Abstract

the theory of “physical origination and psychic survival of Nafs” and its attainment to the level of intellectual abstraction after the stages of self-development is one of the achievements of the school of transcendent theosophy which is unprecedented among the pre-Mulla Sadra scholars. According to his principles, the human Nafs achieves the level of pure abstraction through the substantive motion from the level of pure materiality. This is the meaning of the physical origination and psychic survival of Nafs. The skepticism that arises from this perspective is how a single real thing, such as the soul, is characterized by two contradictory descriptions; That is, it becomes material and immaterial? Isn't this the essential transformation that its impossibility is accepted by scholars as well as Mulla Sadra? Research on this issue shows that based on the principality of existence and its analogical gradation, this doubt does not enter; because the impossibility of the essential transformation is related to principality of essence and also the originality of existence based on the difference of beings. The analogical gradation of the existence of the human soul indicates that the soul in one stage is material, and in another stage, passes this materiality and reaches the stage of abstraction. Therefore, there is no unity in rank here until the agreement of two opposites is necessary. In the analogical gradation of the existence, the common factor and the distinguishing factor are the same; Therefore, there is no problem in the simplicity and unity of the soul. This view is also consistent with religious teachings. This article has studied and analyzed this issue with a descriptive method and analysis of the basics.
