FROM CONVENTIONAL PROPOSITIONS OF AVICENNA TO ETEBARIAN THEORY OF TABATABAEI
Keywords:
Conventional propositions, Etebarian, Practical philosophy, Primary premises, TabatabaeiAbstract
Etebarian theory of Tabatabei is one of the most important inventions of Islamic philosophy in the modern age. In this theory, Tabatabaei has dealt with how the concepts of practical intellect are formed and considers basic concepts of practical philosophy. Thus, he does not regard the argument as current in etebarian. In other words, practical philosophy is not a discursive science. Whether Etebarian Theory is rooted in Islamic philosophy or not is something the authors have paid close attention to. In this regard, some scholars believe that Etebarian Theory is influenced by epistemological changes of the new philosophy in Europe, while others consider it an innovation merely. The authors believe that Etebarian Theory is somehow a continuation of Avicenna’s view of practical philosophy arguments as conventional propositions. Unlike Al-Farabi, Avicenna does not associate the mind in practical area with self-evident arguments. As a result, he has brought practical philosophy out of the circle of discursive sciences. So, in this article, the authors closely look at existing documents and works of Al-Farabi, Avicenna, and Tabatabaei and by describing and analyzing them, tries to prove the continuation of Avicenna’s view of practical philosophy arguments as conventional propositions with Etebarian Theory of Tabatabaei.
