Abstract

The necessity is one of the most important topics in logic and philosophy. And the correct expression of the concept of necessity plays an important role in solving many philosophical problems. And the correct expression of its meaning plays an important role in solving many philosophical problems. In Kant's Analytic Philosophy and after the Copernican Revolution, Necessity was used in a linguistic sense related to propositions. Kripke critiques traditional theories about the concept of necessity And provide new ideas in this regard, he was believed that some aspects of necessity (such as metaphysical necessity) are metalanguage and transmental. In this paper, the concept of necessity from Kripke's point of view Will be compared with the views of Allamah Tabatabaie. Both Kripke and AllamAh Tabatabaie consider the concept of necessity as a metaphysical and philosophical concept, And they take the concept of necessity for granted But they have different views on determining instances and types of metaphysical necessity. Kripke considers metaphysical necessity to be valid only in limited cases, such as the necessity of the same Similarity theorems and propositions containing intrinsic attributes, But Allamah Tabatabaie considers all beings in the universe to have a metaphysical necessityphilosophical system. The views of the two philosophers, despite their similarities, are fundamentally and paradigmatically different.
