The Cosmological Foundations of Environmental Ethics in Mulla Sadra Thought

With the advances of industry and technology, although the Welfare has become more available and life, easier for humankind and many of its problems have been resolved, but we are faced with many problems and even crises, that if left unchecked, it will be very difficult and perhaps impossible to restrain them in the future. One of these crises is the continual and increasing destruction of the environment, which is actually rooted in moral anomalies, because it is the result of excessive desire and see everything as a tool, including nature. Therefore, the issue of the environment needs to be further investigated and studied from this perspective. Ethical approach to the environment but depends on the intellectual basis that comes from thinkers'' attitudes. Accordingly, for each fundamental and sustainable action, with an ethical view of the environment, it is necessary to examine each of these Foundations in particular; because it can direct our ethical attitude and behavior towards it and play an important role, balanced and sustainable relationship with nature. For this reason, the present paper has attempted to examine, in a descriptive-analytical way, the Cosmological foundations of environmental ethics, focusing on Mulla Sadra''s religious-philosophical ideas and to explain their role in the ethical view of human habitat.
