The Effectiveness of Sadra's Philosophy in Theologico-Intellectual Discussions

In this research it has been intended to investigate the epistemological position of mystical discovery in the philosophy of Sadr al-Mutallahin and also to examine whether, based on this position, this philosophy can be used in theologico-rational proofs for the general public? This research has performed by an analytico-descriptive method and library-based technique for collecting data. The findings of the research indicate that there is disagreement among the researchers regarding the place of discovery in the methodology of transcendent wisdom; Although kashf, intuition, is not regarded as a precedent in philosophical reasoning, but the role of purity of  human soul and tenderness of human nature and kashf in understanding Sadra's deep rational teachings, makes understanding this philosophy out of the reach of the public (non-explorers or those who are not of austerely and self-purifying). Accordingly, its use in denial and proving rational-theological proofs for the general public is not effective and its extensive education is ineffective.
