Practical Wisdom in Mulla Sadra's Transcendent Philosophy
Abstract
Mulla Sadra evaluates and analyses practical wisdom within the framework of his own system of philosophy and maintains that it is an optional and rational attempt to improve the self and collective life and, at the same time, attain divine goals and happiness. The practical wisdom portrayed by Mulla Sadra is completely different from that of Greek philosophers; it is by no means a purely philosophical system, lacking any relationship to religion.
