An introduction to Mulla Sadra's Anthropology
Abstract
Sadrean anthropology is required for two reasons:First- for understanding where the Sadrean anthropology in the frame of his thought's structure abides, as well as, for understanding the relation between the other issues such as knowledge of God and cosmology in Sadrean thought.Second- to propound it as an adequate alternative against the anthropologies, studied in today's world.Mulla Sadra regards the study of the soul, for its perfect-seeking relation with the body, as among the natural sciences, and puts it at the top of these sciences. And since soul is a spiritual thing, proceeding toward its origin, he considers the knowledge of it as Divine science. Here one can conclude that Mulla Sadra has regarded anthropology as an interdisciplinary science.
