One of the most notable theorists and supporters of the constitutionalist political system in the constitutional era is Sheikh Isma'il Mahallati. The political philosophy of the late Mahallati may be taken as that defending a theoretical interaction between such new concept as national identity and religion. In the present paper, after a conceptual and theoretical analysis of the two concepts of religion and national identity with an analytico-descriptive method based on documentary and library data, the characteristics of religion and national identity and the ratios these two concepts in the views of Sheikh Isma'il Mahllati have been described. These ratios are observed in such areas as religious rituals with the political dimension of national identity, the aspect of religious rituals with the social dimension of national identity, the organizational dimension of religion with the political dimension of national identity.

Place has always been one of the most challenging philosophical discussions in the history of Islamic philosophy. Aristotle was the first to trigger this discussion. Through explaining the signs of place, he not only clarified the view of surface in this regard but also criticized other related theories, particularly, the theory of immaterial dimension or empty space (void). His misunderstanding of Plato’s words in the dialogue of Timaeus led to the development of the theory of void in the discussion of place. Muslim philosophers, especially Ibn Sina, criticized this theory while ignoring this historical mistake. One of the most important arguments in this regard is the overlap of dimensions and their realization without matter. Through criticizing Ibn Sina’s arguments, Fakhr al-Din Razi supported the theory of void. In this paper, the authors demonstrate that his objections to Ibn Sina’s arguments originate in his neglecting the principles of the Peripatetic philosophy, particularly, the impossibility of the realization of dimensions without matter.

According to the theory of essential dualism, human being is composed of two different essences, i.e. soul or non-physical mind, and physical body, which are essentially divergent. The best-known contemporary expositor and proponent of this theory is Rene Descartes. He has given this theory a new life and formulated numerous arguments for it including language usage, behavioral creativity, methodical doubt, distinctive sensory perception, and the indivisibility of soul. In this article, we have first clearly explained those arguments, and criticized them. In addition, some objections are mentioned, with which essential dualism, in general, is faced.

The present paper seeks to propose a model based on Islamic sources for assessing religiosity among Muslims. In recent decades, researchers have conducted some research projects on empirical assessment of the conditions of religiosity in Iran. However, these projects have some defects, the most important of which are: no attempts were made to propose a native model for assessing religiosity and using western and Christian models instead. No doubt, some researchers have tried to develop and apply some native models, but these attempts were not very successful.Admitting that for more than fifty years empirical and field studies were made on the kinds, scale and changes of religiosity, and pointing to Hill and Hood's typology of the kinds of western scales for assessing religiosity, the present paper discusses the most important criticisms directed against these scales. Then it casts light on and criticizes some of the native models for assessing religiosity. Finally, it proposes a native model for empirical assessment of religiosity based on Islamic sources.
