Requirements for Research in Philosophical Concepts

Philosophical concepts, which are a variety of general concepts, are considered as one of the most important philosophical issues in a way that, many scholars consider it the key to knowing and discovering reality and the adaptation of scientific forms to objective objects. The term philosophical concepts is a common term in Islamic philosophy especially Sadra’s philosophical school, but neglecting this type of concepts in the West, especially in epistemological issues, has caused many intellectual deviations. In contemporary times, some of the Sadr al-Muta’allehin’s views have been criticized, so despite the great importance of philosophical concepts, it is worthwhile for scholars to pay more attention to them. Using a descriptive-analytical method and strengthening the Islamic foundations of philosophy and epistemology this paper seeks to study the most important requirements of research in philosophical concepts by explaining their realism.
