Abstract

Self-knowledge and its relation to the knowledge of God is a problem that has occupied the minds of philosophers and gnostics since long ago. They have benefited from the epistemological relation between the soul and the Truth to explain certain philosophical issues. The justification is that by an accurate description of self-knowledge and its relation to the faculties, one can find access to some of the decrees and states of the Almighty Truth and discover His relation to the world.In the Transcendent Philosophy, too, self-knowledge is employed as the key to divine treasures, and a great number of philosophical problems are explained on the basis of the epistemological relation between the soul and the Truth. In this paper, the writer has referred to some of the decrees and problems that can be clarified in the light of this relation.
