In Iranian intellectual history, the first attempt to deal with Western philosophy critically was made by two representatives of the religious institution, Moḥammad Ḥoseyn Ṭabāṭabāʾī and Mortażā Moṭahharī (1902-1979 and 1920-1980, respectively). Ṭabāṭabāʾī, in the early 1950s, tried to formulate a philosophically grounded answer to the influx of Western philosophical teachings, notably Marxism and positivism, in his text 'The Principles of Philosophy and the Method of Realism' that became supplemented by a commentary, designed to make the main text understandable to a wider public, by Ṭabāṭabāʾī's student Moṭahharī. Both scholars deal with modern Western philosophy on the basis of Mullā Ṣadrā's (d. 1640) ontological realism.
