Intellectual Fictions in View of Suhrawardi (Studying the Rule of " That Repeating of Everythinglead to Impossibility That is Fiction"

The rule of “repeating of everything leads to impossibility that is fiction” that has been provided by Suhrawardi in illuminationist theosophy, is one of the issues of intellectual fictions and expressing the impossibility of the external realization of the examples of concepts such as: existence, essence, thingness, etc. This rule that has been regulated in the form of an objection to Peripatetic philosophers, states that the external realization of such concepts entails the endless chain and it is impossible. Based on this criticism, Suhrawardi negates the Peripatetic foundational principle about the metaphysical distinction between existence and essence, so he denies the combination of existence and essence in contingent things. He considers that the only reality is the various lights that are actualized essences or quiddities. This principle has also influenced other philosophers such as Mulla Sadra and has had special implications in transcendental philosophy that we can refer to some principles such as principality of existence and fictitiousness of quiddity and paying attention to the existence in opposite of its concept.
