Identity of Body in the View of Mulla Sadra

Abstract:
The identity of the body due to one side of the body and the soul and the body in question is the wisdom Sadraee Because body is one side of the soul-body problem in Sadraian philosophy, its identity should have an important role to explain the relationship between them. And perhaps one of the reasons for multiple interpretations of the relationship between soul and body in transcendental philosophy is its lack of focus on the body. Analyzing the content of Mulla Sadra phrases, we can provide several titles and three images of the body. Body, sensible body, the genuine body, light body and steam spirit are titles that Mulla Sadra uses them to refer to identity or physical entities of body, but he draws three different nature of the body beyond these titles. One of them is tangible body that is just a combination of elements, the other is steamy spirit, in spite of having soft entity, it is material, and the last one is the genuine body or light body, although it is present in physical world, it is not material but corporeal i.e. has intensive dependency in material. This genuine body has a weak immaterial entity. This kind of immateriality has been allowed to be in physical world.
