Ma`rifat Kalami

In discussions of religious faith, Kierkegaard distinguishes between objective and subjective reasons. He considers the nature of faith to be an internal matter whose main basis is the human will, and he introduces Christian faith as paradoxical. By dividing reasons into objective and subjective reasons, he considers objective reasons unreliable in the path of religious faith and considers them undesirable, and in contrast, he considers subjective reasons, in which human will plays a vital role, to be the appropriate path to faith. However, from the perspective of Mulla Sadra and Allama Misbah (may Allah have mercy on him), although faith as an ultimate truth also has an internal dimension and as an optional matter it originates from the human will, it is not limited to the internal dimension. Based on the philosophical foundations of Sadra and Allama Misbah, Kierkegaard's statements about the unreliability of objective evidence are subject to various problems. In his view, faith begins with an internal path and is strengthened with an external path.
