Perfection and Dynamism of Eschatological Man in Mulla Sadra's Prospect

Since eschatological worlds are philosophically free from any passive matter and potential, movement and change in the sense of turning from potentiality into actuality is meaningless in those worlds. This applies also to perfection since it accompanies movement too. However, Mulla Sadra speaks about eschatological transformations and perfections in certain statements. The present article seeks to find what Mulla Sadra means by such statements. Responding this question clarifies the general prospect of Mulla Sadra to the eschatological world and its special system. So this article studies his statements in this regard and clarifies the point that in his opinion, perfection and change do not necessarily involve movement. He attaches to them a meaning more general than movement. Finally, according to these foundations, the possibility of instant perfection and change, perfection in terms of knowledge, and their actual happening in the next world are made clear. Based on this perspective, we should consider the philosophy of human life as being linked to limitlessness. Even in the eschatological heaven, moving towards the Almighty God and the absolute infinity would happen at a higher speed than this world.
