Construction and reforming of Moral character and the affect factors From Motahhari's Perspective

Abstract

The aim of the present study was to construct and correct the moral character and the factors affecting it from Shahid Motahari's view. Ethics is one of the most important aspects of human personality, and the subject of "moral character" is considered a sub-category of topics in the psychology of ethics.The important question in this regard begins with the question of whether moral character is formed before birth and is naturally present in the human body or is it acquired. If formation is acquired, what factors are effective in its formation and correction? And if moral character deviates for some reason, is it possible to correct it?According to the questions raised, this study seeks to find an answer to these questions after examining the views of Shahid Motahhari. The research method was descriptive-analytical and using text analysis method.The results of the study showed that unlike some Western philosophers who have a one-dimensional approach to this issue, Shahid Motahhari is a comprehensive thinker and has a broad and comprehensive view of issues.In addition to accepting the issue of constructing and reforming moral character, he also considers it to be influenced by various factors such as age, parents, self-purification, conscience, wisdom, faith, role modeling and discretion. Therefore, it can be claimed that his view on this issue has a special comprehensiveness.
