Summary/Abstract: The article deals with the nature of pleasure-pain, which is within the scope of moral philosophy, and its relationship with reason; In this context, it put forth the criticisms of Fakhr al-Din al-Razi in particular to Ibn Sina in general to the philosophers of the Masshai tradition. The ground that makes this debate meaningful is the main question of whether the afterlife will be corporeal (cismânî) or spiritual (ruhanî). Accordingly, the issue of which mental and bodily pleasures and pains are superior has been brought to the agenda. Fakhr alDin al-Razi brought fundamental criticisms to the philosophical approach that establishes the relationship between reason and pleasure and pain on the basis of conformity (mulâemet) from theological perspective; by this debate and his criticisms, er-Razî has sought to bring a better and suitable definition for religious truth to the concept of mental pleasure and pain.
