Abstract:
Recent developments in science and the appearance of new scientific problems demand a fundamental re-examination of the philosophical structure of scientific theory. In this paper the “Existential Fact Theory” is proposed as an alternative to the conventional underlying philosophical structure of science. This theory is inspired by the metaphor of “Thinking Person” and is designed based on the Mulla Sadra's philosophical insights. Our theory substitutes the concept of existence (Wujud) by creation (Ijad)، and advocates the process of creation as an interior action in God’s essence. A hierarchical structure، metaphorically like a cone، is attributed to the creational system of universe which is irreversible and proceeds from absolute unity down to multiplicity. In this theory، all events are seen as creational “actions” and the concept of being is regarded as an intervention of human mind. Also، the “Whole-Part” point of view is substituted by the “General-Particular”. The unification of material objects together with rules governing their behavior and a coherent description of concepts like quantity، time and continuity can be considered among the consequences of this theory.
Machine summary:
Suggesting the Theory of the Existential Affair as a Solution Considering the prominent and excellent characteristics of Transcendent Wisdom and also taking into account the constraints mentioned above, it is better that we create a philosophical theory that has grown from the heart of the philosophical structure of Transcendent Wisdom, but on the other hand, is also consistent with modern sciences and is suitable for occupying the position of a scientific philosophy.
The meaning of the existential affair is the act of creation and the work of origination, which is performed through the creative aspect of the essence of God, namely, existence.
It should be noted that the concepts of material and abstract, in common parlance, are applied to the "existent" (mawjud), whereas the essence of the theory of the existential affair is based on the "act of creation.
Visualizing the Cone of Creation on the Material Level As previously stated, the boundary between the material and the abstract, in its conventional sense, breaks down in the theory of the existential affair.
It is important to note that in the theory of the existential affair, material objects and the laws governing them have a single origin, because both are images of the conical hierarchy of creation on the material level.
Since all the characteristics of material quantities, such as change, continuity, and even the concept of time, are taken into account by the theory of the existential affair within the structure of the system's cone of creation, we will have a deep and intelligent description of it.
