ibn sina, suhrawardi and mulla sadra on immortality of human soul after death
Abstract
one of the issues discussed in details in philosophy is the end of humanity after death (according to the tendency of immortality) and the survival of the human population or accepting death and invalidity with destruction of the body. philosophers such as ibn sina, suhrawardi and mulla sadra explain the stages and types of souls after death, and the immortality of them. ibn sina after al-farabi and prior to the other muslim philosophers divide the souls after death. suhrawardi and mulla sadra have similar view of ibn sina's analysis, although there are slight differences in terms with him. all three philosophers unit the survival and perpetuation of the complete population and as they say, intellects, particularly the active intellect have direct or indirect role in souls. but, ibn sina relies on the celestial bodies about imperfect people, and suhrawardi suggests their presence in the world of outstanding features, mulla sadra suggests their presence in the imaginary.
