Subject-Object Relation in Mullâ Sadrâ’s Theory of Knowledge :: Philosophy Philosophical Papers

Subject-Object Relation in Mull Sadrs speculation of KnowledgeABSTRACT Dividing fellowship to experience by presence and knowledge by representation, Mull Sadr treats the theater- aspiration relation with regard to each one of them differently. In the former, the subject is united with the object, or rather they are one, and the reality of knowledge is this very unison. In this type of knowledge, there is no medium. Such unity culminates, on the one hand, in knowledge by presence comprehensively and completely conveying the objective reality, and in its untransferability on the other. By contrast, in knowledge by representation, the subject experiences another kind of relation to the object of knowledge thanks to the presence of a medium in the subjects mind, called mental form. Mull Sadr considers mental forms as the mental globe of the same quiddities (mhyyt) existing in the outside(a) world. The only variance is that they have another type of existence. In this essay, I ar gue that this arise is congruent with the principality of quiddity, which is rejected by Mull Sadr. To be invariable with the basic pillar of Mull Sadrs philosophy, viz., the principle of existence, I form that one should begin with the continuity of existence through mental, imagery and external worlds from which the mind abstracts the same quiddity, not vice versa. The problem of the interaction betwixt subject and object in the process of cognition is a of the essence(p) issue in a theory of knowledge. Cognition, a unique windowpane on the objective world, has captured the attention and motivated research and debate by scholars in a wide variety of fields over millennia. In all discussions regarding the phenomenon of knowledge, one question has always been raised no librate what the approach, method or focus of inquiry employed. For Kant, the distinction mingled with nomenon and phenomenon and the use of categories were major concerns. For the psychology of sensation and perception, the search continues for scientific methods to settle the goal to which an individual vis vis the environment effects the content, as well as the form, of afferent perception. In the tradition of Islamic philosophy, discussion revolves around the relation between lim and malm (knower and known). The question, expressed more precisely is How frequently of what we know can be credited to objective reality per se, and how more than is the creation, influence, or interference, of our mental power? It might also be asked how much(prenominal) and in what ways this influence alters the reality of the object of our cognitive system.
