Philosophical justification of revelation in the view of Mulla Sadra

  Molla Sadra has viewed revelation, vahy, to be the connection and unity of the Prophet’s spirit with intellectual and fantastic world. To establish such a state, one should cut off any attention from low desires and let wisdom govern over his worldly tendencies. In such a state intellectual and fantastic faculties find appropriate opportunity to attain their own perfections, namely to observe fantastic and intellectual worlds. To justify the problem, Molla Sadra has used his philosophical principles including: 1- the unity of intellect, the agent of intellection and the object of intellection,         2- existential orders of intellect, fantasy and sensation. In this way, he has removed the objections against Peripatetic view. Key words: unity, ascending, human faculties, perfection, messenger, revelation.
