Four-Dimensionalism and Sadrean Metaphysics

In this article, the author will show that Mulla Sadra’s arguments for substantial motion and ordinary motion and explanation of the relation between attributes of the object (accidents) and the object itself (substance) result in a four-dimensionalistic picture of objects and fluid body based on which common research plans may be proposed for interaction between the contemporary metaphysicsconcerning endurantism and perdurantism- and Sadrean metaphysics. This interaction, particularly in disputable fields such as “identity” and “non-existence” (or existence) of the quantum of time and that whether temporal parts are mentally-posited or not, may be executed.
