Theological methodology of Agha Jamal e Khansari

The great scholar and researcher, Agha Husayn Kkwansari, (1016-1098 AH) is one of the well-known authors in rational and textual sciences in the eleventh century AH and has many writings about these two branches of knowledge, most of which were written as commentaries on other books. He learned the rational sciences from the great philosopher, Mir Findiriski, (970- 1050 AH) and the major textual sciences from Allama Muhammad Taqi al-Majlisi (1003- 1070 AH). He paid special attention to the role of philosophical intellect, especially the peripatetic school of philosophy in theological discussions. Although Aqa Husayn is later than Mulla Sadra, he was not influenced by his views and is mostly a critic of the issues of Transcendent Wisdom and Mulla Sadra. His theological arguments are based on the peripatetic philosophy. Although his theological arguments include pure intellectual, pure textual, and a mix of both; the share of purely intellectual arguments was more and he paid special attention to rational arguments in rational-textual issues. Of course, he also benefited a lot from textual sciences
