Allameh Tabatabaei، in his efforts to achieve a regular and accurate cognition of Religion according to his Special principles، has focused on this point and introduces some presuppositions that with exceeding from which one may perceive religious teachings. He has also two presuppositions: epistemological and ontological. The possibility of analyzing and evaluating of religious knowledge، is an epistemological presupposition; and belief in God، religion، human ability and the world of existence، is considered as ontological presupposition.
