An Inquiry into the Theory of the Simplicity of Existence and its Epistemological Upshots
Author(s):
Abstract:
The theory of the simplicity of the reality of existence is one of the achievements of transcendental philosophy. Having accepted this theory, Mulla Sadra (Sadr al-Mutaallehin) infers three important epistemological
Results
(a) the reality of existence is unimaginable and unperceivable, rationally and through acquired knowledge; (b) the reality of existence is non-affirmable, rationally and through acquired knowledge; (c) knowledge by presence is the only way to perceive and affirm it. In the present article, first the principle of theory of simplicity of the reality of existence is challenged and it is proved that we cannot consider limited and substantive beings as simple, and substantive being can only be considered simple when it is negatively conditioned from quiddity. And existence with such consideration exists just in the mind and not in the outside world. The article continues with criticizing related epistemological upshots. It is clarified that those effects face with criticisms as well. The author has tried to show that epistemological upshots of the principality of existence as well as commitment to epistemological consequences of Mulla Sadras theory in mental existence require that Neo-Sadraites give up the epistemological results of the theory of simplicity of existence.Keywords:
