The Inconsistency in Mulla Sadra’s Approach to The Principle of Presupposition

In the Mulla Ṣadra’s works, there are two different accounts of the “principle of presupposition”. It seems that this two different accounts are inconsistent. There are strong intertextual relationships between Mulla Ṣadra  and Jalal al-Din Davani and  Sadr al-Din Dashtaki’s works. The two different accounts of Mulla Ṣadra can be traced back to a dispute between Davani and Dashtaki about this principle. Considering intertextual relationships in Mulla Sadra's works, I will present a new reading of Mull Ṣadra's real position on the meaning of the principle.
