The relationship between the Ideal and Religious Knowledge in Mulla Sadra's theosophy

This paper has attempted to answer the question: what is the relationship between ideal and religious knowledge? In order to obtain this aim, Mulla Sadra's various and scattered discussions are integrated about knowledge, knower and known in a proper framework. By this approach In addition to the new details have been represented in Mulla Sadra's thought, we encounter a new doctrine which is resulted in study of ideal knowledge, knower and known. It seems that Mulla Sadra by this discussion has wanted to make the philosophical knowledge close to the religious knowledge, and finally he believed that the both of them are two sides of one reality which can lead to conclude the essence of religion is nothing but wisdom and the rest served merely as a shell to protect this precious core.
