The meaning of “ self-knowledge” in the philosophy of Sadr al-Mutawlīn

The clear and distinct conception of "self-knowledge" in the methodology prioritizes other topics, since before analyzing the issues of self-knowledge and judgment about the existence and absence of sentences, attributes, consequences, and dependent variables, one should know what is self-knowledge and what is not? An analysis of the nature of self-knowledge brings us to two preliminary questions: What is the meaning of knowledge in self-knowledge? What is the meaning of "self" here?Sadr al-Mutalehlīn knows knowledge as "presence" and kind of existence. He also believes in the "truth of the soul," the soul is of the "fluidity" type, which is the fluidity of its essence, and moves towards evolution in the "substantial motion" of the lowest "order of being.Given that Sadra considers "self-knowledge" as self-existent, and the presence of the soul depends on its existence, based on the unity of the modulation of existence, self-knowledge in the transcendental wisdom system is of the utmost rank and is subject to the existence of the soul. The existence of the soul at every level is equally presence to itself. These countless degrees can be categorized in four domains of sensory, imaginary, rational, and supra-rational.
