Abstract

In THE TRANSCENDENT PHILOSOPHY, the issue of EPISTEMOLOGY was first introduced by Allamah Tabataba' i and was later followed by MUTAHHARI in particular According to the later, only Islamic philosophy has been able to find a way out of the dead-end of knowledge. He explains the solution as follows: quiddities or primary intelligibles are the sources of abstracting such philosophical concepts as possibility, necessity, causality, etc. and since the mental existence of primary intelligibles conforms to what exists in the outside world, it is possible to attain knowledge. This paper provides an analysis and critique of the reasons given in THE TRANSCENDENT PHILOSOPHY for the conformity between mental forms and external quiddities. Concerning this theory, we can accept that SECONDARY INTELLIGIBLES are abstracted from primary ones. However, the major problems regarding the issue of knowledge are the same primary intelligibles and the reasons that justify the conformity. Considering knowledge as being evident, in fact, means erasing the problem rather than offering a solution for it. If the objection concerning the conformity between the mind and the outside is advanced, the issue of SECONDARY INTELLIGIBLES cannot solve the problem of knowledge. In THE TRANSCENDENT PHILOSOPHY, the issue of knowledge is not separable from the issues of existence and quiddity. Seemingly, the discussion of the conformity between mental and objective quiddities concerning the issue of mental existence is mainly based on the "principiality of quiddity" and not the "principiality of existence". Presenting a solution for the problem of knowledge is, of course, the subject of an independent research, and this paper merely provides a critique of the theory of knowledge in THE TRANSCENDENT PHILOSOPHY. It is hoped that, given the existing problems, other thinkers can arrive at convenient answers in this regard.
