The dignitaries od Sheikism creed have always exaggerated about Sheikh Ahmad Ehsaee’s science as Kazem Rashti has considered him as the founder of all sciences.[1] Additionally Karim Khan Kermani considers him as the author of books in 37 sciences.[2]
Meantime, one of these sciences is philosophy. Since Sheikh Ahmad Ehsaee wrote an interpretation about the philosophical books of Mulla Sadra and the dignitaries of Sheikism cult was intrigued to consider him to be skillful in philosophy science. While, according to philosophy science dignitaries, Sheikh Ahmad Ehsaee hasn’t possessed a deep understanding about this science.
Late Ashtiyani says about Sheikh Ahmad‘s understanding of philosophy: “I have studied his works several times exactly. I believe that Sheikh Ahmad hasn’t figured out even a rule of philosophy and mysticism ones.[3]”
However, what has been purpose and aim of this action? What has been Ehsaee’s logic to claim for possessing all sciences of the Household of the prophet (peace be upon them)?!
