Abstract

Theological perspectives on human nature have profoundly shaped the moral, legal, and institutional structures of civilizations across history. From Abrahamic to Eastern religious traditions, the understanding of humans as inherently good, evil, or dualistic beings has influenced views on governance, law, ethics, education, and societal organization. This article explores comparative theological conceptions of human nature, focusing on Islamic, Christian, Hindu, and Confucian thought, and critically analyzes how these views have impacted the evolution of various civilizations. Emphasizing the role of doctrine in shaping cultural narratives, the article investigates the integration of theology into civilizational identities and policy frameworks.
