Ma`rifat Falsafi

When dealing with the proof of the righteous to demonstrate the existence of Allah, the philosopher studies the absolute reality. Considering the eternal necessity of objective reality through a posteriori concomitants argument, Allameh Tabatabaii has shifted to the essential necessity. Avicenna has established the existence of Allah as per the inherent necessity of objective reality and the fact that they are either in a state of "necessity" or "possibility". Unlike Avicenna, the late Tabatabaii believed in the eternal necessity of objective reality and its intrinsic necessity, thus he considered the existence of Allah as self-evident, on the basis of which it can be proposed as the first philosophical issue. Also, viewing the late Tabatabaii account, objective reality is one single reality, and what else than it is no more than a copula depending on that single reality as its state thus existing dependently. In what follows, the author goes to first present a novel analysis and description of Tabatabaii's account of the above proof and to examine the objections raised and some invalid accounts of it. Second, in the course of assessment of Tabatabaii's proof in comparison to Avicenna's, to demonstrate that Tabatabaii's account has characteristics that make it superior to other accounts.
