This paper aims to study differences between the theosophie and philosophy. Theosophie is beyond philosophy. Theosophie is theophanic philosophy of human soul, spirit, deed and act and is the result of a kind of revelation and intuition and is beyond mere theoretical and controversial issues. Theosophie is a blessing knowledge and is the result of divine grace; however philosophy for every wise man is obtained after learning preliminaries and a little practice in rational issues. Therefore, obtaining theosophie is not feasible for anyone and requires some preparations and conditions in which some of them are scientific and theoretical and part of them are practical and moral. They are in fact moral of theosophie seekers and theologian is a person who is endowed with good morals and he himself is the embodiment of practical theosophie. Sadra based on the Koran's and traditions' emphasis on the theosophie term, prefers theosophie term to philosophy term; however, his defined theosophie is transcendental, it means a religious and Koranic theosophie which is taken from Koran and traditions. Sadra's theosophie corresponds to Koran and all of the Sadra's works is the field of this correspondence. Therefore, because of his great efforts and careful considerations to Koran and exoteric interpretation, the obtained theosophie is transcendental and is more superior to the other philosophies.
