The Idea of Mulla Sadra and Ibn Arabi about the Range and Scope of the Reason in Knowing of Reality

The main issue in mystical attitude of Mulla Sadra and theoretical mysticism of Ibn Arabi is to know Divine Names, attributes and actions of God Almighty. In this attitude Mulla Sadra like a real Gnostic attempts to find the way of knowing Truth. He believes that as there is no creature without God Almighty, no knowledge without knowing God Almighty is possible for creatures. So, intuition of truth and perception of intellectual universals are requisite to loss of egoism.Mulla Sadra in his most Gnostic works and writings has followed the Gnostic way and method of Ibn Arabi and believes that there is a limit and a boundary for the reason in knowing Truth and his Names and Attributes that who is seeking truth must know this limit.
