Abstract
Islamic philosophers believe that human being is the microcosm and the world is macrocosm. Thus, according to this view, human is the essence and extract of the world and her comprehensiveness is drawn from her divine spirit breathed into her body. Among philosophers, this is Mullasadra who believes that by the time human's body reaches the stage of "proportionality" through substantial motion, s/he would have the necessary potential and capacity of Divine "breathing of spirit". Then, with all his Attitude and Names the divine spirit would represent as potentials within the human. Hence, as the Divine Vicegerent, human is able to understand the whole general and individual truths of the world as well as their names and characteristics. In addition, based on the rule of the union between the knower and the known, human would become an intellectual world like the outer world. Thus, the current study is an attempt to answer the following questions: Is human within the world as one of the creatures of this world, or is the world within the human? How can the world with all its greatness places within human? How is it possible for human to become an intellectual world?
