Correspondence between Subject and Object in Sadrian and Kantian Epistemology

Objectivity is one of those profound issues which have attracted the attention of almost all philosophers. The two Islamic and western philosophers, Mulla Sadra and Kant, have examined this issue. The present article argues that the way this issue has been dealt with in Mulla sadra’s philosophy has higher explanatory power due to the principles of his ontology (graduation of being and particularly of the human soul) and his initiatives such as creativity of the soul and its substantial motion and most importantly the unity of the known and the knower.
