Abstract
Concept of time has been intriguing in the circle of the intellect; it has been
observed that time remains worth being questioned like Being of beings is
questioned by philosophers. However, this forgetfulness of the questions of
either time or Being has not only been detected by Heidegger, but more closely
by Sadrudin Shirazi in Persia. The only difference lies between them is either
Being concealed or discovered as Transcendence or something more than this
God is a simple and pure Being in the Transcendent Theosophy of Mulla Sadra.
For Heidegger, such Transcendence is not some extra-terrestrial power; rather
it is Being of beings in the world always and already there. Heidegger and Sadra
both equally strive for the novel conception of time with reference to the Being of
beings. They confronted manifold troubles in their theorizations on the
Conception of being of Time and Being of beings. Following this realm of
reasoning, in this article we would critically and closely look into major trends
of philosophical existentialism in the critical perspective of time. The reality of
time and Being of beings is concerned with idea of motion either substantial or
non-substantial, because all change is reversed to motion as the processor or
time constituent intermediary between what is and what is not or nothingness.
However, this conception of nothingness should not be construed as any kind
of nihilism or in the least thing like that. Indeed philosophical existentialism is
a colossal deterrent to nihilism; therefore nihilism would remain no challenge
due to existentiality of Is-ness. This existentiality of Is-ness is a full manifest
of whatever exists either in time or beyond the quantification of motion.
However, time presumes significance and preponderance of motion. For such
an idea it is believed that all change perpetuates continuity and flow of
bits of moments within substantiality of Is-ness of (whatever) is. Realizing the
reality of time with reference to Being of beings requires some intermediary
substance which could regulate all spheres of Is-ness and that of nothingness as
well. In the same realm of thinking, Substance not only is a regulator of motion
but at the same time it is a primordial principle of all motion permeating
through and through substance itself. Therefore, all motion is substantially
actualized. However, this substantial motion is the primordial benchmark of all
diversity, identity and intensity of Is-ness towards nothingness of what it is in the
constant flow of becoming. In this article we would critically investigate the
basic problems such as time via substantial motion, Being (principiality of
Being), Dasien as being there (antic and ontological), simple existence, plurality
(monism and pluralism), identity and difference. Furthermore, we would like to
analyze the doctrine of Being by Mulla Sadra in the perspective of Theology
