The Relation between Virtues of Christian Theology and Philosophy in the Transcendent Philosophy of Mullā Ṣadrā

Abstract:   (585 Views)
Using a descriptive-analytical method, this article investigates the relationship between philosophical and theological virtues in the transcendent philosophy developed by Mullā Ṣadrā. Christian theorists added three theological virtues: (1) faith, (2) love and (3) hope to the list of the four main virtues of philosophers, i.e. (1) wisdom, (2) courage, (3) moderation (chastity) and (4) justice. Mullā Ṣadrā contends that faith is the main and ultimate virtue and the famous four virtues are the path and means that can provide the basis for knowledge and closeness to God. The virtue of faith may be regarded as a sort of knowledge and its highest level is certainty; but faith that is strengthened in the heart is accompanied by love and sincerity. Accordingly, the virtue of faith leads the faithful to the virtue of love within the scope of emotions, and to the virtue of hope (trust, surrender, and finally attachment exclusively to God) within the scope of will. Hence, explaining the superior and guiding role of the virtue of faith, Mullā Ṣadrā separates himself from the Greek philosophers and their advocates.
Keywords: Philosophical virtues, theological virtues, transcendent philosophy, Mullā Ṣadrā.
