Systematic Analysis of Man's Existential Encounter with God in Mulla Sadra's Philosophy

Mulla Sadra speaks of two interpretations of God: The Absolute and Comprehensive God of Names and the Manifest God with a specific name for each human being. The second view of God, according to Mulla Sadra, is a conceptual idol. The question that arises in this position is this: there is a gap between the absolute and all-encompassing God of names and the God who manifests with a specific name for each human being. What fills this gap? And what solution or solutions does Mulla Sadra offer in order to face a God free from any determination? The achievements of this research are as follows: In some positions, Mulla Sadra considers the analysis of God free from any determination and encounter with him in the intellect and considers the intellect to be responsible for filling the mentioned distance and not the position beyond the intellect; 2. Also, in his view, in positions of intuition and in some cases, the perfect man fills the mentioned distance, and in the light of the perfect man and following him, every human being can face the all-encompassing God of names and the all-encompassing God of "transcendence and presence" in the world. ; 3. In the analysis of the networks of human encounter with God, it can be said that the transcendental existential position prepares the ground for intuition, and the intuition in the next stage promotes the existential position, but what completes a network of relationships and components is the perfect human being.
