Mulla Sadra's Critique Of Apophatic Mysticism And Pantheism

Description

This book examines Mulla Sadra's critique of apophatic mysticism and pantheism, focusing on his philosophical approach to divine attributes and the nature of existence. It explores how Sadra navigates between negation and affirmation in theology, emphasizing his doctrine of the "gradation of being" (*tashkīk al-wujūd*) and the "fundamentality of existence" (*iṣālah al-wujūd*). The work highlights his unique synthesis of Shi'i theology, Islamic philosophy, and mysticism to address questions of divine simplicity, unity, and the relationship between God and creation.
