Critical analysis of the theory of mental existence from the point of view of Mir Qawamuddin Razi Tehrani

The theory of mental existence has been seriously discussed in Islamic philosophy and theology since the time of Fakhrazi. Meanwhile, some philosophers have proved this theory and others have denied it. Mir Qawamuddin Razi Tehrani can be mentioned among the philosophers who denied the theory of mental existence. This philosopher is influenced by his teacher Melar Jabali Tabrizi in denying the existence of the mind, and as Tabrizi connects the theory of the existence of the mind with self, science and perception, Mir Qawamuddin also pays attention to these axes like the teacher. The main issue in this article is the denial of evidence of mental existence by Mir Qawamuddin Razi Tehrani and how it is connected with the problem of perception and science. Of course, this review will not be devoid of critical and analytical aspects. The discussion method in this article is the descriptive-analytical method and the library data collection method. The brief conclusion reached by the article is that Mir Qawamuddin Razi, by denying the existence of the mind, cannot give an adequate answer to true propositions, and Mir Qawamuddin Razi's theory about the existence of the mind should be interpreted in the light of Aristotle's words, although he presented A revised theory of self-affection is unsuccessful except as a way of perceiving things.
