspects, designing space according to new modern biophilic technologies, in order to improve the quality of life in the living spaces, is important.The qualitative research method (Grounded theory) of Strauss and Corbin, which tries to reveal the correlation of interaction of beings, is used in this research. Therefore eighteen deep interviews, in the field of Philosophy and Architecture have been done, and the data have been analyzed with MAXQDA software. As a result, 89 definitions were found which were categorized in 24 meanings, and landed on a paradigm.ResultsThe semantic analysis of the relation between Humans and Nature according to Mollasadra's Transcendental Knowledge, speaks about Biophilic Design and Mollasadra philosophy. The interdisciplinary research on these two subjects is an innovation that expresses a philosophical matter in the modern world of design.The findings of the definitions, purpose, and categorized meanings, were assorted in two tables. Table 1, defines nature as the reason for human development, which proves that, through all periods of human development, nature played a significant role in the perfection of mind, body, and living environment. Table 2 is about Divine Vicegerent. This is a term that arises from the Quran, but has a universal meaning in all civilizations. This part of the research emphasizes the relation of Divine Vicegerent and Architect, on how according to spiritualities, they create and build their living environment, which via perfecting the soul will improve quality of life.ConclusionMollasadra’s Transcendental Knowledge, along with many supernaturalism and theism philosophies, attempts to reach wisdom that physically and spiritually improves human well-being and acts in order to create better living conditions. This attempt is based on the relation between the essence of nature with human beings. Trans-substantial motion through reaching the reality of essence transforms the human soul to feel happiness and let other human beings enjoy it, and living in an intelligent architectural space, that its aim is beneficiary renewable energies in the buildings, accomplishes this concept. Living in Biophilic places raises both the human soul and the quality of life. The industrial world today, is in need of new technologies to create natural spaces in small human living environments such as House Vertical Farm or Green Living Walls. The findings of the paradigm express the clear philosophical relation of nature and the human living environment, which explains the essence of human beings in the vicinity of nature, flows to its perfection.
