Abstract

The interpretation of being and the analysis of its levels has always been one of the basic mental occupations of Islamic philosophers in the course of history. On the one hand, there are some Islamic philosophers who, on the basis of their philosophical system and its concomitants, negate the disengagement and transition of corporeal and quantitative form of the prepared hyle and, as a result, reject the disjunctive imaginal world in the arc of descent. On the other hand, there are some other Islamic philosophers who, considering the principles of their philosophy, particularly the issue of gradation, agree with the realization of the disjunctive imaginal world Ideas in the arc of descent and by referring to certain pieces of intuitive evidence and rational arguments try to justify and demonstrate it.This paper undertakes to present the theories of both groups and inquire into their principles and arguments concerning the issue of the disjunctive imaginal world in the arc of descent. It is also emphasized that this world is one of the blessed concomitants of the issue of gradation, particularly concerning being.
