Since the main point of this paper is to reject the non-principiality of essence it studies the arguments for the non-principiality of essence showing that none of them can, due to their defects and flaws, prove what is claimed .The main point emphasized over in this paper, is that most of the arguments presented here, are related to proving the principiality (asalat )of existence not the non-principiality of essence, while there is no necessary link between the two .Since there is no necessary link between accepting the principiality of existence and surrendering to the non-principiality of essence the single-choice approach (either principiality of existence or principiality of essence )adopted by some great thinkers, is not logically justified.
