A Review of the Theory of Observing the Quiddity of Correlation Philosophy

The quiddity of correlation philosophy is one of the important issues which has been the special concern of philosophers. Due to the fact that this has developed in the West, naturally the quiddity of correlation philosophy should first be investigated from a western perspective. In this investigation, four kinds of correlation philosophy are examined: the philosophies correlated with science using a historical approach, the philosophies correlated with science using a rational approach, the philosophies correlated with facts using a historical approach and the philosophies correlated with facts using a rational approach.The discussion also examines two other kinds: the philosophies correlated with science using a historical-rational approach and the philosophies correlated with facts using a historical –rational approach. Using a descriptive-analytical approach, this research tries to review and criticize this theory. It points out to the ambiguities, contradictions and the criticisms directed to it and that questions the idea of its validity and novelty.
