Abstract
Today, due to the development in experimental science of nutrition, emergence of news feeding styles and qualitative and quantitative expansion of foods, the necessity of studying human nutrition from a philosophical and religious point of view is spontaneously aroused. This research had adopted an applied philosophical method to explore nutrition as a critical dimension associated Man and provide a philosophical explanation on the relationship between nutrition and human soul and thought through philosophical and logical reasoning. According to this approach, though associated with the bodily (material) dimension of Man, nutrition affects spiritual dimension of Man because soul and body are interrelated. Thus, nutrition, as a non-epistemic factor, determines human thought and belief in a way that some human thoughts are absolutely determined by nutrition. Explaining and submitting evidence on this relationship has applied contributions and leads to ethical and instructional implications.
