Fayd Kashaniʹs Philosophical School

In spite of using hadith-based approach in Islamic jurisprudence, Mulla Fayd Kashani is among the few Shiite scholars who hold a philosophical attitude based on transcendent theosophy, Mysticism and Sufism. Presenting his philosophical school, this research essay deals with the question how he could put together the tradition-oriented approach and such a philosophical attitude. Can we say he is a multi-dimensional scholar, or he has adopted a multi-disciplinary way so that to explain each disciplinary with the other, or he believes in the unity between the demonstration, the verses and intuition. Supposing that these are the case, what differences are there between Mulla Sadraʹs and Sohrawardiʹs viewpoints
