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

Subject-Object Relation in Mull Sadrs Theory of KnowledgeABSTRACT Dividing noesis to companionship by presence and knowledge by representation, Mull Sadr treats the subject-object relation with love to each one of them differently. In the former, the subject is united with the object, or instead they are one, and the naturalism of knowledge is this very unity. In this type of knowledge, on that point 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 some other kind of relation to the object of knowledge thanks to the presence of a medium in the subjects mind, called amiable form. Mull Sadr considers mental forms as the mental public of the same quiddities (mhyyt) existing in the external world. The only difference is that they have another type of existence. In this essay, I argue that this approach is congruent with the principality of quiddity, which is rejected by Mull Sadr. To be consistent with the basic pillar of Mull Sadrs philosophy, viz., the principle of existence, I hold that one should begin with the continuity of existence through mental, imagery and external worlds from which the mind abstracts the same quiddity, not transgression versa. The problem of the interaction between subject and object in the carry through of cognition is a crucial issue in a supposition of knowledge. Cognition, a unique window on the objective world, has captured the attention and motivate re anticipate and debate by scholars in a wide strain of fields over millennia. In all passwords regarding the phenomenon of knowledge, one question has endlessly been raised no matter what the approach, method or focus of interrogatory employed. For Kant, the distinction between nomenon and phenomenon and the determination of categories were major concerns. For the ps ychology of sensation and perception, the search continues for scientific methods to settle the extent to which an individual vis vis the environment effects the content, as well as the form, of sensory perception. In the tradition of Islamic philosophy, discussion revolves around the relation between lim and malm (knower and known). The question, convey more precisely is How much of what we know can be credit to objective reality per se, and how much is the creation, influence, or interference, of our mental power? It great power also be asked how much and in what ways this influence alters the reality of the object of our cognitive system.
