Abstract

The theory of authentic conceptions, in its general form, is a new theory introduced by the Great Interpreter and Moslem theosophist the late all knowing Mohammad Hussein Tabataba’ee into the field of philosophical argumentation. Doctrines brought up in argumentations of logics and the old philosophical anthropology and also controversies in the Rhetoric Science, and Moslem Scholastic Theology and the Islamic Legal Theory, some have paved the way in his sensitive mind and others provided the raw material for that theory. The theory teaches us that human beings, in their interaction with the environment take action to make devices of the kind of thought. These thoughts, being present in any kind of individual and social action, describe the things and human beings relevant to us, using titles, qualities and attributes which are not true whatsoever. The moral, legal, economic and political laws are all of this type of thoughts. Recognition and distinguishing them from the real thoughts and knowing how to think and research in them adequately, not only increases our scientific insight, but also will teach us how to think and which errors to avoid, while making individual and social decisions.1
