Abstract

The meaning of the text and the anagogical interpretation of meaning in Sadra's school is affected by his views and principles. Hence, in his philosophy, the explanatory meanings are justifiable and logical. In Sadra's school, meaning, which is the outcome of the man's exposure to the universe, has an actual fact that a heavenly figure can explain it and determine it, and uses its capabilities to introduce the facts of different realms. Sadra's principles and views, including the fundamental reality of existence, the gradation of being, the rule of non-composite real, as well as Sadra's view on psychology, substantial motion and fixed Essences somehow impacts the logic of the meaning of the world of sense or the world of imagination and reason, and they can explain the ontological foundations of the anagogical interpretation of the text. This paper studies the impacts of the Sadra's principles and views on the meaning of the text, and it highlights some texts that have been analyzed by Sadra in this respect. Using a descriptive-analytical method, and while referring to Sadra's view regarding the anagogical interpretations, this paper shows the capability of Sadra's Philosophy in developing the meaning of text, and studies his logic in the anagogical interpretation from the aforementioned viewpoint. This paper seeks to illustrate the logic of Sadra's anagogical interpretations on the extracted meanings of the text.
