title = {How the World Come into Being and its Relation to God in Timaeus}, 
abstract ={Plato in his Timaeus Dialogue raises the question of the genesis of the world and its relation to God, one of his most fundamental theories, with a different approach to his other dialogues. Although he has elaborated on this important issue in his other Writings, however, Plato’s approach and method in Timaeus dialogue is based on natural science, which was prevalent in Greece at the time. In this article is attempted to analyze and explain the issue of the genesis of the world and its foundations by committing t0 the content of Timaeus. Plato’s theory in Timaeus is based on three fundamental principles: the world of Ideas, the becoming of the world, and Demiurge as the representative of reason which implies the purposefulness of the universe. Plato explains the relation of the world of Ideas and the world of becoming to the wise intellect, and in this way seeks to undermine the foundations of the materialist theory of Democritus, which was one of the most important scientific theories of the time, and explains the world according to the principle of purposefulness, which has no place in the thought of Democritus, and establishes new cosmological principle.},

title = {Heidegger and Mulla Sadra\'s Non-Conceptual Understanding of Existence}, 
abstract ={The important German thinker Heidegger and the great Iranian philosopher Mulla Sadra have both made "existence" and the way it is perceived central to their thinking and philosophy. Heidegger argues that the period of Western metaphysics from Plato to the modern age is entirely a period of neglect of existence; because existence in it, find a conceptual and categorical form, and its reality is hidden. Mulla Sadra also believes that most of the earlier philosophers were involved in the discussion of essence and somehow marginalized existence. In this respect, the way they both look at the issue of existence is in many ways the same; In particular, both thinkers emphasize the need for a non-conceptual and presential view of existence and deny conceptual and categorical understanding of it, or at least do not consider such a view to be an accurate and complete view. Of course, due to the difference in specific culture and intellectual space of each of these two thinkers, there are some differences between their thinking in the discussion of existence and its perception, as the difference between the two in the issue of nothingness is also significant.},

abstract ={Paul Tillich is known as one of the prominent contemporary theologians. His reflections on reason, revelation, culture, and Christ had a great impact on theological and philosophical thoughts and have opened up new horizons in theological thinking. From his early works in Germany until his later works in the USA, Tillich had a special notion about God and has engaged with its different dimensions. He attempts to analyses the concept of God in accordance with the new conditions of the world, and through this attempt express his critic to the traditional and contemporary theological thesis about God. In this article, we illustrate Tillich’s notion of God and the implications that lead him toward this kind of encountering the subject under discussion here. Among Tillich’s works, there can be found four terms attributed to God and in this article, we will discover the relationship between these terms. It seems that Tillich’s notion of Gods relies on methodological, ontological, and linguistic foundations which will be reviewed at the starting of this article. Eventually, we will mention the impact of Tillich’s notion of God in his other reflections, especially in the realm of culture.},

In this case, it can be possible to divide his/her needings to individual and social ones. The role of religion pertained to individual needings is considered in needings like answering to human being’s fundamental questions, making sense of life, guarranting moral acts and explaining the life after death in detail. Its role regarding social needings is related to defining criteria of just life, and rules of ideal governing. In this case, the defect of human being’s intellect for providing just comprehensive laws, is led to pay more attention to the role of revealed teachings. So that some thinkers consider this as the philosophy of prophethood. Finally efficient role of religion, when is clarified that its teachings can have infallible and revelatory origin that such virtues can especially be seen in the Quran. In this paper, after explaining some kinds of human being’s needings, with emphasizing on individual and social ones, is paid attention to the role of religion and revealed teachings for answering such needings. The result of our research is that human being’s essential limitations is led to play God’s effective role. So revealed teachings have the best answers regarding human being’s needinfs, and providing his/her happiness and immortality.},

Problem of Evil}, 
abstract ={In this article is discussed David Griffin critiques the view of traditional theism about the problem of evil. They believes in omnipotence of God and believe that God can eradicate evils. But because they are not genuine evils or they are effective in creating the best possible world, it does not take any action in this direction. But Griffin considers their reasons to be indefensible, irrational and incompatible. Because their theory require that first: God be responsible for all the evils and suffering in the world, that contradicts the attribute of God's benevolence. Secondly; it lead to the denial of the genuine evils. While every human being with common sense accepts at least the reality of some of them (evils). Even thought they are literally denied. Griffin's view on justifying the evil of the world is that God is not omnipotent. Because all entities both big and tiny have inherent power by which they resist and persist against the power and action of God and God can not defeat the evils created them of course. God's is simply to persuade beings not coerce them indirection of desired goals.},

Hence it differs from theology and Kalam in this respect. Because in theology and theology they explain and defend certain ideas; But in scientific theology, from a non-religious point of view, the behavior and beliefs of religious people are described and explained.The issues raised in scientific study of Religion can be categorized around two issues; One is the discussion of the origin of religion and the other is the discussion of the function of religion. In terms of methodology, there are two basic approaches in scientific theology; one is the explanatory method and the other is the interpretive method. Each of these methods is based on principles and assumptions that seem necessary to discuss.What is intended in this article is to explain what scientific theology is, the goals and necessities, issues, principles and assumptions of scientific theology approaches.

abstract ={The issue of shame has always been a challenge for humanity and has brought with it many questions. One of the important questions, to which an important part of the philosophy of religion has been devoted, is the compatibility of evil such as the creation of Satan with God. There is no doubt that the creation of Satan and his existence is pure, On the other hand, we know that the system of creation and the world of creation is the best possible system and the best system that God created in order to be pure good. It occurs in this season that the world of creation, which is the best system, fits in with the creation of Satan, who is pure shame, and why God, who is pure good, Satan creates that the act of seduction is to mislead and mislead people, under the good order that God provides all the means of human development. And the creation of a creature such as Satan is not compatible with the mature wisdom of God and the existence of a good system; in other words, God's benevolence is challenged by the creation of Satan, which is pure shame. Philosophers, and especially Mulla Sadr, based on the principles of transcendent wisdom, believe that God created Iblis, who is a creature of beings, and that this creature has authority, Through the will and the will, he takes the path of misguidance and leads others to temptation and misguidance, Existence is itself recent, and as it relates to us humans, it is evil.},

abstract ={Proaches of Feydh Kashani and Thomas Aquinas inIn this essay, we seek to comparatively study the field of place of reason, revelation and relation of these factors with each other based on a descriptive-analytic method. Feydh Kashani and Thomas Aquinas as two influential Muslim and Christian theologians within the framework of their own religious principles, contrary to the current notion of the theologians, have never denied or reproached or neglected rational knowledge. The understanding of these two theologians of reason seems to have many similarities including deficiency and potentiality of rational knowledge, role of rational knowledge in providing the path for revelation of human natural tendency towards the knowledge of God and reaching divine vision. The present study shows that regardless of the differences that are concerned with the intellectual contexts of these two thinkers, in their ideas, we can see some common notions like significance and limitation of intellection, dependency of rational knowledge on divine mercy and effusion, insistence on the superiority of revealed knowledge over rational knowledge and depiction of end of cordial knowledge based on vision of divine essence. Of course, according to these two thinkers, knowledge alone is never deciding and knowledge along with the promotion of faith that is the result of divine effusion leads to the highest level of faith, i.e. reaching the status of divine purity.},
