Abstract
Mulla Sadra like other philosophers regards reality of being or being qua being as the subject-matter of philosophy. Reality of being is the same as external reality itself which he proved its primacy and priority. Throughout his philosophy he listed the properties of this reality upon which he based his philosophical arguments. It is worth noting that by making comparison between these properties and attributes of God one can easily realize that reality of being in Sadra’s view is the same as Necessary Being. Therefore, it is true that subject-matter of philosophy is being qua being or the very reality of being, but in view of the identification of attributes of Necessary Existence with those of reality of being we can conclude that all philosophical debates of Sadra have indeed centered on the Necessary Being as if there were no being in reality other than God with whom all other existents have their own realization.
