Abstract
The problem of good and evil is one of the profound issues in philosophy and theology that continued to draw the attention of thinkers and has been subjected to critical examination. Islamic philosophers particularly advocates of Sadra’s theosophy, among others, endeavored to deal with the problem rationally and justify the sufferings and evils of the world on well-established arguments. Depending on three bases of fundamental reality of being, privation of evil and the idea of the best possible world Mulla Sadra attempted to give response to the problem. Since the notion of privation of evil has serious critics among western philosophers as well as Muslim thinkers, the present article tries to respond the related objections and defend the nature of evil as privation by explaining the relation of good and evil with fundamental reality of being in the eyes of Sadra and such followers of transcendent philosophy as Hakim Sabzawari and Javadi Amoli providing sound arguments for privation of evil through new method and by consulting the main references such as Asfar and Masha`r and other works by Mulla Sadra.
