Abstract
The discussion about the world of separate imagination has been very important for mystics as well as philosophers, and each of them had different opinions about this world. Among the mystics, Rumi has made indirect references to this world in Masnavi. Mulla Sadra also dedicated a part of the book to this discussion in Asfar Arbaah. This research has been done with the aim of investigating and analyzing the opinions of Rumi and Mulla Sadra regarding the imaginary world from the two perspectives of ontology and epistemology, under which, the differences and similarities of their views have been stated. The method of this research is descriptive-analytical and the evidence and samples have been collected from library sources. The findings of the research showed that there is not much difference in the opinion of Molvi and Mulla Sadra regarding the truth of the power of connected imagination and the existence of the world of detached imagination and their performance. Both recognize the existence of a separate imaginary world. At the same time, both of them consider the world of imagination to be the inner world of matter. But due to the fact that Rumi's view on the subject of the imaginary world has more of a mystical aspect, and in the same way, Mulla Sadra's view is more of a philosophical view. So, as a result, there have been differences between these two thinkers in their response to the topic of the imaginary world
