Abstract

The topic of the research deals with a study of the concept of Internalism and how it crystallized through what was presented by contemporary Western philosophy and what was presented by contemporary Arab philosophy (specifically, the doctrine of jawaniya according to Dr. Othman Amin) and analyzed the ideas of the followers of the Internalism doctrine and some of the ideas of their opponents. We tried to define the features of this concept that was formulated in a philosophical doctrine that sheds light On a fundamental aspect of human existence is the spiritual aspect that relates to motivations, emotions and desires, and this is what the Internalists have emphasized in contemporary Western philosophy, As for what Dr. Othman Amin tried to present through his conception of the doctrine of Al-Jawaniya is the assertion that it is a doctrine that tries to promote human existence through which man always searches for the ideal and emphasizes the link between the world of spirit and the world of matter on the practical value of the moral action as well as the theoretical value.
