Phases of Human Existence on the Developing Movement of Reason in Mulla Sadra's Perspective

Human beings have the perfectible truth and they in their developing movement ascend in material and immaterial stations without having stopped at the specific station. Being has corporeal, imaginary and intellectual levels, and consequently, human being has elevated in sensual, imaginary and intellectual stages during his existential perfection. Each faculty indicates to the cosmological and existential levels. Mulla Sadra, in his discussion on the substantial motion, believes that the perfecting of human being will never stop. Man will obtain his perfection by using his theoretical and practical faculties. Accordingly, theoretical and practical wisdom will have four stages in which human being must elevate to achieve his perfection.
