Defining presence knowledge, a critical analytical study

Abstract

The subject of this study is the analysis and understanding of the reality of direct science, as opposed to indirect science, which is a topic worthy of importance due to the importance of this analysis in understanding and analyzing the position of direct science in the formation of cognitive certainty, which contemporary Islamic philosophy has sought to rely on.

What the study found is that direct knowledge requires the need to expand the concept of the negated wasta in it to the conceptual wasta, and the existential wasta; It is an expansion that relied on the view that the circle of indirect knowledge includes some levels of divine knowledge, as it is in the knowledge of material bodies after creation.

 And that the unity of scientific and external existence assumed in this science is not real, but rather looks at the negation of the existence of a conceptual mediator. Otherwise, direct knowledge has three pillars, not two pillars, as is the case in indirect knowledge.

And the outskirts of direct knowledge by noting the existence of the known external thing, they are the present existence with the world within a special appearance, and the actual external existence in itself, which gives the existence of a kind of difference between the known and the existence in itself.

The method in this study is the descriptive and analytical method.
