This thesis is a study of the intellectual formation and thought of Muḥammad Muḥsin ibn Murtaḍā ibn Maḥmūd al-Fayḍ al-Kāshānī (1007/1598-1091/1680), a Twelver Shi'ite philosopher, theologian, traditionist (muḥaddith), exegete (mufassir), jurist, and poet in Safavid Iran (907/1501-1135/1722). I examine al-Fayḍ's intellectual genealogy (i.e. his teachers and his students), scholarly training, intellectual trips, and connections with the major scholars of his time. I situate al-Fayḍ within the religious and socio-political historical context of Safavid Iran and examine his affiliation with legal, philosophical, and mystical schools. Given that al-Fayḍ was a chief scholar in Safavid Iran's religious and dynamic environment, I look for the overall social-scholarly conditions, which shaped his intellectual character and output. I provide a detailed description of al-Fayḍ's epistemology, which forms the foundational basis of his intellectual production. This entails an investigation of the sources of the three structural components of al-Fayḍ's integrative epistemology, namely, demonstrative proof (burhān), mystical unveiling ('irfān), and divine revelation (Qur'ān). Through different examples from al-Fayḍ's texts, I examine how al-Fayḍ applies his integrative epistemology in his works. In particular, I show how he tries to achieve concordance between the rationality and the revelatory in a discrete manner. In doing so, I investigate al-Fayḍ's mystical and philosophical epistemic views and how he attempted to harmonize them with traditional Imāmī doctrinal positions. This study addresses al-Fayḍ's adaptation of some of Mullā Ṣadrā's ideas, which are elucidated in his magnum opus, al-Ḥikma al-Muta'āliya (Sublime Wisdom). Given the significance of the intellectual addition of al-Fayḍ to the Shi'ite tradition, much remains unknown about his life, doctrines, and works. The thoughts, theories, and doctrines of al-Fayḍ have been analyzed in a few studies, some of which fell short in terms of key information about him. Building on a variety of primary and secondary sources, the present thesis contributes to an understanding of the connections between al-Fayḍ's intellectual life, in addition to his doctrinal, methodological, and epistemic positions and the nature of his philosophical-religious outlook
