Abstract

Does the external compliance require the external predicate? For example, in the statement "Ali is a human being", undoubtedly "human" predicates in the actual world and without intermediary to "Ali", but does this external and without intermediary compliance require that the human himself is also exist in the actual world? Let's say it more clearly :if ascription of predicate to subject verified in the actual world, then will the predicate also exist in the actual text in existence in itself? It is clear that by accepting the connection between the antecedent (the external compliance) and the consequent (the external predicate), in all cases, it is possible to prove the consequent by proving the antecedent, and also it is possible to invalidate the antecedent by invalidating the consequent. A careful look at the words of philosophers shows that some, such as Ibn Sina and Khwaja Nasir Tusi, have accepted the aforementioned implication. . The true and intrinsic truth of a natural universal (essence) gives rise to the idea that a natural universal exists outside itself. This essay refutes the aforementioned idea by proving the lack of contiguity between the external compliance and the external predicate; then it shows that from the point of view of Sadr al-Mutalahin the aforementioned contiguity is also unacceptable.
