Abstract

The current research seeks to investigate the anthropoeconomics of civilization in the Sana'i intellectual system using the work of "Hadiqa". Classical economics defines a person as a maximizer of personal benefit and considers the main characteristic of a person to be utilitarian. The study of the foundations presented by Sana'i for the model of economic man shows that, in the thought of this Muslim mystic, man has an existence beyond material existence, because his intellectual system is based on maximizing material, spiritual and hereafter benefits and prevents greed and extravagance. He knows for human excellence. In fact, human economy is based on values ​​and norms from Sana's point of view, and only in this way can Islamic civilization be formed. He considers the human interest in greed to be an obstacle to the proper distribution of wealth. Sana'i believes that the acquisition of wealth should have limits, it should not be for wealth accumulation and surplus to the essential needs of the world.
This article tries to answer the question of what is the difference between the economic man from the western perspective and the Islamic-mystical economic man who made the civilization of Hadeegh.
