چکیده:
The question what is the soul is one of the fundamental questions in philosophical psychology, and the answer to it, along with other psychological questions, has been and is one of the most important and first concerns of philosophers. Among the philosophers, Ibn Sina and Suhrawardi have offered a novel view of the identity of the soul in comparison with their predecessors. In order to know the identity of the soul, Ibn Sina mentions the experience of the suspended man in space in some of his works, and Suhrawardi, while expressing and correcting Ibn Sina's experience, speaks of other experiences. Through this research, it becomes clear that the efforts of the two in recognizing the soul are not equal; because Ibn Sina reaches existence in the experience of the man suspended in space, which is a hypothetical experience, not a real one, and in the experience of liberation from the body and the sleep and wakefulness experiences, which are real and not hypothetical experiences, Suhrawardi achieves self and his own identity. In this article, we have interpreted and evaluated both views.

The Suspended Man Self-awareness in Ibn Sina and Suhrawardi (a comparative study) Recived date: 2020.
Through this research, it becomes clear that the efforts of the two in recognizing the soul are not equal; because Ibn Sina reaches existence in the experience of the man suspended in space, which is a hypothetical experience, not a real one, and in the experience of liberation from the body and the sleep and wakefulness experiences, which are real and not hypothetical experiences, Suhrawardi achieves self and his own identity.
The article "Study and Analysis of the Relationship between Self-awareness and Metaphysical Foundations in Ibn Sina's Philosophy" written by Asma Ishaqi Nasab and Hossein Zamiha shows that Ibn Sina's man suspended in space has a deep connection with metaphysical distinction of existence and quiddity.
The difference between this writing and the aforementioned writings is that it becomes clear that Ibn Sina's achievement of the suspended man experience is firstly his own existence and secondly his immediate awareness of it and the result of Suhrawardi's experiences is self-awareness.
In addition to those reasons, he has an experience called "Suspended Man in Space" which is mentioned in the book Nafs of Shifa (Ibn Sina, 1983, vol.
In short, what Ibn Sina achieves following the experience of the suspended man is the proof of his own existence or his own being and identity or the existence of the human soul, which is other than the body and which man perceives it without the help of his senses.
