An Educational Analysis of the Theory of Trans-Substantial Motion

This research seeks to provide an educational analysis of trans-substantial motion as one of Mulla Sadra's initiatives. For this purpose, first the principle of motion in Mulla Sadra's intellectual and philosophical system is briefly explained, and then in line with the approach of the social extension of philosophy, it is educationally inferred. By proposing the theory of trans-substantial motion, Mulla Sadra believes that the material world and nature constantly evolves and develops in all its essence, moves in quantity and quality from potentiality to actuality with a graded approach, and follows the path to perfection and survival. The link between motion and education is due to the fact that divine legislation and validity are based on generation, and the deepening of education with the centrality of the essence of existence corresponds to motion. The result of the relationship between the two will be components and principles such as transformation and perfection, gradual elevation and continuity, systematicity and appropriateness. This model of education has elements such as dynamism, continuity, extension and depth, which are the result of the movement and activity of educator and student in an interactive relationship. Accordingly, education is an accumulative movement with a truth that develops all physical and spiritual aspects of human existence.
