Abstract

Being familiar with various philosophical sources and schools, Mulla Sadra sometimes provides diverse answers to some of the philosophical or theological problems. For example, in regard to equality of the Divine essence and attributes, there are three theological, philosophical, and mystical perspectives in the works of this Shirazi philosopher, which are referred to respectively as general, special, and specific approaches in the present articles. The main goal of this study is to explain Mulla Sadra’ s general approach and compare it to the other two perspectives. Naturally, in order to understand Mulla Sadra’ s philosophical answer, it is essentially important to understand its differences with the more general approach and the theological perspective. After explaining these important differences, Mulla Sadra’ s philosophical perspective shall be described. In explanation of his philosophical theory, Mulla Sadra first compares the Divine essence and attributes to the existence and nature of the physical objects, and then, relying on the Accidental Realization of the quiddities, he regards the Divine essence to be essentially equal to the “ existence” and accidentally equal to the transcendent attributes; therefore what is abstracted directly from the Divine essence is the concept of “ Predicative Existence” ; but, as the subjective attributes are related to the existence and its essential properties, they are inherently abstracted from the simple Divine reality, and this means that the attributes are equal due to the unity of the Divine essence. Accordingly, concentrating on the Hidden Restrictive Attributes prepares the ground for understanding Mulla Sadra’ s philosophical approach accurately, and differentiating it from his mystical approach to the Divine essence and attributes.
