Abstract

Nature has been discussed by scientists for a long time, which has been discussed in various ways and many efforts have been made to understand and explain it, and on the other hand, moral epistemology is one of the topics of transethics (ethical philosophy minus normative ethics). The current research seeks to explain the role of nature from the perspective of the Qur'an as one of the most complex and important tools of moral epistemology, which is a discussion of the pure moral philosophy of the Qur'an, that is, the meta-ethics of the Qur'an. In this regard, the article, relying on the verse 30 of Surah Rum, has explained the nature as well as topics related to the philosophy of Quranic ethics. In this direction, it has been attempted to clarify the functioning of nature, in the realization of meta-ethical knowledge, despite the fact that nature is unchangeable from the Qur'an's point of view, and on the other hand, the growth and difference in human civilizations are evident; And it has come to the conclusion that over time, the function of meta-ethical epistemology of nature improves, not that there is a change in it. How the propositions approved by nature, in order to realize the moral knowledge of the Qur'an, was also discussed. In this research, in order to determine the unique and key application of nature, in line with the meta-ethical epistemology of the Quran;
