چکیده:
The problem of sense perception in Mûllā Ṣâdrā’s philosophy has been drawn in such a way that makes possible two different approaches to it: idealistic and realistic. According to the first approach, considering the superiority and priority of the mind and its concepts to the external world, we can provide an idealistic interpretation of Mûllā Ṣâdrā’s epistemological system, and according to the second approach, there is a unity between man and the external world, according to which there is no preventer between man and the external world. The second approach implies avoiding from subjective idealism. But based on the first approach, the possibility of leaving the objective idealism becomes more complicated. In this paper, I have tried to explain the background of the formation of these two approaches by a descriptive-analytical method, and to analyze the different implications of both of those two approaches. For this reason, by appealing to an intra-structural solution, which is the ideality of the distinction between the world of objects and the world of the mind, I have stated the irrelevance of the challenges of objective idealism with the sense perception in Mûllā Ṣâdrā’s philosophical system.

To this end, by adhering to an intra-structural solution, such as the conventionality of the distinction between the world of external reality and the world of the mind, the lack of connection between the challenges of objective idealism and the category of sensory perception in the Sadrian system is delineated.
In other words, despite the alignment of Muslim philosophers' thought with the realist reading in the category of knowledge regarding the world of external realities (A'yan), this question arises: has Mulla Sadra's epistemological mechanism in the category of sensory perception also been faithful to the realist approach, in line with Muslim philosophers in the Islamic philosophical tradition?
In this regard, the factors creating an idealist reading in the category of sensory perception must be discussed, and the distinction between the world of external reality (A'yan) and the world of the mind in Mulla Sadra's philosophical system must be examined to clarify whether this distinction is real or conventional.
For this purpose, the requirement of the second approach from the category of sensory perception, which is based on Sadrian philosophical principles, can be considered the exit from mental idealism; because by establishing an existential union between the objective world and the mind, access to the world of determinations becomes possible, and there will be no duality for which a way to exit the mind and reach the object was being sought.
