چکیده:
Man’s tendency towards spirituality is becoming very important today. Various and sometimes contradictory views, including the theory of modern spirituality were presented in this regard. According this approach, religious spirituality has lost its effect on modern man and increased his suffering and made him more confused. Therefore, this theory seeks to evolve a new design and a kind of spirituality which suits the needs of modern man and which is in line with the requirements of modernity. Making a comparative-critical study of the approach to religious spirituality and thr approach to modern spirituality the present study tries to show the value and validity of each of these two approaches from the perspective of "rationality of faith". Makin a library-based study and using a descriptive-analytical method, the research findings show that religious spirituality has superiority in this confrontation. Modern spirituality faces a serious challenge as a result of distinguishing faith from knowledge and reasoning, accepting unrealistic kind of faith about the legitimacy and logically defending devotional beliefs and also its own spiritual beliefs against the opposing views. This research also points out to the other major drawbacks of this theory.

Yes, from this perspective, if the reach of the intellect's theory is short of metaphysics, or if the criterion for the truthfulness and veracity of a belief is summarized solely in sensation and experience, or if faith is considered merely a subjective matter, or if the issue of faith is identified as non-cognitive, in such cases, there is no way for the realm of reason to reach the threshold of faith; however, it must be said: according to religious thought, firstly, theoretical rationality has the capacity to understand metaphysical issues; secondly, realities in sensation and experience are not summarized, thirdly, faith does not merely narrate an internal matter, and fourthly, faith is subject to truth or falsehood (Rashad and Asadi, 1389, p.
The modern spiritual human encounters non-rational teachings, or rather religious beliefs, with a completely functionalist approach (ibid, 1385, p.
