This article aims at revealing the details of the reception of a philosophical doctrine, emerged firstly in ancient Greek thought from the aspiration of answering to the question of how the virtues are related, by one of the foremost figures of Islamic Philosophy, Raghib al-Isfahani (d. V./XIth Century). The doctrine, which is called The Unity of the Virtues in modern ethical literature, was accepted and after a particular kind of interpretation, was transformed into a solution by him. However, this solution was encapsulated, and as is, it is far away from giving satisfactory responses to the inquiries intended for its consistency and explanatoriness. Thereby, it needs to be grounded and elaborated by staying within the boundaries of the philosophy of al-Isfahani. To that end, this paper will firstly show how the doctrine emerged and then analyze its reception by al-Isfahani.

Psychology, which lasted for many years under the roof of Philosophy, became an independent discipline when Wundt founded his first psychology laboratory in 1879. This independence is not enough to be a branch of science like physics, which psychology desires because it expresses spiritual sciences as a concept. For this reason, modern psychology has pushed her out of her main field of study because of the metaphysical nature of the concept of soul. Modern psychology has not only made the concept of soul the subject of study as visible or measurable features of human but has also excluded religious subjects from the study area with the claim that it is against scientificness. This situation led to the rejection of the fields of objective religious reality and subjective religious reality, which are the main subjects of the study of religion, on the grounds that it cannot be the subject of scientific research. The objective of this study is to discuss the approach of the approach of the religion psychologist to the objective religious reality, the subjective religious reality, and subjective religious meaning.
