چکیده:
Professor Toshihiko Izutsu, a Japanese linguist, philosopher, Islamic scholar, and Quranic researcher (1914-1993), in addition to translating the Holy Quran into Japanese, has two Quranic works titled 'God and Man in the Quran' and 'Ethico-Religious Concepts in the Quran,' in which he addresses the basic structure of Quranic teachings with a semantic approach. He is influenced by the ethnolinguistic school or the structuralist school, according to which every language has its own unique worldview. With a scientific background in linguistics and philosophy, he examines the semantics of key Quranic words and attempts to reach the harmonious Quranic system by discovering the semantic connections of words within an extensive semantic network. In his method, he utilizes both synchronic and diachronic semantics; in synchronic semantics, he follows seven principles that are examined and critiqued from various aspects in the present research. Neglecting sentence semantics and contextual meaning, unfamiliarity with different schools of semantics and one-dimensionality, disregard for the difference in individual understanding in the period following the revelation of the Holy Quran, the lack of criteria in determining pivotal words, a philosophical vision derived from non-Islamic sources, and weak familiarity with rhetorical sciences, are among the axes of the critique of Izutsu's methodology in this article.

A Critique and Review of Izutsu's Views in the Field of Quranic Semantics Ali Sharifi * Abstract Professor Toshihiko Izutsu, a Japanese linguist, philosopher, Islamic scholar, and Quranic researcher (1914-1993), in addition to having translated the Holy Quran into Japanese, possesses two Quranic works titled God and Man in the Quran and also Moral-Religious Concepts in the Quran, in which he has addressed the explanation of the basic structure of Quranic teachings with a semantic approach.
Neglect of sentence semantics and semantic context, unfamiliarity with different schools of semantics and one-dimensionality, disregard for the difference in individual understanding in the period after the revelation of the Holy Quran, the absence of criteria in determining pivotal words, a philosophical view stemming from non-Islamic sources, and weak familiarity with rhetorical sciences, are among the focal points of the critique of Izutsu's methodology in this article.
Introduction In the present research, an effort is made to methodologically examine, analyze, and critique the semantic views of Professor Toshihiko Izutsu (Toshihiko Izutsu), the Japanese linguist, philosopher, Islamic scholar, and Quranic researcher (1914-1993), whose two works titled God and Man in the Quran and also Moral-Religious Concepts in the Quran are mentioned.
Izutsu's familiarity with different languages, especially Greek and Arabic, as well as his interest in Islamic thought and generally great Eastern thoughts, led him to conduct valuable research in three fields: Quranic studies, philosophy, and mysticism, the result of which is more than 120 scientific-research works that remain as his legacy in written and oral forms.
