Mullahsadra has used the distinct views of previous philosophers for proving physical resurrection. He has considered his point of view in line with religion and surprised by those who know the day of judgment as spiritual, their express opposite opinion with doomsday bodies in the from of example body and have referred to the assembling from the graves and the blow of the soul by the angels. however, the involvement of some basic issues, such as the position of the religion, the inclusion of the differences between the world and the Hereafter, the kind of bonds of the soul with the afterlife bodies, and also the constitutive substance of the eternal bodies, has led to a dualism in his vision. Although he has distinguished the quality of hereafter life from the world, in the explanation the quality of the substance of Hellman's eternal body, he has inevitably likened the hell substance to this world. To compare the quality of the earthly body with the afterlife body, the mullah has used two terms of femininity and objectivity. In fact, he has generalized the soul to mentioned bodies. Although, he has considered his method for describing physical resurrection discursive and in conformance with religion, unlike his first claim, by including theosophical issues, he has given less importance to the mere rational aspects.

Pierre Hadot, the French Philosopher, considers ancient Greek philosophy as “a way of life”. He has no positive view of Scholastic Christian philosophies and believes that the rise of Christianity was the main reason behind the fall of philosophy from its main place as a way of life. Accordingly, he seriously questions the possibility of explaining and investigating Scholastic philosophies and their most important representatives, particularly Thomas Aquinas, and other religion-based-philosophies, such as Sadrian philosophy. The present paper explores the possibility of explaining Mullā Ṣadrā’s philosophy as a way of life based on Pierre Hadot’s approach to philosophy. Previously, in his study of Aquinas’ philosophy, Matthew Kruger stated that Hadot’s perception of Aquinas’ philosophy was incorrect and inaccurate while, if it is understood correctly, it is possible to explain it as a way of life based on Hadot’s approach to ancient Greek philosophy. Kruger has challenged Hadot’s view by resorting to some arguments such as Hadot’s incorrect perception of Aquinas’ philosophy and his disagreement with Thomasian tradition, Thomas’ attention to spiritual life, and presence of spiritual practice in his philosophy. In this paper, the authors initially present Kruger’s arguments and then, by providing some similar proofs from Mullā Ṣadrā’s works, try to elucidate the possibility of explaining Mullā Ṣadrā’s philosophy as a way of life based on Hadot’s approach. Following Kruger, they conclude that, at least regarding spiritual practices, which Hadot considers as one of the pillars of the theory of philosophy as a way of life, Mullā Ṣadrā’s philosophy can also be interpreted as a way of life. The novelty of this paper lies in the fact that it aims to demonstrate the possibility of such a research while being loyal to Hadot’s general theory, which was apparently considered to be a presupposition in the past.

Examining the opinions of Al-Ghazali and Mullā Sadrā on the issue of individual unity of existence shows that despite the differences in their foundations, they agree on the results. Mullā Sadrā has referred to Al-Ghazali's views on this issue in various positions of his works and has considered Al-Ghazali's viewpoint as supporting the combination of rational and religious methods in this subject. In his analysis, Mullā Sadrā has referred to Al-Ghazali's views in several stages, including: 1. Multiplicity of contingents, according to which believing in the individual unity of existence does not imply denying the existence of contingents; 2. The real existence of God and the metaphorical existence of contingents, according to which the existence of God Almighty and His Face is the only real existence and, others enjoy a metaphorical existence. The main question is, "What uses did Mullā Sadrā make of Al-Ghazali's opinions on the issue of individual unity of existence and what results did he achieve by referring to them?" This article has benefited from the rational and, where needed, scriptural method and has referred to the verses of the Quran. Based on his philosophical foundations and using Al-Ghazali's ideas in this matter, Mullā Sadrā has solved some philosophical and theological problems such as: "proving knowledge for all beings", "explaining the way of the righteous" and "the relation between particular monotheism and the servants' free will"; However, he considered the main purpose of these references to be the compatibility of reason and religion. As a result, the two thinkers' intellectual discourses show close affinities.

Neglecting important issues in epistemology, psychology, psychology and ethics. In this article, we will investigate the problem of neglect in the sublime wisdom of Mulla Sadra with a descriptive-analytical method, and the dimensions of this problem according to Mulla Sadra's psychology and his view on 1- the powers of the soul, 2- the degrees of the soul, and 3- its excellence. We dig based on the point of view of the powers of the soul, neglect is mainly presented in two meanings: 1) inattention and 2) forgetting. The discussion about these two meanings requires the analysis of Mulla Sadra's point of view regarding the role of attention in perception as well as the mechanism of memory and recall. From the point of view of levels and affairs of the self, neglect mainly has two meanings: 1) lack of existence or absence and 2) lack of coverage or ignorance. The perspective of the stages of the self is more compatible with the special foundations of Sadra's wisdom, such as the formation of existence, essential movement, etc. The third perspective to analyze the problem of neglect is the spiritual path of the soul, where neglect is mainly considered as an obstacle to the path to God and the veil of knowledge and divine encounter. This meaning of negligence includes a range of obstacles to self-improvement, such as negligence, impatience, carelessness, lack of action, indifference to stubbornness, objection and denial.

The argument of the righteous is intended to demonstrate the existence of Almighty Truth without the mediation of creatures. Fārābī propounded this approach, and Ibn Sīnā actualized it through interpreting the argument of ‘possibility and necessity’. Mullā Ṣadrā objected to its being righteous in Ibn Sīnā’s reading and presented an argument based on the same method. Now, the question is whether this argument, which is the result of the efforts of some distinguished Islamic philosophers, from Fārābī to Mullā Ṣadrā, can be logically inferred from the Holy Qur’ān and, thus, claim that this holy Book expressed this truth many centuries before all of them. Following a descriptive-analytic method and through employing logical principles, this study has discovered and inferred this argument from verse 53 of al-Fuṣṣilat Chapter. Moreover, through explaining the major and minor propositions of the argument, it has revealed how each of them can be inferred from this verse. The findings of this study indicate the rationality of Qur’anic concepts, manifest the inseparability of the Qur’ān and this argument objectively and based on proof, and introduces one aspect of the scientific miracle of this Heavenly Book.

One of the fundamental questions in philosophical anthropology pertains to the quality of the relationship between the soul and the body as two separate substances. This question has also been targeted in both Islamic philosophy and the philosophy of the mind. In Islamic philosophy, through propounding the principle of the corporeal origination and spiritual subsistence of the soul, Mullā Ṣadrā has tried to provide a decisive answer to this question. On the other hand, Edward Jonathan Lowe, one of the distinguished authorities in the field of the philosophy of the mind, has tried to resolve this challenge through negating the absolute immateriality of the soul. Following a descriptive-analytic method and through library research, the present study was carried out to investigate and evaluate the views of these two philosophers in order to find out whether they have been successful in solving this problem. The findings of the study indicate that, although it initially appears that both of them have been able to overcome this dilemma through providing similar responses, some deliberation over their approaches reveals that their answers suffer from certain problems that must be resolved.

The problem of predication is one of the important discussions in philosophy and logic. Predication means the union of the subject and the predicate. In Mullā Ṣadrā’s view, the criterion for union is limited to existence; therefore, his ideas of the two primary essential and common technical predications are different from those of others. These two predications were not efficient enough in explaining certain ontological discussions in Mullā Ṣadrā’s philosophical system. In fact, in clarifying the relationship between the real simple and possible things, he had to resort to a kind of predication that was in total conformity to the principles of the Transcendent Philosophy. Hence, he introduced a third kind of predication called the predication of ‘truth and defective, where ‘truth’ is the origin of the appearance of all things and manifestations, and things are the ‘defective manifestations’ of that ‘truth’. In this paper, the authors have examined the features of the predication of truth and defective that distinguish it from other types of predication. Meanwhile, they have tried to respond to some questions as follows: Can the truth and defective predication, which some thinkers view as a subcategory of the common technical predication, be considered a third type of predication? While some philosophers believe that this predication is invalid in relation to the active attributes of God and resort to a fourth kind of predication called the predication of apparent to manifestation, does this predication apply to such divine attributes based on the individual unity of existence? Finally, following a descriptive-analytic method and through explaining the characteristics of the predication of truth and defective, the writers demonstrate that this predication is a third type of predication that also applies to the active attributes of Almighty Truth in the light of the individual unity of existence.

The present study examines the social development of Man based on the Prophetic Transcendent Philosophy from Mullā Ṣadrā’s perspective following an analytic-descriptive method. The necessity and importance of this discussion lies in the idea that the knowledge of several social categories, such as the criteria for cruelty and true happiness, the quality of the interactions between culture and social traditions with social behaviors, individual and social liberties, citizenship rights, etc., depend on explaining the causes, features, and effects of Man’s social development. In relation to the mentioned factors, while investigating the functional concepts of perfection and development, the truth and mentally-positedness of society, and the place of the prophets and their heirs, the reasons behind the development of human species are mentioned based on Mullā Ṣadrā’s theories of the becoming of the rational soul, the graded motion of existence, Man’s connection to the Active Intellect and, following it, intellectual flourishing. In Mullā Ṣadrā’s view, the most important features for the realization of Man’s intellectual perfection include advocating the prophets, becoming similar to God, and imitating Godly behavior. The findings of this study demonstrate that in his sociological discussions, through promoting his Transcendent Philosophy to the Prophetic Transcendent Philosophy, Mullā Ṣadrā introduces the effects of Man’s social development in four categories of creating utopia or the one people, the prophets’ unveiling and displaying intellectual treasures, longing for the Hereafter and avoiding the love of worldly affairs, and establishing the transcendent civilization.

Mullā Ṣadrā’s philosophy has witnessed the rise of three approaches in its process of development: principiality of quiddity, principiality of existence based on graded unity, and principiality of existence based on individual unity. In the light of these three Sadrian philosophical approaches, the discussion of the ‘three modalities of being’ has undergone some fundamental changes. In conformity to the first approach, the source of division is quiddity, which is divided into ‘necessity, possibility, and impossibility’. At this level, possibility refers to quiddative possibility. In the second approach, the common three modalities are promoted to necessity and possibility. At this level, possibility refers to indigent and ontological possibility. In the third approach, the division evolves into a two-fold division of ‘truth and false’. The concept of truth in this approach shares the same meaning and references with the three other meanings of ‘truth’ in the third approach – priority of the truth, existence of truth, and true union - and bears a ‘paradigm and analogue’ relationship to the truth discussed in the mother of all propositions. In other words, the mother of all propositions is similar to Almighty Truth among all propositions. Almighty Truth is interpreted as the Highest Truth among all existents, and the principle of non-contradiction is interpreted as the truest of all sayings and the truest of all origins. All mentioned ‘truths’ can be propounded based on the principles of Mullā Ṣadrā’s third philosophical approach.

In this research, by examining the views of Avicenna and Mulla Sadra, the role of action in the completion of theoretical reason, in two major schools of Islamic philosophy, namely Hikmat al-Masha and al-Taaliyyah, has been considered. The importance of this issue is due to the explanation of the relationship between science and practice in the opinions of these two schools and the evolution of this discussion from the Peripatetic school to the transcendental wisdom. This is important among the metaphysical and moral issues related to the gap between opinion and action. The purpose of the research is to examine the relationship between practical reason - such as ethics and Sharia - and human worldly happiness and its alignment with the perfection of theoretical reason. The results of the research show that according to Ibn Sina, the perfection of the human intellect from the beastly to the useful is through the active intellect, but after the human intellect is actualized, it needs actions in order to connect to a higher intensity and level, through which it is freed from material and physical affairs. And it can be understood and united with general forms, which is the completion of theoretical reason. This theory in Mulla Sadra's opinion, since it considers the soul as the physicality of occurrence, it is also valid in the levels of potential intellect to the actual, that is, there is a two-way relationship between opinion and action in the levels of the soul in the physical, exemplary and rational world. The explanation of Avicenna's and Mulla Sadra's opinions in the field of Islamic philosophy shows the evolution and approach of this theory more clearly, which is analyzed in this research based on the method of dialogue between their opinions.

With the formation of the Safavid dynasty and the formalization of the Shia religion, followed by the request of scholars to publish knowledge, a suitable platform was formed in the 11th century. More than eighty percent of the explanations of the Arbaa books were written in this time, in terms of quantity and quality, among which the principles of Sufi have been given more attention than other books. Count the hadith. His careful look at the religious narrations caused him to change the purely narrating and devotional view of the texts. According to Allameh Shearani, this description has left a deep impact on the interpretations and hastransformed them. Mullah Saleh Mazandarani also wrote a commentary on the sufficient principles after Mullah Sadra. This analytical, descriptive and applied article by Baroosh examines the effective platforms in the writing of hadith works in the eleventhcentury in order to reveal by analyzing the methods of hadith jurisprudence in the commentaries of Mulla Sadra and Mulla Saleh that the hadith activities of this period were not only quantitative in terms of quantity but also rich in terms of quality. The use of the rules of logic and philosophical and rational discussions, the approach of interpretation and translation, paying attention to conveying the meaning and resolving the conflict of narrations are some of the prominent features of this explanation.

Among the Western philosophers, Bonantore has emphasized in his theology that in order to know the nature and attributes of God, one must use the knowledge of man. To complete his philosophy and solve the problem of negative and allegorical theology, he believes that knowing creatures is the best way to know God, because they all reflect his actions and will, but knowing man, who is the supreme creature of God, plays the greatest role in knowing God. By knowing many human attributes, one can know the attributes of God. He presented the psychology of man to God in the form of knowledge in the soul and from the soul. In this article, in order to find commonalities and differentiate the intellectual and argumentative aspects such as the supremacy of man, in a descriptive-analytical way, after explaining the example of the soul in Mulla Sadra's thought and presenting it in an organized way and examining its drawbacks, to explain Franciscan allegorical theology. We provide a coherent form and explanation of the knowledge of God through the soul in his works, and then we examine the theory of the way of the soul by emphasizing the ontological, epistemological and linguistic aspects in a comparative way between Sadra's wisdom and Italian Enlightenment philosophy. And we express the commonalities and differences of this theory in the two schools, the most important of which are the use of both the law of causalitymiddle solution of verbal commonality and spitraits between people. And riphilosophers.

The upcoming research is about the occurrence of the human ego; Is the human soul old or an accident? Is the accident spiritual or physical? Opinions surrounding it are different and sometimes conflicting, and Ibn Sina's and Mulla Sadra's views have provoked long-term controversies from the supporters of the two Sinawi and Sadra schools. Ibn Sina, whose extensive research in the science of psychology, especially the human soul, is without a rival until now, claims the spiritual occurrence of the soul, and Mulla Sadra, who, after Ibn Sina, is the most interested in the issue of the soul among Muslim philosophers, considers the existence of the soul to be physical; It is worth noting that believing in immortality and the theological concepts related to it, before determining the task regarding the physicality or spirituality of the human soul, is an effort with a deficiency, because the influence of the results from the sources is inevitable; Failure to reach a definite answer in the current issue will make the researcher face many questions and philosophical dead ends in drawing how the soul is related to the body, the corruption or solitude of the soul, and ultimately the correct conception of the meaning of life. The research has tried to state which of the two theories is more consistent with the rational foundations by presenting the reasons of the two views and criticism and what makes this research different from the previous research is that it is based on evaluation and analysis and in a rational way. Finding the answer to this basic question is whether these two theories are in serious conflict with each other, or whether Sadra's view can be evaluated in line with Ibn Sina's view

On the one hand, "The truth of existence" in transcendent wisdom is the title on which Mulla Sadra relies in important philosophical problems. He makes special rules such as primacy, unity and modulation for this title. On the other hand, He enumerates only three types of existence: the existence of God, the absolute existence, and the constrained existence. The relationship of that truth with these three types is very important in understanding Mulla Sadra's philosophical system. In this article, with the content analysis method, more focus has been placed on understanding this relationship and based on this, there is a discussion of the credits of existence, especially the credits of the " non-conditioned". Using the characteristics that Mulla Sadra expresses for the three types of existence and also Examining the accessories that each of the credits entails, it has been concluded that in Mulla Sadra's philosophy, the truth of existence, which has a divisive rule for these three, is non-conditioned. This validity is not related to the existence of God but only to the expanded existence with unconditional characteristics. According to Mulla Sadra's evidence and statements, this non-conditioned existence is the same as absolute existence in the subject of philosophy that it is possible to know God in its mirror.

Uthulujiyya examines anthropology in the arc of descent and arc of ascent. In the arc of descent, it explains the rational man, soulful man, and sensual man, and in the arc of ascent, it explains the return of these human levels to their original position. The problem of this article is to examine MullaSadra's reading of the anthropology of Uthulujiyya. How are human levels in Uthulujiyya compatible with Sadrai's reading of human levels? Can we talk about the influence of MullaSadra from the anthropology of Uthulujiyya? MullaSadra has reflected the anthropology of Uthulujiyya in various works such as Isfar, Havadat al-Rabbiyyah, Mufatih al-Gheeb and Tafsir of the Holy Quran. MullaSadra's anthropology, with its Islamic-philosophical foundations, i.e., the essential movement, and the questioning of the existence and single soul, and the Qur'anic view of the issue of man, has explained the anthropology of Uthulujiyya in the stages of the arc of descent and ascent, In fact, Mulla Sadra's rereading of the anthropology of Uthulujiyya is a critical rereading based on his philosophy.and reaches different conclusions from Uthulujiyya. This article is descriptive and analytical.

Plotinus is the greatest Neoplatonic philosopher and one of the most prominent thinkers of ancient times, whose ideas have greatly influenced later philosophers. The issue of time is of great importance to philosophers and philosophical schools after Aristotle, especially in the thinking of Plotinus. One of the important aspects of time-related discussions is how temporal fluid entities are related to fixed and discrete entities. Regarding the issue of time, Plotin first criticized Aristotle's definition of time and then explained the eternal, eternal and fixedness of the order of ages. pay Plotin finally proves his innovative point of view about the time of the image or the appearance of the soul in the world of matter. In the current research, it has been stated with the analytical-comparative method that Plotin's problems with the definition of time are not correct from Mulla Sadra's point of view. Plotin's claim that time is the image of the soul also faces many problems according to Mulla Sadra's principles in transcendental wisdom.

One of the fundamental topics in the history of philosophy and theology is the issue of the personal identity of human beings during their lifetime in this world and hereafter. Philosophers have studied this issue from different perspectives and have raised conflicting opinions. This question has been raised to some extent by Avicenna and Mulla Sadra, and both philosophers have examined and answered the problem within their philosophical framework. Avicenna believes that mankind is one species whose immaterial soul is personalized and individualized by accidents, and with its survival, the identity and individuation of a human person are still preserved, even though his body has changed or completely destroyed. Mulla Sadra, according to his philosophical foundations, especially the substantial motion, believes that a person's identity is subject to existential change, and this continuous motion coincides with individual unity. Therefore, with the survival of this continuous and comprehensive being, the individual's identity is preserved in this world and hereafter. Accordingly, it can be said that the person in his/her life after death is the same as the worldly one, and in fact, an evolving person goes through sensory, imaginary, and in some cases intellectual stages. Although both opinions, based on their philosophical foundations, have significant and defensible points, they face challenges from the epistemological aspect. In other words, since both philosophers believe that the body –with its terrestrial features- is absent hereafter, how an observer can identify the other-worldly individuals with the worldly ones?

Depressive disorder is one of the most common disorders that humans have been infected with throughout their lives. Considering the factors of this disorder, its cognitive and ontological symptoms, and despite all the psychological research done about it, there is still a gap in philosophical research in this field. Accordingly, the main question of the present research is: What is the perspective of Mulla Sadra regarding some cognitive symptoms of depression such as feelings of absurdity and sadness? The authors studied the views of Mulla Sadra with a descriptive-analytical method. The results show that the feeling of absurdity in humans is rooted in not finding the meaning of life, so that with a correct perception of the meaning of life this feeling and the resulting depression can be overcome to a great extent. Mulla Sadra believes that the cosmic end of the creation is the return to the supreme good, i.e. God. In this return, the human being, due to his/her exalted position among other creatures can have a volitional journey beside the cosmic one. In other words, two ends are defined for the human being: Cosmic and legislative. Moreover, by dividing sadness and happiness into the four types of sensory, imaginary, estimative, and intellectual, it is possible to better understand the types and levels of happiness and sadness. As a matter of fact, Mulla Sadra’s views give this insight that the feeling of sadness in depression is caused because a depressed person wrongly think that something is disagreeable with his/her nature.

One of the fundamental concerns of humanity since its inception has been the question of the meaning of life. Meaningfulness has two connotations: purposefulness and value. Certainly, the meaning of the meaning of life depends on the type of worldview and perspective of each philosopher. The present research seeks to examine the answer to the question of whether pleasure is related to meaningfulness or not. Does pleasure require pleasure to achieve the meaning of life? This research compares and contrasts the theories of Aristotle and Mulla Sadra on the relationship between pleasure and the meaning of life. In this article, the descriptive-analytical method is used to analyze the concepts. The most important philosophical bases that distinguish and differ between these two philosophers are the question of equivocation of existence. Aristotle does not believe in the equivocation of existence. From Aristotle's point of view, pleasure and happiness are a constant for all human beings and he does not believe in different levels of pleasure. He considers happiness to be limited to this world and exclusive to the rational part of man. He considers the way to reach meaning to be limited to the realm of virtue. However, Mulla Sadra, based on the principle of equivocation of existence, believes that pleasure has different levels, with intellectual pleasure being superior to sensory pleasure and being higher in terms of rank and existential dignity than the world of sense and matter. Mulla Sadra considers happiness to be related to the physical and spiritual dimensions, so Mulla Sadra believes in comprehensive happiness. He considers the way to reach meaning to be wisdom, imagination, and inner forces. He considers the way to reach happiness to be a human voluntary action. He considers the true example of happiness to be in the afterlife.

Sadr al-Mutalahin Shirazi has a special approach to understanding the Qur'an as a sacred text and a source of revelation.He considers meditation in the verses of the Quran to be related to meditation in the universe and introduces the Quran as a light through which the truths of things can be observed. He believes that most of the commentators who paid attention to the external and linguistic aspects of the Qur'an, neglected to pay attention to the meanings and content of the verses.And he considers interpretation in the interpretation of the Qur'an as a necessary matter and considers the field of understanding the meanings of the Qur'an to be a research of people of understanding and contemplation.In this article, while examining the principles and foundations of understanding the Qur'an in Mulla Sadra's thought, we have tried to discuss the necessity of interpretation and the way it was applied by Mulla Sadra in the interpretation of the verses of the Qur'an.
