Abstract

Nietzsche's anthropology is based on the foundations of materialistic and empiricist thoughts and has reflections worthy of attention. The present research has been done with the descriptive-analytical method in the field of anthropology from Nietzsche's point of view and its consequences in the opinion of some Islamic thinkers. Some of the findings and results of the research are as follows: Nietzsche, by denying rationalism, pushes man to the border of absurdity, then to save him, he tries to institutionalize the belief in man that power originates in him. In this regard, in Nietzsche's view, the superman is a person who has brought all his power to the fore to dominate others as much as possible. Whereas, in the eyes of Islamic thinkers, man has two dimensions, material and spiritual, and the negation of rationalism and confronting divine thoughts is the cause of discrediting wisdom. They believe that power is realized in an independent way for God, and although power is desirable for humans in some cases, it is ugly if it is aimed at oppressing others. According to their belief, the source of Nietzsche's nihilism is the negation of spiritual matters and the idea of godliness, because closeness to God as a basic goal gives identity to human life.
