Abstract

The famous dispute between Illumination Philosophy of Sohrawardi and Transcendental Philosophy of Sadr al Motaallehin is on the denotation of the term “ wojud” (exis tence). While Sohrawardi says nothing is denoted by this term so “ there is nothing in reality the nature of which is exis tence” , Sadr al Motallehin says “ the only genuine reality is exis tence” , so, the term denotes. Among Sadr al Motaallehin’ s replies to Sohrawadi s tands out his new analysis of the predicate “ mowjud” (exis tent) in terms of “ that which exis ts” rather than “ an entity possessing exis tence” . Through this new analysis, he tries to retain the traditional belief that “ wojud” is a univocal term, count the term among denoting ones and at the same time, block the infinite regress. We can take issue with him on behalf of Sohrawadi: the new analysis is either applicable to all derivations of words that share the form “ mowjud” or is peculiar to this word alone. The firs t option faces numerous counter examples. The second amounts to begging the ques tion. Consequently, we can defend Sohrawardi’ s position: the term “ mowjud” is either equivocal or fails to denote anything objective and refers only to a subjective conventional concept. This difference of opinion s tems from a more profound one about the semantic theory of general terms or predicates.
