A Critique of the Goals of the Domain of Religious and Moral Education Approved by the Supreme Council of Education

The purpose of this study is to critique the goals of the domain of religious and moral education approved by the Supreme Council of Education. The criticism has been launched in the dimensions of the foundations and the methods for reaching the goals. The findings of this study show that the philosophical foundations of these goals are the theory of religious good and evil or the theory of divine command which is in conflict with the pre-religious ethics, the signs and evidence of which exist in the Islamic religious sources, and the relevant theoretical views are contained in the theoretical foundations of the document of The Fundamental Change. Also, these goals lead to a moral education emcompassed in the religious education while this type of moral education will not be effective in today's conditions.
