One of the famous philosophical systems in the Islamic world is Molla Sadra’s transcendent philosophy. Through reconciling the peripatetic, Illuminist and mystical, intellectual currents, he drew up anew scheme and anew discourse in the sphere of thought. Methodology: Transcendent philosophy has several bases on which some problems are unraveled. One of the difficult problems of human thought is constancy or alteration of the substance of the soul; the various views are expressed about this; some believe to its being constant and bring several arguments. Sadra lays the foundations of new discourse in this field. He believes that the soul is in the first instance material and reaches gradually an incorporeality. Results: In this article we have read first the characteristics of transcendent philosophy and then we have a glance to its anthropological foundations especially the problem of substantial movement. Conclusion: Subsequently we have stated Sadra’s arguments in proving the movement in the soul substance and at the end it has been evaluated and criticized some arguments.References
