Abstract

With due respect to the verbum of Master of Ishraq’s the term “soul” holds the two superior and interior aspects, thus holding two types of acts: an act known as “controlling of body” and an act that would guarantee the mystic knowledge and journey. The nature of the soul is of light, based on the deferent definitions of illumination that is “Self-revealed” and then it “reveals other than itself”. Therefore, Master of Ishraq in proving the in corporeality of the soul discusses the “the continual apperception” or the “self-consciousness” and then discusses the different kinds of intuitive knowledge. Presenting this kind of intuitive knowledge among others of its kind indicates its necessity for other division of knowledge, in a sense the acknowledgment of the soul is a product of the intensity and the weakness in this very kind and has priority to intuitive knowledge.
