In the history of Islamic philosophy, there were few philosophers who had their own philosophy: Avecina, Farabi, Sohrevardi and Mulla sadra. Some philosophers did not offer a new philosophy, rather they had some innovations: Mirdamad, Khajeh Nasir and Qutb al-Din Shirazi belong to this group. Some philosophers had new narration of existing philosophies: Ali Modarres is an example of such philosophers.[1]
