A Review of Intellectual Problems of the Idea of soul's Substantial Motion

Although the idea of soul's substantial motion results in many achievements in intellectual and narrated discussions and solves many unsolvable problems, some basic problems has made previous philosophers to reject this idea. Having proved this doctrine and showed the results of its acceptance and rejection, Mulla Sadra tried to solve some of the problems posed on the idea, including "impossibility of motion in non-material objects" and "the conception of soul's persistence and constancy while moving". He provides a particular conception of soul's non-materiality and motion in spiritual substance to answer the aforementioned questions. Analyzing and evaluating Sadra's answers to these problems, the present paper seeks to provide and review other possible answers which can be offered by using the principles of transcendent philosophy itself.
