A Critique of the Theory of " Perfection of the Soulis the Reason of Its Separation from the Body"

Death of organisms such as animals and human beings is realized with the separation of the soul from the physical body. In this state, the body stops working and gradually becomes corrupted. It is clear that the animal soul after its separation from the body, dose not survive and disappears. But the human soul due to its essential immateriality continues its survival. It has an intermediate life in this world and an eternal life in the resurrection. However, the main question is how and why death occurs? In fact, what happens to the soul that it becomes separated from the body? Is it because of its evolution and becomes self-sufficient, or because the body can not accompany the soul and is being forced to separate? The second view is famous one among scholars, while Mulla Sadra and his followers believe that the reason of the separation of the soul from the body is its perfection and self-sufficient. In this article we want to criticize the view of Mulla Sadra and ask questions that it seems they cannot be answered in his view.
