A Historical and Cognitive Investigation on the Grounds of the Formation of Mozaf (correlated) Philosophies and Their Essence

The term “mozaf philosophy” has been noticed, explained and analyzed in Iran by some scholars of recent decades in philosophical literature. In addition to the opportunities and benefits of mozaf philosophy, it may result in some threats and deviations as well. Instead of creating an opportunity for the reproduction of the abundant philosophical writings and concentration on local matters, it has rather made us involved in its related writings and literature and its own origin and issues. I believe the reason for this problem can be mentioned in two parts: first neglecting the cognitive and historical background of the formation of mozaf philosophy; and second not paying exact attention to the semantic changes and course of philosophy in different historical parts. Therefore this writing tries to analyze the grounds of the formation of mozaf philosophies and explain and evaluate the semantic changes of philosophy and analyze the presented definitions of mozaf philosophy in Iran.
