an analysis of relation between logos and scripture in sadraean wisdom

mulla sadra treated logos (kalam) as something that expresses the inside of the speaker, and explained that divine logos includes god’s creatures and god's action, therefore applying the word and logos to the universe is true, and according to the definition, god is speaker. mulla sadra explains the divine logos and command in three steps: superior logos i.e. the world of amr, middle logos i.e. the world of soul, and the inferior logos is the revelation or the world of legislation. but from sadraean point of view, one can consider every word as a book, and every book as a word; so writing of god consists of three steps. in each step, god is the speaker and at the same time is the writer. another point is the difference between the word and the scripture. they are two different sides of one coin .the word is about the necessity and returns to creator and the book refers to possibility and then to creatures. these two have congruency and symbolic aspects, origin and end of the word and book is the world of intellect.
