Abstract

The human being, having two kinds of perfection-seeking changes including those of nature and will, is a dynamic essence moving toward its own end. On the former as viewed by Sadr al-Muta`llihin, human soul`s tendency toward perfection begins from first matter and form and leads to the perfection of forms. In the sense that the physical form moves in its essence and take the elementary form, mineral form, plant from, animal form, human form and malakuti form, one after another. The latter happens through the functions of practical reason and theoretical reason. The process of the forms` changes as viewed by Sadra is in agreement with the verses and traditions and referred to by the holy Quran
