The Manifestation of Mullā Sadrā's Philosophical Anthropology in Imam Khomeini's Movement

Mullā Sadrā’s Philosophical Anthropology on the basis of philosophical thought is the base of a cultural and ethical system in the Islamic world. Relying on “priority of existence”، “gradation of existence”، “substantial motion” and “the universal and human evolution system”، he could explain the way for human to evolve and being educated up to the dignity of “God’s Caliph” - successor of God. Imam Khomeini as a disciple of Transcendent Philosophy - relying on Quran and Mullā Sadrā’s doctrine and with emphasis on the divine nature of human being - believed that human has the potential of evolution - in the arc of ascent (qaws-i-su''ud) - so that he can reach the dignity of “God’s Caliph”. With such a base of thinking، he decided to create a huge movement in the contemporary world in order to realize Esteem، Glory and respect. Finally، he could accomplish the biggest revolution of the century. From then on، he established some social organizations such as Basij، Housing institution، Help committee، etc. in order to pave the way for social and cultural platforms of developing human’s potentials. The result of all these were self-consciousness and nurturing great men for the Islamic Awakening.
