As a contemporary neo-Sadraian philosopher, Muhaqeq Isfahani has proposed his own account of the ontological argument for the existence of Allah. This account of the argument is unprecedented and has caught the attention of many contemporary thinkers. There have been proposed five accounts of this argument upon three pivots. First is the concept of necessary being as a mental concept. Second is the concept of necessary being so far as it denotes something beyond the concept. And third is the very reality of necessary being existing by itself in the outside world. Each of the above accounts is open to some criticisms. Prof. Mahdi Ha’iri Yazdi has leveled four criticisms at that account of the argument such as counter-argument, begging the question, the confusion of categorical proposition with non-categorical one. The proponents of ontological argument have raised objections to Ha’iri’s criticisms. Most of those objections are not valid for they stem from the insufficient consideration of the fact that concepts such as “necessary being”, “God”, “partner of Creator” and the like are philosophical secondary intelligible. Accordingly, most of Prof. Ha’iri’s criticisms against Muhaqeq Ishafani are valid and thus the ontological argument fails to prove the existence of Allah.

Although the establishment of Islamic University may be generally considered as the intellectual product of the Islamic Republic, it has been clear to the researchers that the idea is related to Pahlavi government in the early 1940s. A closer examination shows that the idea of the establishment of Islamic University can be found in an article published in Raad-e- emrooz newspaper in April 1944. Therefore, the idea was introduced two decades ago and the problem of this exploratory research, reviewing the idea of the establishment of Islamic University, was put forward 20 years before operating this plan. The method used is descriptive-analytical and the data collection was done through a Documentary method. In this study, the findings indicate that Mehdi Haeri, for the first time, presented the idea of Islamic University in Raad-e- emrooz newspaper (the official organ of the National Will Party). This idea was put forward to eliminate the moral degradation of all members in the ruling class.

The present paper is concerned with the study of a controversy over the application of the term theosophy to Islamic philosophy. From the point of view of Corbin and his followers, the application of the term philosophy in its current secular meaning to the Islamic philosophy is misleading and in contradiction with some significant elements of this philosophy and its teachings. They prefer the term theosophy due to its meaning and application since the beginning of the Hellenic philosophy. On the other hand, Ha’iri considers Islamic philosophy similar to Hellenic philosophy and from his point of view Islamic philosophers have provided commentaries on and interpretations of Aristotle’s philosophy along with Quranic references and narratives. On this basis, for him the term philosophy rather than theosophy is applicable to the Islamic tradition in philosophy. The present paper argues for the insufficiency of Ha’iri’s reasoning and Corbin’s reasoning for distinguishing between Hellenic philosophy and Islamic philosophy. The conclusion is that the Islamic philosophy is substantially based on the Hellenic philosophy but it includes a lot of innovatory additions. For this reason it is more appropriate to use the transliterated form of ‘Al-Hikmah al-Ilahiyyah’ or ‘Islamic Hikmah’ to refer to Islamic philosophy.
