Philosophical Consequences of Substantial Motion on the Issue of the Soul and its Evolution of soul
Journal Title: جستارهایی در فلسفه و کلام - Year 2012, Vol 44, Issue 89
Abstract
One of the most important philosophical consequences that have left an enormous impact on some philosophical issues is the substantial motion theory. It is a comprehensive theory, which opens new perspectives to many of the philosophical problems, including movement of the soul (nafs) that Mullā Ṣadrā, contrary to the earlier philosophers, viewed as of substantial (essential) movement kind. The substantial movement of the soul is important in that it has consequences that mostly explicate the issues concerning the grave and the Resurrection. What is carried out in this article is the extraction of the important consequences of this movement such as: corporeality of the soul at the beginning of creation (ḥudūth), conjunction of creation and eternity of the soul, solving the problem of the duality of the soul and body, gradual generation of the soul, typical difference of human beings in terms of inner aspect (bāṭin), union of the soul with the active intellect, natural death and its truthfulness, impossibility of reincarnation, various types of purgatorial and rational incorporeity of the soul, persistence of the souls after death, bodily Resurrection, the Gathering (ḥashr), Path (ṣirāṭ), immortality of the disbelievers in perdition.
