Ontology of E tebariyyat: the neglected aspect of E tebariyyat in Tabatabai's thought

Allameh Tabatabai’s constructional perception theory, as one of his outstanding thoughts, has often considered as an epistemological theory, so that it is merely studied and applied in this viewpoint. But comprehensive look at the Tabatabai’s literature, in order to find different usages of this theory, shows that it has bold ontological aspect in Tabatabai’s thought. In this viewpoint, the world, as the material realm of reality, has a virtual construction of reality, so that it is between two real worlds: the prior and posterior esoteric actual worlds. Just as the relationship between the material world and the two other prior and posterior real worlds is exoteric/ esoteric relation, the relationship between the constructional realities and actual realities is exoteric/ esoteric one. Tabatabai believes that human confining to imaginary concepts of material life is as same as falling in constructional realm and neglecting of their esoteric truth.
