Abstract In history of philosophy, the universals are considered to be one of the most important and controversial problems. A group of thinkers has highlighted to be mark of difference between human and animal while some others have degraded it to a mere name. Importance of this issue was different in various ages but in medieval ages it enjoyed more importance. Locke and then Berkley, who considered to be the heir of medieval philosophy, inevitably discussed it and propounded new theories. This article is an attempt to discuss these theories. At first, Locke's theory and its problem were treated and then Berkley's theory was explored with reference to its strong and weak points. Then a middle way is propounded to describe the universals as viewed by both philosophers including their strong points.

Understanding logic, the possibility of new logics and also recognition (understanding) of grounds of metaphysics entails understanding of the truth of language. Language always recognized as the system of signs and in order to convey thoughts. Heidegger is one of the thinkers who has presented a special thought in this area. In Being and Time, Heidegger recognizes speech as one of the existential characteristics of Dasein and believes that the understanding of being in the world is already unconcealed in speech. Later, Heidegger concentrates on the issue of language more fundamentally and asserts that language is the house of Being and Being unconceals itself in language. Dasein is absorbed in the speech of Being and Being is concealed in the speech of Dasein. Dasein can approach the truth of language in Angst. The speech of Being, is the ground of the language of the great thinkers and poets which renders the ground of the history of a people.

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?

This article is an attempt to explain the relation of language to knowledge according to Plato’s Cratylus. In this dialogue, Plato examines and then refuses the two views concerning the correctness of words: conventionalism (denoting that correctness of each word is by convention) and naturalism (denoting that each word reveals the nature of the thing named by it). Moreover, he offers a series of etymologies seemingly to show that we should not rely on analyzing the words in search of truth. Finally, he concludes that we should learn the truth independently of words. This negative conclusion, specially due to its brevity in comparison with the whole dialogue, gives rise to different interpretations in the light of Plato’s other works. The result of this research is that, according to Cratylus, any method connected to language falls short in providing pure knowledge.

The relationship between Reason and Religion is one of the most fundamental matters in the territory of Philosophy of Religion and philosophical epistemology. Theologians have considered especially religious aspects of it from many centuries ago and have presented different perspectives on this issue. In this paper, we intend to survey Motahari’s view about the Islamic Pillars or Principles, and also analyze possibility of putting these principles as axioms of an axiomatic (and maybe a deductive) system. Then, in further step, we examine the hypothesis that Motahari’s viewpoint of the principles of religion make a Rational Entrance for ancillaries and secondary articles of Islam. Furthermore, we are going to Show this entry is a rational position for the principles of religion that have a philosophical value. In addition; this entry specifies the relationship between reason and religion. Meanwhile, we will represent that its extern–religious prospect in philosophy of religion is independent of intra–religious prospect. Finally, based on this premises, we can derive only one compatible response to the question of relation between Reason and Religion. The response will be a Rational and cross religious one that would be the inter-subjective and defensive basis for dialogue among Religions.

One of the most important problems in Humans thought is the Principle of identity. What is the meaning of this principle? How it comes to be? Can we speak, basically, of coming to be of something-here the principle of identity? Are the principles something discoverable? Or they are unknowable? The early Greeks thinkers, with the help of the Arche, showed their view on problems like unity, plurality, identity and difference. A perception that at first was seen as stability of the Arche thought of the time. In fact, this stability of the Arche thought of the time was the meaning of the principle of the identity. Their attempt to interpret of the world without logical notion of the principle discern lead finally to formulate the principle of identity. With this principle which is bestowed with undeniable importance, we understand the Being as beings. We try to understand that what is the Greeks Philosophy? This must be done with the investigation that includes the most famous thinkers. We begin with an introduction.
