Ontetic Reduction is the name of final stage of reduction in the Transcendent Method as presented by Persian Philosopher, Mahmoud Khatami. ==Transcendent Method and Ontetic Reduction== Transcendent Method was already employed in Persian Illuminative philosophy as suggested by Suhravardi, and developed by Mulla Sadra. However, as reconstructed and presented by Khatami, this method is based on the notion of ''Tashkik'' (the hierarchic degreement structure) of light as Being/Consciousness/ life. The core of this method is a Tashkiki reduction which is ended and rooted in "Ontetic Reduction." Ontetic reduction is the highest and purest stage within which the tashkiki structure of light, in its three indication, appears. Khatami has reconstructed the “transcendent method” and developed an “ontetic logic”.() To set up the transcendent method, first, Khatami starts from every day experience and reconstructs a method to transcend from this experience by reducing it to its original source step- by- step. This method leads to three continuous levels of human consciousness each of which follow its relevant level of logic. Let us describe the pillars of this method and its logic very shortly. “The transcendent method starts with an ideal for a beginningless commence.”() This phrase sounds a Husserlian phenomenological epoche. No doubt, Khatami has considered Husserlian phenomenological method in elaborating his transcendent method; but he has intensively inserted Persian illuminative elements here. First of all, he pursues this beginningless commence in the stage of Tubah (meaning: return) in the illuminative practical doctrine of Sayr va Soluk (literal meaning: journey and conduct) and builds up his integral logic. Khatami’s method and logic is constituted from vertical as well as horizontal aspects of consciousness and being in a hierarchic but continuous structure. According to Khatami, “There are two interrelated kinds of sayr va soluk in general: Afaqi which belongs to the horizon of Being, and Anfusi which is vertically directed toward the purest point (or the source) of Being. These two kinds of sayr va soluk are realised for a Truth-seeker (talib al haqq) in four stages of an existential experience which indicates four ek-stasis of the self to achieve the presential cognition.” 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ontetic reduction」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
