Abstract

Decision-making is one of the most important aspects of human life; however, it has been neglected in philosophical discourse. The following question is handled in this research: “What kind model can be presented for decision-making based on the analysis of the ideas of transcendental philosophers such as Mulla Sadra, Allameh Tabatabaei and Allameh Motahhari?” This qualitative research follows library method for data collection and content analysis for analyzing the data. According to the research findings, various components of the three human aspects (cognitive, emotional and behavioral areas) and their components are effective in human decision-making. However, the analysis of decision-making model should be comprehensive, and all of its components must be taken into account. Each of these components involves its own attractiveness and draws the attention of decision-makers.  Some of these fascinations are consistent and some others are non-contiguous. They vary a lot in in terms of intensity and power. Finally, according to the findings of the research, it is the "total attraction balance" that governs the decision. The option whose components are more powerful and more substantial, and therefore its total attraction by the supporting components are more, can dominate the decision-making. This analysis of decision-making is presented in the form of a conceptual model called "human aspect measurement theory in the analysis of decision-making pattern".
