Abstract:
The copulative existence is one of the initiatives of Sadr al-Muta'allehin, by which he has exalted his wisdom and brought about dramatic changes in his philosophical system. While expressing the value of this theory, Allameh Javadi Ameli, one of the prominent commentators of Sadrā'i wisdom, has taken effective steps in this field by dealing with the two semantic fields of the truth of the copulative existence and its ontology. With regard to semantics, by defining the copulative existence as the external truth that connects the subject and the predicate, he distinguishes it from the copula that has a mental position and flows in all simple and composite whether-nesses. With regard to the ontological aspect, he considers the copulative existence, which is a kind of existence by-itself, as existential, real, and a kind of truth with different levels of perfection and imperfection. Allameh also deals with the implications of this theory for philosophical issues in two areas of theology in the general sense of disintegration of nature and the transformation of the essential possibility into possibility in the sense of need; and theology in the specific sense, such as proving the existence of truth, transforming the realm of possibility into unity of divine actions, etc. During these discussions, while correctly explaining the copulative existence and proving it with two different interpretations of the argument of the possibility in the sense of need based on the principles of transcendental wisdom, he cleares the ambiguities of the followers of Sadrā'i wisdom and removes some flaws in this regard. Using a descriptive-analytical method, the author seeks to investigate these issues from the perspective of Allameh Javadi Amoli.
