Abstract
Reconciling mysticism, Proof (truth), and the Qur'an is one of the distinctive features of Ṣadr ad-Dīn Muḥammad Shirazi philosophy.
But considering the dialectic of some mystics and philosophy's emphasis on rational intellect , this mission does not seem so simple. Among the mystical dialectic positions , we can mention the belief of mystics in the realization of some contradictions in the world of ideas. This article aims to investigate what solutions Mulla Sadra adopted in the mentioned position to get out of the dialectic and to what extent these solutions have logical and rational correctness. Using the method of critical analysis, the author has assumed that Mulla Sadra , in order to get rid of the mystical dialectic and the reconciliation of mystical doctrines about the world of ideas , has started to restriction the law of contradiction in the realm of abstract from material. The review of the authors indicates that some of Mulla Sadra proofs in this field suffer from logical problems. However, some of his arguments are also acceptable. This article firstly explains the mystical dialectic in the world of ideas, then Mulla Sadra's attempt to get rid of it, and finally the critical analysis of his attempt.
