Abstract
The Existentialism Reading of Mulla Sadra's Anthropology
This paper seeks to demonstrate how to extract the results of most fundamental principle of Transcendent Wisdom, i.e. the priority of existence, in anthropology, shows a new image regarding human identity. In this regard, the author, through analysis and explanation of the special viewpoints that put Mulla Sadra in a different position compared to his predecessors, insists on the fact that all of the charm and rationality of this philosopher’s anthropological views is owed to the role of existence priority; and essentialist reading of Mulla Sadra's anthropology is not attractive, not reasonable and not including something new and different. The result of this approach is introducing human beings as having a unique and graded identity that has two types of historical dynamics and substantial change caused by his theoretical and practical actions.
