The Negative and Positive Theology in the Thought School of Isfahan

The question of the present research is that, in the semantics of the divine attributes, what kind of theology had been explained by the thought school of Isfahan and its basic trends. In the Isfahan school, we are encountered with three major trends: the philosophical trend with the leadership of Mulla Sadra which defends a positive theology in the issue of the semantics of the divine attributes. A thought trend with the leadership of Mulla RajabAli Tabrizi and Qazi Said Qommi which, considering the adoption of some Kalami views, could be named as the Kalami trend, and while it accepts the theory of negation of attributes, it advocates a negative theology in the semantics of divine attributes. Despite of Mulla RajabAli Tabrizi and Qazi Said Qommi, the Isfahan Kalami-Hadithi trend with the representation of Allama Majlesi, although proves the attributes for God, because of the inconceivability of the divine innate attributes, uses negative theology in explaining the divine attributes.
