Abstract
The philosophical discussion of human action is one of the most important contemporary philosophical topics. Various issues are raised in this issue. One of the issues that has been neglected in the philosophy of action, despite its importance, is the issue of the relationship between action and the body. This study seeks to philosophically explain the relationship between body and action and how the body influences the formation of action. In Islamic philosophy, the issue of action has been raised sporadically in the form of various topics. In this approach, practical reason is the source of action formation. This intellect is related to the body and has powers in the body, and action is performed through it in the body. The action has two arcs of ascent and descent. The arc of action ascends first to the theoretical intellect through the senses through the intermediate stages. The arc of descent from the unlikely origin to the origin involves the near formation of the action, and finally the action is performed through the active force by moving the bodily organs. The connection point of the action in the ascent and descent stage of the action; Is the body. This is related to the longitudinal levels of action. Action in its transverse course takes on a different interpretation in the light of teachings such as the essential motion of the soul, the union of the soul and the body, and the issue of death in transcendent wisdom. The body is effective in the formation of action in various ways: Some of these are: providing the principles of action, the instrumental role of the body in the realization of action, the queen of action through repetition of bodily actions, the realization of perfection through the body, the body's need for action Specifically, ,
