Mulla Sadra has demonstrated "The Principality of Existence" as the basis of the Transcendent Philosophy based on solid arguments and by studying the scholars before him, he considered the peripatetics to believe in The Principality of Existence and the Ishraqi in the principality of Quiddity. Although the question of the principality of Existence or Quiddity has not been raised in this way by early scholars, by examining their works and expressions, one of the parties to the issue in question can be attributed to them. This research seeks to find the opinion of 'Ghias al-din Mansur Dashtaki' on this matter. By examining his texts and expressions in a descriptive-analitical method based on Sadra's philosophy; while providing convincing evidence, the belief in the 'The Principiality of Quiddity' can be deduced from Ghias al-din Mansur. The above evidence will be presented and the claim will be explained in this research. Ghias al-din considers the concept of 'Existence' as one of the validations of the secondary intelligible and redundant on quiddity, denying the realization of any individual and external instances for it.

By focusing on sensory experience in Aesthetics, which is not always associated with positive feelings, Arnold Berleant analyzes the question of why and how Aesthetic values are negative, so that the scope of Aesthetics goes beyond "Beauty" and its application in the field of art. And because Aesthetics is an experimental thing for Breleant, in order to open up this domain, he does not categorize the Aesthetic moods (positive and negative) and deals with identifying the Aesthetic moods. Therefore, Brerleant names sensory experiences that do not have a positive value as the "underside of beauty". By introducing the characteristics of negative criticism in the field of art, Brerleant reveals the extent of negative Aesthetics and its various forms in relation to art criticism. One of these types is what is commonly called "Bad Taste". By explaining the relationship between ethics and negative Aesthetics, the possibility of social and moral evaluation of artistic objects and environmental pollution is presented to the audience, and by passing positive Aesthetics, a new topic under the title "negative Aesthetics beyond art" is provided for study.

The purpose of this article is to study the epistemology of religious experience from the point of view of Rudolf Otto. Otto emphasizes the supernatural nature of this experience with a phenomenological approach and the separation of the noumenon from the phenomenon and the invention of a word called the numinous. Otto states by expressing the elements present in the experience of the numinous that these elements are necessarily aware of their belonging, even though this belonging is ambiguous and does not enter the structure of understanding. Following Kant, by dividing the real world into perceptible and incomprehensible parts, he considers the numinous as non-perceptible, meaning that the truth of the numinous is inaccessible. Otto saw the truth of religion as the kind of experience that can evoke and transfigure. The unity of religions will mean that religious experience throughout history has a single truth that has manifested itself in various forms. Otto considers revelation in the Abrahamic religions as the manifestation and presence of God in the prophets. He believes that following the lifestyle (act, speech, and lectures) of the prophets, which is the product of this experience, causes us to perceive the presence of God through intuition and feeling.

Philosophers have accepted the principle of the existence of change in motion and time abroad and have tried to provide an acceptable analysis of it. One of the fundamental questions about change, movement, and time is whether the connection seen outside is a description of external facts or human perceptions. Leading research deals with the fact that connection is not only an external description but also perceptions, and on this basis the theories of philosophers, whether positive or negative, are challenged. What is certain about the changes in the universe is that perceptions are constantly received, but that this connection is also a description outside the mind is not self-evident and needs to be proven. As in the discussion of time, what is obvious is the gradual feeling that is perceived and makes time for people, but that the flow of description is also out of the mind needs to be proven. Such an interpretation of change, motion, and time plays a crucial role in explaining theological and philosophical issues such as the existence of time in the extraterrestrial worlds, such as the world of example and the world of intellects, the contraction and expansion of time, and the analysis of narrative arguments about time in other worlds. Among the results of his research is that 1- By including the perceptual description in the truth of time, a single truth can be done at different times for individuals. 2- The existence of time in the world of example and the world of intellects is a reasonable thing. 3- The contraction and expansion of time can also be philosophically analyzed according to the perceptual role of human beings.

The aim of the present research is to reveal Kasravi’s ontological presuppositions in History of the Constitutional Revolution of Iran and Eighteen-year History of Azerbaijan and then to criticize the epistemological results of these presuppositions in Kasravi’s historiography based on the Concept of Heidegger’s Historicity. According to this, the main question of the present research is, how and on what basis does Kasravi define the subject of his historiography? The research findings show that the subject of Kasravi’s historiography is not the Historical Matter as a Shaping Verb. Kasravi’s historiography includes the Anti-historical Concept of Repetition. The Concept of the Traditional is absent in his historiography, Hence, the New Matter has become something groundless and this means Kasravi has not been able to understand the Dialectic of Discontinuity and Continuity hidden in the Historical Matter and to discover the Concept of Historicity. In other words, Kasravi has no basis for define the subject of historical question and research.

Undoubtedly, the problem of human beings and the recognition of his nature are considered to be the main concerns of Kant. This concern, before he began to write his critical philosophy, led him to research subjects related to human nature, and eventually led him to consider humanity as an answer to the main philosophical question. Kant distinguishes between two types of research on the nature of mankind: the pragmatic research that speaks of it in his ‘anthropology from a pragmatic point of view’, and transcendental research that is called ‘transcendental anthropology’, a term that he did not explain in any of his works. But what does Kant mean by this term and what does this concept mean about humans? In this article we are trying to examine two aspects of the term, the anthropological and transcendental, to clarify Kant’s mind and verify his definition of the human being. This study shows that Kant tries to examine the mental faculties of human beings to understand a priori what can be achieved about him. This study shows that, first, man is nothing but the origin of the laws of nature and can understand the fundamental laws of nature. Secondly, what to do is the moral law imposed upon him by his wit. And finally, what would have hoped is nothing more than that he realizes his ends through moral law and changes the natural world into the moral world.

Asceticism has been one of the most important concepts in Arthur Schopenhauer’s philosophy, especially in his theory of salvation. He has defined salvation as releasing from pain and suffering and achieving long-term tranquility. According to him, such tranquility may be achieved by the way of asceticism. Life is suffering according to him. Hence, a way of relief must be sought. Thus, he has thought that the source of all suffering is will. He has actually considered suffering as a phenomenon of will and an essential part of human life. Therefore, will has to be denied, surpassed, and dumbed if relief and peace are required. Denying and ignoring the appetites and wishes makes the relief possible. Thus, he paid special attention to the concept of Asceticism and declared it as the only way of true salvation. This essay tried to explain the concepts of Asceticism and salvation and then show how Asceticism may soothe human beings' sufferings and lead to salvation according to Schopenhauer.

Mohammad Kazemi  *PhD of Architecture, Shahid Beheshti University, Tehran, IranAbstractMuseum designing is a three-dimensional and hybrid process. It interconnects various disciplines such as architecture, graphic design, interior design, audio-visual graphics, and print graphics. Museum’s transformation during the 1930s is the main reason that drives storytelling to be adopted in the daily display routine of museums. Storytelling communicates meanings and mediates human knowledge of the world, humans, and architecture. Verbal storytelling, written storytelling, visual storytelling, and spatial storytelling help all age groups to communicate with the collections of the museums. In this paper, we investigate the role of the different kinds of storytelling in the museum's design process. We use an original survey of meaning and interpretation drawn from the fields of philosophy, linguistics, hermeneutics, humanistic geography, narrative theory, psychology, architectural theory and museology. In addition, we use researchers' personal perceptions and experiences. This study uses two case studies (Australian National Maritime Museum and Hong Kong Museum of History) to demonstrate how museums are currently utilizing storytelling and show the fundamental tools for its success. The results of this paper indicate that our understanding of master narratives needs more time and focus. The master narrative has to be followed and leaves little space for unrestricted meaning-making. Furthermore, in the non-linear storytelling, each thematic display can establish a separate identity. Then, museum architecture suggests a delightful environment for communicating meanings by self-learning and organized embodied experience of an entire space.

In this article, we try to explain that although the Renaissance was a renaissance and a transformation that was not and is not desirable to the church, the preparations for this transformation have been gradually provided at least since the 13th century AD within the church itself. Certainties of the church itself, such as the belief in the Trinity, the infallibility of the Pope, the Aristotelian view of religion, various readings, at the top of all of them, the appearance of Martin Luther, which led to the establishment of the Protestant Church, translations from Islamic culture centered on Avicenna and Averroes was taught in Latin and was taught in the church itself. The consequences of these developments in the centuries leading to the Renaissance, such as anthropocentrism, the originality of reason, the controversy over the truth of the church and secularism, are exactly opposite to the medieval worldview. Medieval philosophers were planted and nurtured, and in the Renaissance, in various contexts that we have highlighted the philosophical dimension in this writing, it bore fruit. The establishment of naturalism in theology by the Catholic Church is only one example of these cases. Other cases we have tried to briefly explain in this article. In the end, the roots of some components of modernity should be sought in the same completely intertwined theological-philosophical complex in seminary tradition.
