The issue of the distinction between existence and essence is one of the most important topics in the Islamic philosophical tradition. Farabi and Avicenna have played an undeniable role in the formation of this issue. Among the philosophers after Avicenna, there has been a difference of interpretation regarding whether Avicenna's distinction is merely a logical and conceptual one, or whether he also considers it to have an external, ontological dimension in addition to its conceptual aspect. Philosophers like Mirdamad have presented the first interpretation of Avicenna, while philosophers like Fakhr al-Razi, one of the early commentators of the *Isharat*, have presented the second interpretation of Avicenna.
The present study aims to determine the position of Bahmanyar, the most prominent student of Avicenna's school, within these two interpretative groups. Therefore, this article, relying on his main work, *Al-Tahsil*, seeks to explore this issue and attempts to present a comprehensive evaluation of this philosopher by examining his key expressions and gathering numerous pieces of evidence and clues.
The result of this research can be stated as follows: It is not easy to determine Bahmanyar's opinion, as there is significant evidence supporting both interpretations in his writings. Moreover, there is no fundamental principle in his works that can be identified as his main theory, based on which his other statements can be interpreted.
