The Critical Analysis of the Interpretation of Avicenna and Mirdamad of the Theory of the Platonic Forms based on the Perspectives of Sayyid Ahmad Alavi and Molla Mohammad Aqajani
In the history of philosophy, the theory of Forms had some advocates and opponents. Some like Farabi, Ibn Sina and Mirdamad have criticized and given interpretation of it. Two Muslims philosophers, namely Seyyed Ahmed Alavi, a student of Mirdamad and Molla Mohammad ibn Alireza ibn Aghajani, a student of Mulla Sadra, looked at this theory from a different point of view and challenged the critique of Avicenna and Mirdamad. This paper first raises the issue and the report of the theory of Forms and then critically analyzes the opinions of these two philosophers in the commentary and interpretations of Avicenna and Mirdamad. The findings of the paper show that both Ibn Sina and Mira Damad have fallen wrong, in explaining and criticizing the Platonic Forms.
