This study addresses the contemporary human’s identity crisis, proposing strategies for its prevention and therapy, grounded in the philosophical principles of the Transcendent Philosophy (Ḥikmat-i Muta‘āliya), with a particular emphasis on ʿAllāmah Ṭabāṭabāʾī’s works. These proposed approaches align with the discipline of philosophical counselling and therapy or, in traditional terms, the healing of the soul (ṭibb al-rūḥānī). The research method is rational-analytical, involving systemic, propositional, and conceptual analysis of ʿAllāmah Ṭabāṭabāʾī’s views. According to principles derived from his works, some strategies are achieved. Based on analytical findings derived from his works, the following philosophical foundations address the causes and manifestations of the contemporary human’s identity crisis. Some have preventive efficacy; others serve therapeutic functions. These include: 1. The primacy of existence (aṣālat al-wujūd), gradation in being (tashkīk al-wujūd), and substantial motion (ḥarakat al-jawharī); 2. The contingency of indigence (imkān-i faqīrī); 3. The concept of the simple reality as encompassing all things while being none of them (basīṭ al-ḥaqīqah kull al-ashyāʾ wa laysa bi-shayʾ minhā); 4. Moderation in delineating virtues and vices; 5. The doctrine of the best possible arrangement of things (niẓām-i aḥsan); 6. Essential and existential possibility; 7. The need of the effect for the cause to exist; 8. Teleological orientation of all voluntary actions; 9. Divine providence, knowledge, and attributes; 10. The meaning of life; 11. The telos of the human being (true happiness and perfection). These foundations cultivate awareness in individuals regarding the truth of their essence, their ultimate purpose, and authentic perfection. They also serve to prevent and therapy the various symptoms and causes of identity crisis, including heedlessness, false aims, artificial needs, aimless engagement, a sense of meaninglessness, spiritual poverty, suppressed innate tendencies, a sense of not being a criterion, false long-term ideals, lack of purpose in life, irresponsibility, anxiety, despair, laziness, and more.
