Ma`rifat Falsafi

The main issue of this paper, which has been analyzed and described using an analytical-descriptive method, is to identify the position of revealed teachings in Islamic philosophy, with an emphasis on the philosophical texts of the three major schools of philosophy. The findings of the research show that revealed teachings can be examined in philosophy from two perspectives: As the origin of an argument or as a function unrelated to the origin of an argument. Sayings of the infallible cannot serve as the origin of an argument, because in addition to the issues related to their chain of transmission, they must have certain and clear meaning, that the circumstances of their issuance must be clear, and ultimately, their truth must be proven through a valid syllogism. Therefore, they require efforts to establish a sound argument. In the process of compiling philosophical issues, revealed teachings have assisted in formulating questions for philosophy, presenting an accurate picture of certain philosophical matters, and providing general guidance and orientation to Muslim philosophers. In the position of judgment, philosophers have made use of revealed teachings in discovering certain arguments or fallacies in philosophical reasoning that appeared to be sound or were used as supportive evidence for their own philosophical arguments.
