A Critical Study of Mahdi Haeri's Stance on the Problem of the Union between Subject and Object of Intellection (Based on His Surveys of Theoretical Reason)

The argument from correlation is one of the arguments which Mulla Sadra made use of it to prove the theory of the union between subject and object of intellection. The philosophers after Mulla Sadra studied and argued for and against it in their works. Some of them have considered it incomplete to prove the theory, and some have insisted on its completeness. Among them Mahdi Haeri seems to have accepted the above mentioned argument, and has studied and analyzed it in detail. This article studies his viewpoints on the argument in ‘Surveys of Theoretical Reason’.
