Study of the Incorporeity of the Soul and its Perceptual Dimensions in Philosophical Approach

The problem of incorporeity of the soul is one of the most important issues in the divine system, especially in Islamic philosophy. This issue has been regarded by the Muslim philosophers from different perspectives. In Islamic philosophy, the Islamic and rational reasoning is expressed to prove incorporeity of the soul. Proving the incorporeity of the soul would have various cognitive effects including immortality, the incorporeity of the knowledge and perception, the unity of wise and reasonable, proving the resurrection, explaining the immortality of the verses of Quran, and the perception of time. The present study, with a descriptive and analytical orientation, has studied the issue in a philosophical approach and the consequence is a deep understanding of the issue, and especially explaining the various dimensions of the incorporeity of the soul.
