چکیده:
Jami' al-Afkar wa Naqid al-Anzar, authored by Mulla Mohammad Mahdi Naraqi (1128–1209), is a theological-philosophical work and an encyclopedia of the views of sages, theologians, and mystics, in which the opinions of thinkers are primarily presented in detail. In addition, the present work refers to the discussions of Tajrid al-I'tiqad by Khwaja Nasir al-Din al-Tusi and the glosses on Sharh Jadid Tajrid. It is worth mentioning that in this work, Hakim Naraqi presents and critiques various opinions from a critical standpoint. In this article, while providing a brief review of Jami' al-Afkar by presenting evidence from this book and other works of Naraqi, the extent of Hakim Naraqi's influence from Mulla Sadra is examined, and it is stated that he had complete mastery over the works and specific views of Mulla Sadra and sought to build his philosophy, like the Sadrian philosophy, on the basis of existence. Furthermore, he accepts many Sadrian principles and foundations such as the primacy of existence, the contingency of existence, individuality through existence, etc., but the essential point in Naraqi's philosophy is that he rejects some issues of Transcendent Wisdom (al-Hikmah al-Muta'aliyah), such as substantial motion—and more importantly and fundamentally—the central principle of the specific gradation (tashkik) of existence. Therefore, his philosophy is in step with Transcendent Wisdom in some stages and has a deep distance from it in other levels.

Abstract Jami al-Afkar wa Naqid al-Anzar, authored by Mulla Muhammad Mahdi Naraqi (1128 - 1209), is a theological-philosophical work and an encyclopedia of the views of sages, theologians, and mystics, in which the opinions of thinkers are primarily presented in a detailed manner.
In this article, while providing a brief review of Jami al-Afkar by presenting evidence from this book and other works of Naraqi, the extent of Hakim Naraqi's influence from Mulla Sadra is examined.
Researcher Naraqi discusses theology in the narrow sense in Jami al-Afkar, and therein, after providing introductions, in the first article, he addresses the proof of the Necessary Existent (Wajib al-Wujud), and in the first chapter of the second article, he presents the positive (thubuti) and negative (salbi) attributes of the Necessary Existent; in the section on positive attributes, he speaks of perfections such as the power of the Truth (al-Haqq), the quality of the creation of the world, the quality of the connection of the temporal to the eternal, the explanation of Muhaqqiq al-Tusi's school regarding types of origination (huduth), the path of the Sufis regarding the proof of the universality of power, the knowledge of the Truth regarding His essence, the quality of the Truth's knowledge of things, life, will, hearing and sight, speech, truthfulness, eternity, and subsistence.
It is worth mentioning that following Mulla Sadra, Hakim Naraqi composes the discussions of Qurrat al-Uyun based on the issue of existence.
Qurrat al-Uyun In Qurrat al-Uyun—unlike Jami al-Afkar and al-Lama'at—Hakim Naraqi explicitly mentions Mulla Sadra and his works in certain instances.
