Abstract

The current study is seeking to investigate primordial nature (fitrah) as a stimulus for history in philosophy of history from the view point of Allameh Tabatabaei. Obviously, understanding this issue depends on knowledge of eras of history from his point of view. The hinted history by Allameh, is the history of nations and people; and in his system of thinking it is divided into 3 eras of "simplicity", "unity of nations", and “sense and material”. Primordial nature in the first era showed itself in the form of the feature of employing and regarding the total features of these two eras, the principle of employment was enough for the movement of society. Certainly, employment like other practical principles and other tendencies of primordial nature was apt to error. This issue emerged well by more progress and complexity in societies. So, in the third era, there was a need for another factor to avoid obstacles in the way of perfection. This factor is revelation and religion. They must also accord with primordial nature; otherwise, they could not have a role in the movement of history. Such primordial nature has had a role in all three eras of history.
