Suhrawardi and Mohaghegh Dawani on the Intuitive Knowledge of Soul
Abstract
With due respect to the verbum of Master of Ishraq’s the term “soul”holds the two superior and interior aspects, thus holding two types ofacts: an act known as “controlling of body” and an act that wouldguarantee the mystic knowledge and journey. The nature of the soul isof light, based on the deferent definitions of illumination that is “Selfrevealed”and then it “reveals other than itself”. Therefore, Master ofIshraq in proving the in corporeality of the soul discusses the “thecontinual apperception” or the “self-consciousness” and thendiscusses the different kinds of intuitive knowledge. Presenting thiskind of intuitive knowledge among others of its kind indicates itsnecessity for other division of knowledge, in a sense theacknowledgment of the soul is a product of the intensity and theweakness in this very kind and has priority to intuitive knowledge
