Abstract

According to Mulla Sadra, reality in the sense of posing a proposition or judgment is a tenuous level of reality and is referred to as 'truth' or 'logical truth'.In the light of his interpretation of man, he propounds reality in relation to existence and within the domain of presential knowledge. He seeks the reality of everything in man and, accordingly, conceives of it in the sense of'unveiling of existence'. In fact, he considers reality as being meaningful merely in relation to man.An inquiry into this sense of reality and how it compares with what is discussed in this regard in Aristotle's philosophy constitutes the focus of this paper.
