Abstract

The present research is set out to prove a sense of contiguous unity in domain of ontology through punctuating the principle of "Infinity of Existence Truth." A sense of unity (Monism) in which, discontinuity, contradiction, delimitation and conditionality are to be left aside. Affirming the mentioned end is not much laborious based on Particular Unity of Existence and Contingency of Gradation in Manifestations of Existence Truth, but its proof according to Graded Unity of Existence and contingency of Gradation in the circumstances of Existence Truth , the obligatory binding of Self Existent , the separation between the circumstances of Existence and taking diversity as unity has been disputed in a such way that some have considered the relations between Gradation in Manifestations and Gradation in Circumstances as contradiction. The most of disputations lie within inadvertence on ontology of circumstances, mixing contingents of existence, and more importantly belief in impossibility of proving Infinity of Existence Truth based on Circumstantial Graded Unity. Owing to this, the researcher holds that affirming Infinity of Existence Truth in Circumstantial Graded Unity can lead to Contiguous Unity of Existence on the one side and the consistency between Gradation in Circumstances and Gradation in Manifestations on the other side.
