For understanding origin and grounds of Hegel’s Logic, in addition to Science of Logic as main source employed by interpretations, we need to analyze First Hegel’s logical Treatise in his Jena period. There is no interpretation of this treatise available in Farsi while the English sources on the interpretation of the text are also scarce. The current paper will try to provide an account on process of the genesis of Hegel’s Jena Logic for the first time in Farsi. Thus, at first, it will consider the system as a whole briefly and then it will analyze three constituent parts of Jena’s Logic – ‘Simple Connection’, ‘Relation’, and ‘Proportion’, depending on English translation of the text (translated by Hegel Society of America). Finally, the study deals with a comprehensive outline of the remaining parts of the Hegel's System of Jena (such as Metaphysics, Philosophy of Nature and Philosophy of Spirit).

The "Great Pyramid of Being"(GPB) is the most fundamental ontological plan of traditional thought. According to this plan, being is consisted of a large chain of consecutive connection which extends from the most imperfect to the most perfect entity in a hierarchical order. Various readings of the GPB are based on different conceptions of being and its degrees. GPB is the basic assumption of all mythical, philosophical, religious, political and social systems, all default in the pre-modern period. In this article, in order to provide a clear picture of GPB and its situation and gradual growth in the context of the history of ideas in the pre-modern era, firstly will be considered hierarchical order of being in the context of eastern religions and then in the context of Western thought and finally in the realm of Islamic philosophy specially according to Avicenna, Suhrawardi and Mulla Sadra’s ideas. We are aimed to bring a comprehensive analysis of the role of GPB in composing the cosmic order in thought of pre-modern man.

Tabataba’I and uexkull based upon physiological and genetic realities of organisms sought to speculate about the perceptual word and human conditions. The considerable similarities and affinities between two theory pave ground for recognizing and developing some capacities in tabataba’I theory. Conventional knowledge is subjective tool arised from innate and genetic demands and relevant emotions on the other side is a world constructed and affected by natural needs of organism. This formation is realized by mechanism of definition which is equal to convention. Definition itself is being brought about functional circle that is interaction and mutual affection of organism and environment. Paying attention to the biological reality, bodily needs, effect of non-cognitive elements on mind and knowledge, close relation between perceptual and semantic dimensions, priority of function and usefulness instead of truth and false, emphasis on subjectivity are among the similarities of the two theories. Believing in permanent conventions distinguish tabataba’I from uexkull.

Acceptance and affirmation of principality of existence, requires the acceptance of existence being made. Therefore, principality of existence is in cohesion with it's made; although there are some differences between the two subjects. On the basis of Transcendental Wisdom, criterion of being made is determined based on copulative existence. Copulative existence means total dependence on other. What is absolutely dependent on the cause, it is a real made of it. In Sadra's school, there are differences between the meaning of copulative existence and copulative existence in the proposition one, something that has been neglected in Kant thought. As critique to Anselm's ontological argument, Kant believes that the existence does not cause any increase in the subject, but it is only copulative existence. Criterion of being predicative is increase in subject. This expression is different of something research in transcendentalism; because Kant refers only to the copulative existence in proposition. But Mulla Sadra refers to another kind of copulative existence which obtained from the analysis of the principle of causality. According to this view, all possibilities will be absolutely related to God. He divided the propositions into composition whetherness and simple whetherness. Predicate in the second one, is existence. Kant says that these kinds of propositions are meaningless. He believes that proposition 'God exists' is not synthetic and not analytic. But Mulla Sadra says that proposition 'God exists' means: the affirmation of the self-identity of a thing. So, in simple whetherness proposition, predicative existence does not increase in subject, because of the quiddity being mentally-posited and fundamental reality of existence.

According to Shikh-e- Mufid, knowledge has propositional and assertoric form obtained either from sense and observation; in this case, knowledge is self-evident or it achieved from rational argument and repeated news, then, it is acquisitive knowledge or Ilm- e- Kasbi, in his view, God cannot be seen in anyway, knowing him, is accessible only through rational argument and frequently news. It includes the belief in accordance with reality and with the assurance, based on rational argument, repeated news and responder of opposition's questions. According to Allameh Tabataba’i, this meaning of knowledge is not rejected, but it isn’t the complete one of knowledge. The real and complete knowledge is an intuitive and direct knowledge such as consciousness toward own nature and states. May God grant the intuitive and presence knowledge to him with rational thinking and reflecting on the verses and traditions and cultivate practical reason and purification of the soul. Accordingly, Allameh, unlike Sheikh -e- Mufid, in the interpretation of verses from the Quran related to the vision and meeting the Lord, speaks of the kind of observing God which is a presence and self-evident knowledge. This kind of knowledge is confirmed by tradition of prophet's household (A.S) too.

Nuclear technology is the most controversial product of the past century and can be investigated as an important case study in the contemporary philosophy of technology. Theories of the classical philosophers of technology were generally about the nature of the modern technology as a whole and the dissimilarities of the different technologies are underestimated in these analyses. But, in the philosophy of technology after experimental turn, the specific features of different technologies are scrutinized. This approach to technology and its social significance is more concrete, more empirically informed, more constructivist and less pessimistic about technology than the classical one. In addition, the new approach places a greater emphasis on alternative ways of developing and using technologies. Based on the recent attitude in the philosophy of technology and with an analysis of the characteristics of nuclear technology, this article assesses the compatibility and limits of the classical philosophy of technology in enlightenment of nuclear technology.
