چکیده
در چارچوب نظریه ی استعاره های مفهومی، استعاره ها بخش جدایی ناپذیری از نظریات و تئوری های علمی محسوب می گردند. بسیاری از مفاهیم انتزاعی و تئوری های حامل این مفاهیم بواسطه استعاره های مفهومی قابل فهم و تبیین شده اند. استعاره «دانستن به مثابه ی دیدن» ریشه در تجارب مشترک انسانی دارد. این استعاره علاوه بر حضور در زبان روزمره و عرفی، به متون فلسفی و عرفانی نیز راه یافته است. ملاصدرا از این استعاره جهت توصیف و تبیین معرفت حضوری بهره برده است. در فرایند دیدن، سه عنصر قابل تفکیک است؛ بیننده، شی دیده شده و نسبت میان بیننده و شی دیده شده. هر کدام از این عناصر بواسطه استعاره های فرعی دیگری جهت تبیین معرفت حضوری بکار گرفته شده اند. استعاره های «عالم به مثابه بیننده»، «معلوم به مثابه شی دیده شده» و «کیفیت علم به مثابه نسبت میان بیننده و شی دیده شده» در ذیل استعاره «دانستن به مثابه دیدن» قابل تعریف است. این استعاره ها تنها جنبه آموزشی و یا زیبایی شناختی ندارند بلکه بخش جدایی ناپذیری از تبیین نظریه معرفت در دستگاه فلسفی ملاصدرا محسوب می شوند.“Knowing as Seeing” Metaphor in Mulla Sadra’s Philosophy
Introduction: In the framework of the conceptual metaphor theory, abstract concepts are understood by conceptual metaphors so that by removing these metaphors, a large part of the meaning of these concepts is lost. Therefore, these metaphors don't have only an educational or aesthetic role but also our understanding and even our behavior are based on such metaphors. In this theory, metaphors are inseparable parts of scientific and philosophical theories. The human mind and how it works has been one of the greatest philosophical and scientific mysteries in the history of thought. Various theories have been offered throughout history about the nature of the mind. In the context of conceptual metaphor theory, it can be said that these theories are based on various conceptual metaphors; Some of these metaphors have been universal and some have belonged to a particular culture and age. For example, "mind as a container" is a common metaphor among different ages and cultures. In the context of this metaphor, the mind has a definite boundary that distinguishes the mind world from the outside world. Metaphors such as "mind as machine" and "mind as computer" were considered in contemporary analytical philosophy. Each of these metaphors highlights only one aspect of the concept of mind and inevitably hides the others. The mind can not be reduced to any of these metaphors. One of the functions of the mind is to acquire knowledge. Various metaphors have been proposed to describe this mind function. One of the most important of these metaphors is the "knowing as seeing" metaphor. This metaphor has roots in human common experience in the childhood period. So, this metaphor is accepted in different cultures and Languages. In addition to its existence in everyday and customary language, this metaphor has also found its way into philosophical and mystical texts. One of the Muslim philosophical innovations is to introduce intuitive knowledge as one of the types of knowledge. Since intuitive knowledge is not available to ordinary people, the linguistic systems have not developed specific words and terms to describe such knowledge. This makes it impossible to describe and explain such knowledge literally. Therefore, Mulla Sadra has used conceptual metaphors to describe intuitive knowledge. One of the most important of these metaphors is the "knowing as seeing" metaphor. This metaphor has been developed in Sadra's system and many sub-metaphors have been formed under this metaphor. In this study, the role of this metaphor in Sadra's philosophical system and its various dimensions are examined. Methods and Materials Words literally refer to one of the elements related to the act of seeing, which were discovered and extracted in Sadra's texts. Most of these words have been used to describe intuitive knowledge. Then, these words were categorized and the conceptual metaphors, associated with them, were introduced. Results and discussion In the act of seeing, three elements are distinguishable: seer, seeable, and relation between them. Each of the three elements is used to explain intuitive knowledge by other sub-metaphors; “Knower as Seer”, “Known as Seeable” and “Quality of Knowing as Relation between Seer and Seeable” metaphors are defined below the “Knowing as Seeing” metaphor. The “Knower as Seer” metaphor has the sub-metaphors of "the quality of the knower as the purity or pollution of the seer" and "ignorance as blindness". The “Quality of Knowing as Relation between Seer and Seeable” metaphor has the sub-metaphors of "obstacles to acquiring knowledge as obstacles to seeing", "intensity and weakness of knowledge as the seer's proximity, and remoteness from the seeable". Conclusions The "knowing as seeing" metaphor is an inseparable part of the theory of knowledge in Mulla Sadra's philosophy; In Sadra's thought, knowledge of the essence of God is not possible, and on the other hand, God is described as the light of lights, which is the most visibl
