Critical investigation of Sheikh Ahmad Ahsai's Criticis to the power of imagination and its foundations in transcendental wisdom

The power of imagination and its perceptions are the most important issues of transcendental wisdom which Mulla Sadra has devoted a lot of discussions to them. Some of his views in this field like the subject of soul in perceptual and imaginational perceptions and immortality of imagination are unprecedented and it was first presented by Mulla Sadra. Sheikh Ahmad Ahsaee gives many criticisms about Mulla Sadra's reasons and challenges them. These critiques about the immortality of the imagination, its subject matter to the imaginary images, the intrinsic incompatibility of Mulla Sadra's perspective on this issue, and the intensification of imaginary perceptions during death and in the hereafter. The present study has proved that such criticisms stem from the lack of attention paid to Sadr's principles in this regard like the unity of the existence, substantial motion, the unity of knower and knowing and Ahsaee has fallen viciously in his critique.
