Abstract:
There are many arguments in order to prove of being of God. One of the well-known arguments for the existence of God is “proof from contingency and necessity”. It was Avicenna who first, in his works, formulated this argument. the Islamic and Western thinkers after Avicienna has presented accounts of this argument.This argument has been criticized by Gazzali, Averroes and Molla Sadra, in the world of Islam and by Hume, Kant, Russell and others in the west.
Mulla Sadra has criticized Ibn Sinas’account of proof from contingency and necessity directly and indirectly. These critiques that has came into his works, are the incorrectness of quality of this argument, the use of vicious circle and infinite regress, the use of non-concrete being instead of real being, and the fallacy of composition. The study of these critiques shows validity or inefficiency of them.
This article seeks to make clear the correctness or incorrectness of these critiques in a descriptive, analytic and critical way.
