Abstract
Mullasadra exhaustively cited and referred to dependency of effect, which is accepted as far as the existence of effect is dependent on existence of its cause; this neediness to cause is the originator of effect, and it is not possible for effect to be independent in existence or nonexistence. What is under question is whether intellect could grasp the essence of effect without paying attention to its cause independently or not? In other words, is it possible to pointing effect out intellectually? We proved, in this article, that intellectual, independent indication to effects is not in contradiction with dependent, objective existence of effects; therefore, Mulla Sadra’s arguments for proving the impossibility of intellectual existence of effects is not decisive and defendable.
