Simple Human Intellect in Mulla Sadra
Author(s):
Abstract:
In this paper, through examining the meanings of the simple intellect in Mulla Sadras view, the writers have tried to clarify its specific meaning in relation to the human soul. He maintains that unity and simplicity are among the characteristics of the simple human intellect, and that the general acquisition of intelligible forms by the simple intellect is a particular attribute which distinguishes it from other levels of perception. The simple human intellect is a name coined for the level of acquired intellect in order to, firstly, explain the specific features of this level, that is, simplicity and unity, and secondly, to emphasize the ontological harmony of the acquired intellect with the Active Intellect, which is the origin of the emanation of intelligible forms and is in unity with the acquired reason. Mulla Sadra also uses the term the simple intellect to clarify the process of the descent of revelation and considers the descent of the Quran to be the product of the union of the simple intellect of the human soul with the Active Intellect or the Holy Spirit. It is through this union that the Divine Pen or the same Active Intellect portrays intelligible forms on the tablet of the prophets rational soul.
