Abstract
Technological phenomena, with tremendous effect on facilitating human life and increasing its capabilities, align themselves with the processes of human life. One of these phenomena that has become a vital arm of human life is cyberspace,

This study tries to provide a way to answer challenges associated with this important interactive phenomenon by asking the central question of what cyberspace is. This effort began with a comparative study of the concept of space in the general perception of physical space and cyberspace and by examining the approach of some thinkers and philosophers to what space is, concluded that the concept of space in its virtual meaning while having common points with the meaning of space in physical terms, has significant differences that arise from the permissible transcendental position in the discussion of cyberspace. The present study leads to the conclusion that the permissible meaning in the term in question is not directly related to its lexical meaning and only development in the permissible meaning in the sense of transcendence can clarify the concept of cyberspace. Thus the dual physical space-cyberspace is not The duality of truth and permissibility in the literature. When the permissible transcendence is considered, cyberspace means the transcended space of the senses, which in the interpretation of Islamic philosophy refers to the imaginary world. transcendence, in the more common sense of Kant, the condition of the possibility of experience, better reflects the position of man in terms of influence, or even the creation of the virtual world.
