Abstract

Although Mulla Sadra followed the early theological and philosophical theories concerning the discussion of time, he still tried to create a tight relationship between time and being. By doing so, he corrected many of the ideas and theories of early philosophers in this regard and brought time from the domain of quiddities to the domain of being; he moved it from the soulless world of the body into the vast dimension of being and, finally, brought it into the domain of human mind and wisdom. In this way, human beings will be able to understand and experience changes not in the external world but in their own existence and all over the world of being. A study of the strong and weak points in his view of time is of importance to us because it provides us with a great insight into the future.
