Abstract

Knowing the truth of the material body in transcendent wisdom requires knowing the soul and consequently leading to the knowledge of the soul; But despite its importance, it has been dealt with sporadically and briefly in the works of philosophers. The present article seeks to examine in detail the truth of the material body according to the specific principles of Sadr al-Muta'allehin. According to the three ontological principles in transcendent wisdom, namely the originality of existence, skepticism, intensive movement, and another principle in Sadra's psychology, namely, "the soul in the unity of all forces," the existence of a human unit begins its journey from elemental matter with essential motion. It gradually reaches abstraction through the degrees of existence. This study, while examining in detail the course of matter from the abstract, explains the meaning of the material-singleness of the soul and removes two important doubts in this field, and in the end reaches the conclusion that the material dignity of the soul is combined with its abstract status. Is and the truth of the body, which is the emergence and manifestation of the powers and perfections of the soul in the form of quantitative forms; It is materially different from the soul.
