Explaining the Effects of Essence Simplicity and the Gradation of Existence on the Quality of God’s Attributes, from the MullaSadra’s Point of View

Abstract

Self-existent in its essence has multiple inherent and real qualities. On the other hand, self-existent has the most simple and pure essentiality. The summation of the extreme simplicity and the diversity of God’s qualities is done based on the Mulla Sadra’s perspective on the essence of simplicity, relying on the rule of simplicity of essence in its gradation. The particular point of view offered by Mulla Sadra about the traits leads to attributing some more special characteristics to the divine existent. The purpose of the current study is to explain the characteristics offered by Mulla Sadra, concentrating on the Sadraian rule of the simplicity of essence and its gradation
