Abstract

A comparative study of Death from the perspectives of St. Augustine and Mulla Sadra is an effective and beneficial step toward its understanding. St. Augustine’ s perspective is based on Christian traditions and especially influenced by St Paul’ s notions of Death and the original Sin, as he believes that the main cause of Death is Sin. He believes that man should have been able to benefit from the gift of eternal life if he did not commit Sin. But the original Sin of Adam and Eve Since the conception of the human race has been their Death penalty. Mulla Sadra, however, does not accept the effect of the original Sin, although like St. Augustine he believes that intentional Sin does kill the soul. In addition, with regard to substantial motion theory, Mulla Sadra believes that natural Death is another existential step of perfection for mankind. Despite all the differences, both philosophers emphasize the common aspects of natural Death including necessity, generality and its being a favor. Also, both believe that volitional Death means the cultivation of the soul and eradication of the sensory instincts and disconnecting the soul from the body of Salek (The Spiritual Traveler). They consider Death as a beginning of a new life and call it a way to approximate God.
