Abstract

One of the methods for comparing two philosophical systems with each other is probing into the responses they provide for some basic questions arisen from human thought with respect to the origin and end of being. Such problems have been posed and answered in both Aristotelian and Sadrian systems of thought.In both systems we are dealing with a transcendent being called Allah or Theos. The important point here is to know how they have apprehended and interpreted this transcendent being, which attributes and perfections they have ascribed to Him, and how close they have come to that inaccessible infinite reality.Through a study of the related responses provided by these two schools of thought, we can judge their strength and validity from this angle.
