Kant and Aqa Ali Zunuzi’s Inevitabilities and Ineluctability in Analysis of Attributive Proposition

Attributive proposition has been an important subject since the inception of philosophical thoughts. During the Qajar Dynasty, upon the arrival of western thoughts to the country and the beginning of comparative philosophy in Iran, Tehran metaphysical school in contrast with Immanuel Kant’s views, developed more comprehensive divisions of attributive proposition. Although Kant’s divisions in attributive proposition seriously affected all western sciences and knowledge, they had their own defects, too. However, a different path was taken by Tehran metaphysical school and Aqa Ali Zunuzi’s thoughts, and the attributive proposition was tied to such subjects as epistemology, ontology, and theology in its particular sense. Therefore, attributive proposition integrity was counted as the result of principality of existence. Despite these two philosophers’ commonalities and their inevitability in dividing the propositions, their classifications had consequences that both philosophers had to accept. This paper intends to provide a critique of these two philosophers’ views about attributive proposition through an analytical method.
