Abstract :
Among the important and basic issues of philosophy that have been discussed during recent centuries, the rule of "Basit al-Haqiqah" or simple and uncompounded truth has been among the sages and philosophers of the East and West of the world.This rule has a special place to solve other philosophical problems and especially to prove monotheism.Mulla Sadra (Sadr al-Din Shirazi) believes in the principle of "Basît al-Haqiqa of all things and licks of something minus" means that all things are truly simple, while none of the things are; That is, it has the perfections and existential aspects and the goodness of everything, and is devoid of their defects, limits, and determinations. It is not easyOn the other hand, Leibniz, one of the great philosophers of the West, has tried to investigate, analyze and prove it with the expression "individual essence" or "manad". Leibniz believed that "herald" is a single, indivisible, elemental substance with many properties, but because it is simple, it has no components.According to what is stated in this article, simple existence, absolute existence, and infinite existence have the same meaning, and this is a common topic between Mulla Sadra and Leibniz.
