An analysis of the principles that Mulla-Sadra uses in his justification of bodily resurrection

Authors

Abstract

Mulla-Sadra in his different philosophical and theological works has discussed the issue of resurrection (Ma-add), both in spiritual and bodily way. In this works he attempted to demonstrate the issue of bodily resurrection according to the principles that formerly have been proved in his philosophical system.
The subject is that, the quantity of these principles differs from one work to another. In some works there are six principle and in others twelve; this 12 or 16 principles, if is viewed altogether with omission of the two, encompasses of theological-anthropological and ontological principles.
In explanation of the issue of bodily resurrection, Sadra uses a language that at the same time bases on existence and nature (quiddity). Although we all know that most of his principles conclude from an existential language.
