The Aspects of Virtues` Knowledge-Creating in Sadra's Wisdom

One of the axes of research in Western and religious epistemology in recent decades has been to assess the role of virtues - both moral and intellectual - on knowledge, and many theorists have talked about the type and extent of the influence of intellectual and moral virtues on knowledge. From the ontological foundations and new approaches of Mulla Sadra and his followers to three categories: knowledge (the what, the resources and the obstacles), soul and virtues, new answers can be given to this issue. By determining the criteria for what virtues are, those followers of Sadra have spoken of the key role of moral and intellectual virtues and vices in the process of knowledge. Of course, the context and sometimes the specificity of the words show that they often consider true and sublime knowledge or the knowledge of the sublime to be dependent on adornment with moral virtues; but intellectual virtues are considered the prerequisites of most knowledge. This review, by reviewing the epistemological virtues of contemporary epistemology, seeks to discover the aspects of such an attitude in Sadra's epistemology. Transition from the common Aristotelian definition of virtue, reference to new instances of intellectual virtues, as well as exact picture of the process by which virtues affect knowledge, are features of this philosophical tradition.
