Causality in Empiricism and Islamic Philosophy (Based on Secondary Intelligibles)
Author(s):
Abstract:
Since olden times, causality has been one of the fundamental notions of philosophical thought. In the present writing, the author tries to explain development of the notion of causality in the West, as it has been presented by empiricist schools of thought. This development is as a matter of fact development of the way that interpretation of causality has become subjective. Then, causality in the Islamic thought in the field of Peripatetic philosophy and in particular Transcendent Philosophy will be explained. In the Islamic philosophy, causality is of an objective characteristic. The origin of objectivity of causality in Islamic philosophy, i.e. secondary intelligibles, provides a basis to criticize subjective interpretation of causality in the Western Empiricism.
