Ontological Analysis of the Process of Action Issuance

The discovery of each philosopher's point of view within their philosophy of action, is based on "the principles of psychology" and "understanding the process of action issuance". The process of action emanation among peripatetic philosophers and theologians has been classified in some specific stages. A process that Mulla Sadra sometimes has followed and somewhere has taken and provided a different view. The basic question of this essay is to explore similarities and differences between Ibn Sina and Mulla Sadra in analyzing the process of action issuance. The result has showed that although Mulla Sadra in his conceptual analysis has accepted Avicenna’s elements of action emanation, but in his ontological analysis has represented the unity of the elements of action issuance. He, by the gradation of being to the soul faculties which has derived from the principles of the transcendental theosophy, has explained the levels of the action emanation. Accordingly, all the subjective preceding senses to the action are integrated and each sense is the same with the others ontologically.
