Abstract
Purpose: Undoubtedly, among various philosophical topics, issues
related to perception and knowledge have been the place of
controversy and battle of opinions more than any other topic. This
matter has fully crystallized and reached its peak among Western
philosophers, especially during the last few centuries; Analyzing the
relationship between faith and Islamic knowledge is one of the most
important issues of religious anthropology.
Materials and Methods: Contemporary epistemologists have an
analytical approach to knowledge. The problem of analyzing or
defining knowledge is one of the most difficult and disputed topics
in contemporary epistemology. In some cases, the goal is the way a
person acquires knowledge, which is a psychological matter.
Sometimes, what is meant is what conditions must be prepared in
order to achieve knowledge, so that we can achieve the goal, which
is the responsibility of the philosopher and is possible through the
philosophical analysis of knowledge.
Findings: Many epistemologists are not satisfied with explaining
the meaning of the word and do not focus on its philosophical
analysis. In epistemology, the psychological approach is out of the
scope of discussion. In relation to the issue of the ways of obtaining
knowledge and knowledge, rationalists generally believe that the
mind has a set of instincts that provide the basis for previous
knowledge, but empiricists deny that such instincts exist. Knowing
the truth of science and perception and how to achieve perceptions
in general, and intellectual perceptions in particular, has been
assigned a special place in the thought of Muslim philosophers and
sages for a long time. Sadr al-Mutalahin is one of the Muslim
philosophers who has dealt with this issue extensively and
differently from other philosophers.
Conclusion: In this article, the authors intend to use analyticaldescriptive method to explain the fundamental principles of Sadra's
Islamic thought about science, to explain three apparently different
theories from Mulla Sadra regarding the quality of obtaining rational
perceptions or rationality and intuition in the style of Suhrawardi's
Islamic thought. The sum between these two theories and its
reference to the various evolutions and developments of the soul
should also be discussed.
