Abstract :
Semantic research, semantic research has been based on the Izutsu method, and a large number of articles have been published based on this method. But less research has been paid attention to the etymology of this method. And most of the researches conducted in this field have only been satisfied with the semantic aspect of this method, so this question remains unanswered, which philosophical theory is this semantic method based on? Is it a modern or postmodern view? In the meantime, the importance of answering this question is that it clarifies what was the paradigm of Izetsu in the design of this model and whether this view is consistent with what the Qur'an itself is trying to express or is this theory merely a way to answer the criteria of philosophy. The West is based on holy texts such as the Quran. In this field, it is not possible to obtain a research that can directly answer the mentioned question, therefore, the mentioned article is responsible for answering this question. And it has been concluded that Izutsu's method is neither a purely modern view nor an absolutely post-modern view. Rather, it is an eclectic view of both philosophies, which has accepted the postmodern relativistic view in ontology and used the structuralism and utilitarianism of modern philosophy in methodology.
