  One of the most comprehensive studies in the Sadrian philosophical system pertains to the field of anthropology. Moreover, one of the manifestations of the comprehensiveness of this discussion is dealing with the nature and place of the perfect Man in the order of being and its referents and worldly and other-worldly functions, which have been explored in several studies. However, what they have all neglected is the attention to the reasons of the specific nature of this station and its consequences in this school of philosophy. It seems that the attention to this point can grant more depth to anthropological discussions in the Transcendent Philosophy and Islamic philosophy. Accordingly, this study aims to provide an analytic account of the reason for the uniqueness of this station in Mullā Ṣadrā’s works. Here, while analyzing the factors affecting the emergence and perfection of human beings through difference of souls within the framework of apriori and aposteriori multiplicity, the authors explain the restriction of this station to quite a few people. The findings of this study indicate that the station of the perfect Man can be attained through the prophet’s invitation, obligation, courtesy, etc. Nevertheless, developing the highest levels of this station is not possible for all, which justifies the quality of the voluntary perfection of the Infallible Imāms (‘a) and the prophets (ṣ).

  In this research, by examining the views of Avicenna and Mulla Sadra, the role of action in the completion of theoretical reason, in two major schools of Islamic philosophy, namely Hikmat al-Masha and al-Taaliyyah, has been considered. The importance of this issue is due to the explanation of the relationship between science and practice in the opinions of these two schools and the evolution of this discussion from the Peripatetic school to the transcendental wisdom. This is important among the metaphysical and moral issues related to the gap between opinion and action. The purpose of the research is to examine the relationship between practical reason - such as ethics and Sharia - and human worldly happiness and its alignment with the perfection of theoretical reason. The results of the research show that according to Ibn Sina, the perfection of the human intellect from the beastly to the useful is through the active intellect, but after the human intellect is actualized, it needs actions in order to connect to a higher intensity and level, through which it is freed from material and physical affairs. And it can be understood and united with general forms, which is the completion of theoretical reason. This theory in Mulla Sadra's opinion, since it considers the soul as the physicality of occurrence, it is also valid in the levels of potential intellect to the actual, that is, there is a two-way relationship between opinion and action in the levels of the soul in the physical, exemplary and rational world. The explanation of Avicenna's and Mulla Sadra's opinions in the field of Islamic philosophy shows the evolution and approach of this theory more clearly, which is analyzed in this research based on the method of dialogue between their opinions.
