ṣadr al-muti’allihīn shīrāzī is the founder of a school known as transcendental philosophy. employing the heritage of his predecessors, he has opened a new way before seekers of the truth. one of the features of his philosophical school is the frequent use of the verses of the qur’ān and traditions of the infallibles (a.s.) in his philosophical works. on the basis of the philosophical principle...

substantial movement is one of the most important sides of the gnostic geometry of the transcendental philosophy. in this writing, the notional aspect of the discourse and the way the substantial movement is based on the principality of existence is discussed. given the multiplicity of impressions from the principality of existence and the mentally-positedness (i‘tibāriyyat) of quiddity (māhiyy...

This course represents the chance to overcome the tragic divide between philosophy and physics that set in about 1700! Recall that in the seventeenth century they were unified as ‘natural philosophy’. Sadly, since 1700 a succession of factors have pushed them apart, and kept them apart. For example: (i) the increasing technicality of physics after the Newtonian synthesis of 1687; (ii) the comin...

The present paper examines the Eckhartian motives in Derrida's critique of Levinas' concept of the "Other". The focus is put on the Husserlian concept of alter ego that is at the core of the debate between Levinas and Derrida. Against Levinas, Derrida argues that alter is not an epithet that expresses a mere accidental modification of the ego, but an indicator of radical exteriority. Interestin...

My purpose in this paper is to show that the two major options on which the current debate on the interpretation of quantum mechanics relies, namely realism and empiricism (or instrumentalism), are far from being exhaustive. There is at least one more position available; a position which has been widely known in the history of philosophy during the past two centuries but which, in spite of some...

A transcendental number is one that is not the root of any non-zero polynomial having integer coefficients. It immediately follows that no rational number q is transcendental, since q can be written as a/b where a and b are integers, and thus q is a root of bx − a. Furthermore, the transcendentals are a proper subset of the irrationals, since for example the irrational √ 2 is a root of x − 2. T...

Purpose: To conceptualise, discuss and evaluate an emergent marketing philosophy, “transcendental marketing”, and its application in practice. Design/methodology/approach: A conceptual framework is grounded in the literatures of marketing practice and leadership styles, and refined by reference to two case examples. Findings: There is scope, limited at present but promising in the longer term, ...

in his critique of purge reason, kant insists that the human understanding is only able to know phenomena. however, in critique of practical reason, he proves the objective reality of god, freedom and immortality of soul. at first, the result of the two critiques seems to be at odds with each other, with kant himself calling the problem, the dilemma of philosophy of critiquing. by putting forwa...

α is algebraic if there exists p ∈ Z[x], p 6= 0 with p(α) = 0, otherwise α is called transcendental . Cantor: Algebraic numbers are countable, so transcendental numbers exist, and are a measure 1 set in [0, 1], but it is hard to prove transcendence for any particular number. Examples of (proported) transcendental numbers: e, π, γ, e, √ 2 √ 2 , ζ(3), ζ(5) . . . Know: e, π, e, √ 2 √ 2 are transce...
