In the second volume of the book Principles of Philosophy, in the discussion of conventional perceptions, in explaining this— the expression of Allameh, who has said: "In the realm of imagination and illusion, for example, a human is an instance of a lion or the moon, even if it is not so in external reality; meaning, in thought, the definition of a lion or the moon is attributed to a human, even though in external reality it is another being. " Shahid Mutahhari writes as follows: The majority of literary scholars before Sakkaki considered metaphor to be among the affairs of words and believed that metaphor is nothing more than the transfer of words and the use of one word instead of another by virtue of a relationship of similarity between the meanings of those two words—for example, when a person wants to convey that a certain person arriving possesses the courage of a lion, instead of mentioning his own name, he says "the lion has come," meaning he places the word "lion," which is the name of that specific animal and a proverb for courage, in place of that person's name and expresses that person using that borrowed word. Because according to Sakkaki, in such cases, the word was established for this meaning from the beginning, or at least the criterion defined for distinguishing the individuals of ruby, for example, is such that what is included in the genus of ruby and what is distinguished as an individual of ruby is already set, and the origin of the metaphor should not be attributed exclusively to the intelligence and genius of the poet.
