Al-Hikmat al-mutaaliya fi l-asfar al-aqliyya al-arbaa (book)

The Journey Through the Four Intellectual Realms

The title itself refers to the “Four Main Journeys” or Asfar, which delineate distinct realms of human understanding. Each journey represents a metamorphosis of the intellect, guiding the seeker through physical, psychological, and metaphysical domains. This structure serves as a roadmap, navigating the tumultuous waters of existence toward the serene shores of divine truth.

The initial journey introduces the epistemological foundations of human experience, showcasing the significance of sensory perception. Mulla Sadra eloquently articulates the tenets of knowledge acquisition, highlighting the interplay between the external world and internal cognition. The reader is beckoned to engage with their surroundings, which serves as the catalyst for deeper introspection and self-awareness.
