Comparison of common sense in Islamic philosophy with areas of convergence in neuroscience

One of the most important and complex inner human senses is common sense. The common sense perceives information such as image, taste, sound and the like in objects through the five senses and combines this information with each other. The definition of this feeling in Islamic philosophy and neuroscience is a common definition. However, neuroscience refers to this sense as convergence zones. The specialization of convergence areas is that it establishes a link between the information obtained through the five senses about an object. Therefore, although there is a different name for combining the information of the senses in neuroscience and Islamic philosophy, but its definition and function are common. Of course, the direction of sharing is not limited to a mere definition, because the arguments of Islamic philosophers to prove the existence of common sense are still valid and neuroscience also confirms it despite the progress made in these sciences.Also, from the point of view of Islamic philosophy, the explanations of neuroscience about the areas of convergence are acceptable, but according to this philosophy, the findings of neuroscience only explain the material dimension of common sense perceptions. Because according to this philosophy, perception is not only a material phenomenon, but also an immaterial matter. Therefore, from the point of view of Islamic philosophy, especially Mullah Sadra's philosophy, although these explanations are acceptable, but perception happens after these stages, by the soul.
