This article attempts to present a new and critical interpretation of the controversial issue of matter in philosophy with an inner interpretation approach. In this interpretation, by reflecting on the spirit of the meaning of the story of the fall of Adam from the perspective of Allama Tabatabai, it becomes clear that the cause of Adam's fall to the world of matter, or essentially the cause of the emergence of the world of matter, is the belonging, confinement, and entanglement of a superior existential level in a subordinate existential level. In this self-interpretation, whenever a superior and abstract existential level, neglecting the covenant of Lordship, descends from its absolute and existential consciousness to a consciousness confined in a subordinate essential determination, material consciousness and, as a result, a material world emerges. In this article, after a detailed explanation of this claim using an analytical-philosophical method, more than seven of the most important rulings that the sages have stated for matter have been critically re-examined based on this reading in order to show how much more capable this interpretation is in explaining the rulings of matter in a clear and demonstrative manner and can resolve important ambiguities that arise in the origin of the existence of matter and its rulings. In addition, in the final sections of the article, it was shown that this psychological interpretation of matter, unlike the famous outer interpretation, has a very close connection with the system of Islamic knowledge and can enhance the philosophical understanding of some religious knowledge.
