A Critical Study of the Applications of the Theory of the  Copulative Existence of the Effect in Philosophical Problems

In Mulla Sadra’s view, the existence of the effect is identical with relation and dependence on its cause. This theory has created noteworthy changes in dealing with philosophical problems, so that some of Mulla Sadra’s commentators have employed this philosophical theory in order to demonstrate certain philosophical and even kalami problems. In this paper, 14 problems which have been demonstrated based on the identity between the effect and relation have been compiled and critically explored. The writers finally conclude that the effect of this theory is accepted on 10 cases but rejected on the rest of them.
