Abstract

The main Purpose of this study is the exploration of childhood nature from the perspective of Islamic action theory. For this purpose, conceptual analysis, conception development method was used. So anthropological foundations of Islamic view of action were redefined with regard to the childhood. Regarding the nature of childhood from the perspective of Islamic action theory, on the overall look, one can say that childhood is a period of transition to the agency. In this context, some features of childhood can be noted. Assuming Islamic view and its philosophical perspective on human being, we provide some descriptive foundational statements about child nature. “Child's Fitr desire is purer”, “desires and will are intertwined in children” and “the child has the Thinking ability” are some of anthropological descriptive foundations of the child from the perspective of Islamic action theory.
