Relations of Perfect Human and Caliphate in Mulla Sadra's Thought

Mulla Sadra is one of the Islamic philosophers who has rationally coherent thought of anthropology. Mulla Sadra clarifies human's existence from different philosophical, mystical, political and theological aspects, and shows their internal relations. In his viewpoint, human's dual dimensions, with emphasizing on spiritual one, is related to human's evolutional journey and is remembered the idea of trans-substantial motion of the soul in which corporeal creation is ended to spiritual permanence. In addition, human's evolutionary tendency, finally, draws the place of perfect human and his high stage in the chain of divine creatures that he due to having ontological, epistemological and moral virtues, is appointed to guide and govern other people in the forms like Prophethood, Imamate and Sainthood (Vilayat), according to God's commands. It seems, Mulla Sadra's anthropology is able accurately to picture some real virtues of human which can be applied in theorizing in anthropologies, social sciencese and humanities.
