Mulla Sadra's Methods of Educating Human Soul

One of the prominent figures in epistemology from a moral-educative perspective is Mulla Sadra. This essay tries to analyze his ideas in a library-based method in order to find his educative methods. The key question is what educative methods are explicitly or implicitly mentioned in his epistemological ideas. He based his educative ideas upon his philosophical foundations specially the substantial motion and the union of soul and faculties. The study of his ideas indicate that attempts to get accustomed to haqq and constant rosary, obligation to care for soul in the path of soul’s perfection and purification is one of the main ways of soul nurturing. Implementation of educative justice based on the flexibility of the soul, protection of body and moderation, reinforcement of concentration and presence of the soul, nurture based on repetition and habit, reinforcement of trust and self-respect and nurture based on the development of creativity form the other levels of soul nurturing.
