Abstract

Within transcendental wisdom, the extreme end for human gradational evolution is attaining the origin of existence. While attached to material body, the human soul, on the basis of substantial gradational motion (gradual change from potentiality into actuality), evolves in the form of movement in the substance. Mulla Sadra believes that as soon as Man transfers from sensible world into intelligible world, motion in the existential substance of Man in non-material worlds is needless of force and other necessities of substantial movement. Utilizing a descriptive-analytical method, the current research is an attempt to elaborate on a new approach within substantial motion and the quality of human evolution in the afterworld genesis. This kind of motion originates from life and existence. This means that creatures in their existence possess life, motion and tendency toward a limitless perfection. Therefore, it is concluded that evolution, transformation and change occur in all worlds.
