The Evolutionary Process of Creation from Mulla Sadra's Point of View

Philosophers have offered various interpretations of creation. In the present article, Sadra's interpretation of creation has been considered. It is well-known that creation took place in two arcs of descent and ascent, in which the descent begins from God, and after the order of attributes and names, the worlds of intellect and example have reached the world of nature, and the beginning of the ascent, the world of nature and the end of God. And other worlds are between the two. Since in conventional theory, creation is associated with revelation, serious questions arise. Is the natural world the lowest of the worlds, and are beings in this world ultimately flawed? Is the end of the ascent arc exactly the beginning of the descent arc? Is it a reasonable hypothesis that a complete being would be reduced to weakness and degraded again from the lowest point to the first? In this article, while reviewing and criticizing the common view, an attempt is made to provide a new model of the creation process while answering the questions raised. In Mukhtar's theory, creation is constantly moving towards perfection and goes from the level of necessity of existence and the existence of science that is with God Almighty to the real worlds, that is, the world of intellect, example and nature. This process of creation is constantly intensifying and completing. What is revealed from the level of God's essence after the revelation is still present in the former order, only the way they appear in the revealed order is different.
