Summary/Abstract: Our short lifespan raises some important questions. One of them is the question of our identity. What foundations should we rely on? If our environment does not provide us with a satisfactory answer, can we take shelter under the “roof” of some significant authority? And finally, are we already woven into some “hidden” systemic system? The basic experience of Descartes’s Cogito is precisely the “multicultural” experience of how my personal identity is no better than what seems “eccentric” to us. In the philosophy of Mulla Sadra, identity is established between the one who knows and the one what knows.
