Understanding or confrontation between Ibn Sina and Mulla Sadra on the issue of the emergence of the human soul

Abstract

The upcoming research is about the occurrence of the human ego; Is the human soul old or an accident? Is the accident spiritual or physical? Opinions surrounding it are different and sometimes conflicting, and Ibn Sina's and Mulla Sadra's views have provoked long-term controversies from the supporters of the two Sinawi and Sadra schools. Ibn Sina, whose extensive research in the science of psychology, especially the human soul, is without a rival until now, claims the spiritual occurrence of the soul, and Mulla Sadra, who, after Ibn Sina, is the most interested in the issue of the soul among Muslim philosophers, considers the existence of the soul to be physical; It is worth noting that believing in immortality and the theological concepts related to it, before determining the task regarding the physicality or spirituality of the human soul, is an effort with a deficiency, because the influence of the results from the sources is inevitable; Failure to reach a definite answer in the current issue will make the researcher face many questions and philosophical dead ends in drawing how the soul is related to the body, the corruption or solitude of the soul, and ultimately the correct conception of the meaning of life. The research has tried to state which of the two theories is more consistent with the rational foundations by presenting the reasons of the two views and criticism and what makes this research different from the previous research is that it is based on evaluation and analysis and in a rational way. Finding the answer to this basic question is whether these two theories are in serious conflict with each other, or whether Sadra's view can be evaluated in line with Ibn Sina's view
