Recognition of the Concept of Nature in Suhrawardī’s Philosophy in the Light of the Critique of a Typical Form

Suhrawardī in his works criticizes and refutes the existence and necessity of specific substances (forms of species). The negation of the existence of species (specific substance) forms requires the negation of two important rules in peripatetic philosophy. The first is that the substance is only dependent on the substance and the accident cannot be the fixer of the substance, and the second is that the the field of ethics and human virtues (excellences) that underlie the growth of civilization. The present article tries to identify and introduce moral virtues and express their impact on creating a semantic formulation of civilization by using the semantic method in the field of linguistics. The research findings show that the five moral virtues: wisdom, chastity, courage, generosity and justice -which are themselves characteristics of civilization- which presented in the book of “tahdhīb al-Akhlāq” have produced categories in a semantic relationship with internal concepts which in the semantic relations with civilization as a focal point, has created a semantic formulation of civilization behind the ideas of Ibn Muskawiyyah, which emphasizes the biosocial based on the preservation of human values.
