Abstract
Purpose: The purpose of this study is to compare cosmic wisdom from the
perspective of Hegel and Mulla Sadra.
Materials and methods: The research method in this research is
descriptive-analytical and its purpose is applied. Its implementation was
done by documentary method and content analysis. The tools for collecting
information were receipts and checklists. In order to collect data, sources
related to Mulla Sadra's philosophy, Hegel's philosophy and cosmic
wisdom, such as books, articles, theses and digital texts, were used. And
then, after collecting the relevant information from different sources, it has
been analyzed in a descriptive and analytical way.
Findings: Based on the findings of the research, it can be said that
intelligence is usually considered one of the definite characteristics of
human nature and is closely related to activities specific to humans, such
as: philosophy, science, language. Sometimes the terms rationality or
wisdom are used to refer to reason. The cosmic wisdom that is being
discussed here is the universal wisdom or total wisdom. Cosmic wisdom in
Hegel's thought is the concept of (absolute spirit), (absolute intellect),
(absolute mind), (universal intellect), and (divine intellect, the original
intellect of consciousness). Microcosm in Mulla Sadra's thought is the
same concept (speaking soul, active intellect, general intellect, absolute
intellect).
Conclusion: Hegel considers cosmic wisdom in understanding and
discovering the reason or direction of reasonableness. He continues this
path to reach the cause of the world, because no prior cause can be found
for it, but Mullah Sadra sees cosmic wisdom in passing through the
monstrous intellect and He considers wisdom as wisdom and wisdom as
useful, and finally, the acquisition and understanding of active intellect.
Mulla Sadra believed in the originality of existence and Hagel believed in
the originality of the soul, that the highest level of existence in Mulla
Sadra's view is the absolute existence and the absolute existence, which is
the same as the absolute soul in terms of meaning. Both believed in the
movement of degrees. Hegel considers the world to be God's thought and
cosmic wisdom, and the soul in Hegel's philosophy remains the soul in
Mulla Sadra's thought. Hegel also deals with the issue of freedom and the
relationship between politics and the state, but Mulla Sadra has given
special importance to the relationship between the soul and the cosmic
wisdom. Hegel considers freedom dependent on obeying the laws of
politics, but Mulla Sadra interprets freedom as reaching active reason. The
first role and task of the cosmic wisdom is the creation of the soul. The
second task and role of the active mind is in the area of the ego, especially
the role of the active mind in the rationalization and implementation of the
stages of the theoretical mind. The third role of cosmic wisdom is the role
that it has in the issue of prophecy and revelation. From the point of view
of Mulla Sadra, reason is one of the pillars of prophecy and revelation to
the extent that it accepts the title of the king of revelation. From the point
of view of Mulla Sadra, the cosmic wisdom regulates the communication
of the speaking soul with the unseen world in sleep or wakefulness.
