Abstract
The objective of the present study is to explain the inference of educational
connotations of Imam Khomeini’s semiotic approach to the universe. The
semiotic approach to the universe from the Islamic point of view is based on the
assumption that all phenomena of the universe have an ultimate existential origin
and source that end in a divine source. This approach lends itself to thoughtful
research in Imam Khomeini’s viewpoint. In the present article, first, detailed
explanation of the principles of semiotic approach to the universe in Imam
Khomeini’s viewpoint is explained, and, then their educational connotations are
inferred. The method employed in the present study is descriptive-analytical. The
descriptive-analytical method was used to answer the first question and practical
analogy was used to answer the second question. The results showed that
Imam Khomeini has a semiotic approach to the universe and some educational
connotations can be inferred from it, which include the followings: Compatibility
of semiotic approach with human rationality, rational relationship of sciences
with semiotic approach, moral and axiological relationship between sciences and
semiotic approach, the requirements of correct scientific orientation, and, finally
the principle of confrontation and interaction of morality and reason and practice
