Abstract :

Acquiring knowledge and wisdom is the most important characteristic of human being which is intensely commanded by the Islamic tradition. However, from what kind of knowledge shall we start our quest? and to which unknown shall we deal with? Surely self-knowledge is the most vital knowledge which is accompanied by divine and transcendental values for men, therefore Islamic philosophers and thinkers have seriously dealt with it. One of the most significant issues, in this respect, is createdness and eternity of the self. Mulla Sadrā, among the Islamic philosophers, and ‘Allāmah Majlisī, among the traditionists, have dealt with this issue in their works. There are common points in their views by which the two streams, i.e. philosophy and tradition, could be close together.
