Mulla Sadra and his Gnostic Toughts

Mulla Sadra owes a great debt to gnostics and suns in developing his gnostic thoughts, as well as his other thoughts. Interestingly enough, he has not paid equal attention to all gnostic and sufis sects; rather, he has followed a specific method to select some of their ideas. This method is, of course, in line with his own philosophy and can be clearly traced in his books and treatises. In fact, his major aim is to disentangle the complexities of gnostic thought in his own time.
