A Comparative Study on God from Mulla Sadra's Viewpoint (Based on the Principality of Existence) and Jasper's Existential Viewpoint

We can not find any philosopher, in the history of philosophy, who has not thought on the existence of God, despite his acceptance or rejection of God. In this paper we have compared the viewpoints of Mulla Sadra and Karl Jaspers on the subject of God and have reached the following 1- Although both philosophers have been considered as existential philosophers, their approaches to existence are different,2- Sadra's God is the God of religion contrary to that of Jaspers. 3- Both of them use intuitive approach in understanding God. Discussing God's existence and attributes, Mulla Sadra represents a positive theology and Jaspers represent a negative one.
