Psychological Implications of Mulla Sadra's Transcendent Philosophy

The aim of this study is to extract concepts from the heart of transcendent philosophy to form a psychological theory. The basic premise is that Sadr al-Muta'allehin's views include the implications needed to formulate a theory of psychology. The second and third assumptions are that various aspects of a psychological theory can be deduced from the transcendent philosophy of Mulla Sadra. Moreover, Mulla Sadra's opinions have explanatory and helpful concepts in comparison with the existing theories in psychology.The results of the research confirm thiese assumptions and show that Mulla Sadra's views carry significant notions in the science of psychology, and by examining Sadra's anthropology, the basic assumptions in a psychological approach can be extracted.In this paper, presuppositions in the field of ontology are extracted and compared with the field of "human position in the world" with the approach of existentialism and in the field of "human definition" with the approach of behaviorism. Furthermore, some assumptions concerning "human evolution and development" have been extracted and compared in the fields of "human instincts" using a psychoanalytic approach, and "evolutionary features" based on Piaget's theory of "constructivism".Regarding the stages of infinite evolution in Sadra's views, we have not found any equivalent in psychology for comparison.
