Mulla Sadra on Metaphysical Explanation of Human Biotypes

Abstract

Mulla sadra and his philosophy descriptors, inspiring by Quran and Mysticism also by contribution of existential attitude, talked about various human biotypes. Here, the main question is that: how does Mulla Sadra explain the multiplied human biotypes? The answer is as follows: 1. Based on ontological and anthropological foundations of Mulla Sadra, human has simultaneously unity and polarity. He considers ten human dignities based on Quran, seven human biotypes by inspiring from mystical heritage and finally, three big human biotypes from his existential attitude. 2. From Mulla sadra’s point of view, the way to achieve human dignities is to pass mystical Quadr-trips. 3. Human, unlike other creatures in universe, has no certain and limited position. Thus one cannot limit him in 7, 10 or any certain number of biotypes; unless to express human biotypes as 7, 10 or 100 dignities. Moreover, not a unit prescription with unit coordinate, can be considered for human life due to various biotypes.
