Abstract

The concept of the perfect human being presents a significant challenge in philosophy and mysticism, leading to various definitions. Aristotle described humans as "speaking animals" and sometimes "political animals. " In contrast, Ibn Arabi views man as a divine essence, infused by God’s merciful soul, embodying the truths of the world. Mulla Sadra, influenced by Ibn Arabi, regards man as a divine caliph and comprehensive being. He acknowledges the diversity of human types, asserting that individuals can evolve through various stages, continuously advancing in their humanity rather than being confined to a specific essence. Western philosopher Immanuel Kant, a key figure in anthropology, posits that meaning—whether related to God or existence—emerges through humanity. Despite human cognitive limitations in addressing profound questions about the world and God, Kant argues that this same humanity provides a foundation for practical reason and ethics, holding infinite dignity. This article aims to explore the similarities and differences between Mulla Sadra and Kant’s perspectives using primary sources in a descriptive-analytical manner.
