Abstract:

According to Aristotle, Islamic philosophers conceive that the body compose of two distinct essences called "Prime Matter" and "Corporal Form". What drives philosophers to relinquish simplicity of body is to explain phenomena in nature that can only be explained through the combination of "Prime Matter" and "Corporal Form". The duality between matter and face, as have helped philosophers in analysis of nature laws, has created challenges and brought them into many troubles. One of the most important challenges is the existence of something without any actuality, as well as the explanation of the combination that exists between the two. In this paper, while pointing out some of these challenges, ultimately is presented a new explanation of matter and form based on the elimination of external dichotomy between them, by using the capacity of Mulla Sadra philosophy. In this explanation, matter is not introduced as a separate entity of a form that lacks any actuality, but as an aspect of the means of “fluid existence”, which is unconditioned of any actuality. This interpretation, in addition to solving the challenges of the theory of matter and form, provides the aim of philosophers of providing this theory without any diminution.
