Abstract
The analysis of The Subject-Predicate Transposition (‘Aks al-Haml) of simple helliyya propositions structures the proposition “Man is existent” (al-insÄn mawjÅ«d) in the form of “This is the existence of man” (inna-hu wujÅ«d al-insÄn). Generally, this transposition is articulated by referencing Mulla á¹¢adra’s doctrine of the Primacy of Existence (aá¹£Älat al-wujÅ«d). In this article, I will demonstrate that: Firstly, historical roots—largely stemming from textual interpretative disputes—paved the way for Mulla á¹¢adra to propose this theory. Secondly, in formulating this theory, Mulla á¹¢adra is compelled to adopt numerous foundational principles from DawÄnÄ« amidst the polemic between DashtakÄ« and DawÄnÄ«, including the Law of Attribution and Relation (qÄnÅ«n al-ittiá¹£Äf wa-l-nisba), the Expanded Attribution (ittiá¹£Äf mutawassi‘), the Separation of the (Sphere/Diathesis) of Attribution from the of Realization of Attribution, the Types of Attributive Correspondence of Predication (anwÄ‘ muá¹Äbaqat al-haml), and the Derivative Rule (qÄ‘idat al-far‘iyya) arising from the Expanded Attribution. Thirdly, taking into account these historical foundations and juxtaposing numerous texts from Mulla á¹¢adra, a more precise interpretation of this theory will be offered.
