The Effects of Super-Abstraction Attitude toward the Soul on the Human Life Style based on Mulla Sadra's Philosophy

This paper in the context of Mulla Sadra’s Philosophy studies this issue from his point of view that what effects the theory of “Super-Abstraction Existence of the Soul” have on individual life style. It is obvious that individual life style has very close relationship with the kind of person’s thinking and attitude to the world. In other words, the type of attitude and thinking of everyone determines his/her life style. An atheistic has different style and life style from a theist. According to Mulla Sadra, individuals’ attitudes are different based on their existential expansion. What is meant by the “super-abstraction existence of the soul” is that human soul which is an non-material existent in his evolutionary path after separation from his the material body and becoming an absolute abstract existent can go beyond of this level and reach to the super-abstraction existential level and separates even from his quiddity and getting pure being. In this level, human soul unites with God which is super abstract being. By analyzing Mulla Sadra's views and emphasizing on his substantial movement principle, we inferred some of the effects of this super-abstraction attitude to human soul on individual life style which are monism, non-materialistic attitude to the life, internal peace, change in worship way, and happiness in light of existential expansion. This article, with a descriptive and analytical method, seeks the influence of the super-abstraction attitude toward the human soul on individual life style.
