Abstract

Most of non-Sadra'i and even Sadra'i philosophers believe in immobility of non-material and deny movement in this kind of creatures. Because of some new points of view which attribute immobility of immaterial to Mulla Sadra, this article wants to gain his final opinion via reviewing the reasons that advocators and opponents have declared. Therefore after explaining reasons of philosophers in favor of famous opinion and criticizing them, some evidence, consonant with immobility of non-material, has been expressed. Based on this evidence, it is amplified that a more detailed look at elements of motion definition, will make fundamental changes on triple components of motion which are "exit, potentiality, graduality"; consequently many of the basics founded on the first and second Aristotle's definition of motion would vary fundamentally. One of the important results of these fundamental changes in motion definition is the challenge of "motion in non-material" which is so compatible with the basics of Transcendent theosophy. "Intensification of Existence" which is accepted by all of Sadra'i philosophers, brings us closer to this conclusion that Mulla Sadra's intention of motion has been the same as new opinions about movement which accept motion in non-material and he cannot deny that due to his basics.
