The goal of this article is the explanation of typology of self- knowledge in sadrian philosophy and the relationship between each one. By exploring in the typology of self- knowledge in sadrian philosophy can be more recognition of Human self- knowledge. There are three steps from awareness in sadrian philosophy as mentioned perception, sensory awareness, imagination and rational. So, self- knowledge can divide into three intuitive: sensory, imagination and rational. In the sense of self- knowledge one awareness into the sphere of his/her material existence in generally, and his/her body in specifically as “my body” and “myself” is mentioned. When one aware of his/her ideal body that is immaterial with material effect, into the sphere of imagination he/she has imaginative self- knowledge. Finally, rational self- knowledge is aware of immaterial nature without bodily or material sense. Therefore, Mulla Sadra said that human rational self- knowledge not perfectly immaterial but it’s also poison the imagination. Therefore, his/her rational self- knowledge is poison to the imagination.
