Politics and Government in the Transcendent Philosophy

Manʹs salvation is the of the Transcendent Philosophy, and the key to this happiness is the entelechy of manʹs rational soul in the light of theoretical philosophy and general guidelines of practical philosophy attained through the mystic journey and the trans-substantial motion. The first basic question in this regard targets the place and role of politics and government in Sadrian practical wisdom. This question concerns both their station, i.e., existence, and their functions and effects in the Transcendent Philosophy. The second basic question concerns the necessity of Utopia. Without political organization and the establishment of Utopia, politics and government will not have any certain effect and, instead of influencing social life, will remain useless and unproductive alongside individual life. The third basic question concerns the role of leadership and management in Utopia and the development, evolution, and transcendence of society. The fourth fundamental question is related to religiousness and politics in Utopia. On the one hand, man is at the center of politics and a part of it, and, on the other, religiousness is the cause of manʹs existence. Is this relation a philosophical and ontological one or a governmental and accidental one? In Mulla Sadraʹs practical wisdom, law has a quiddative role. Without law Utopia cannot be realized. Nevertheless, the question is which law and honor consolidate the pillars of Utopia and are the causes of its continuity. The focus of this paper is on the ʹ^transcendent law" upon which Utopia is based. Likewise, Sadrian politics and government and the Transcendent Philosophy will not attain perfection without transcendent law. The secret of the Sadrian Utopia is this law, and, perhaps, in the light of clarifying the transcendent law and its role in practical wisdom and Sadrian politics and government, a ray illuminates the horizon and the outlook of future. The last basic question in this regard concerns the role of transcendent politics, government, and practical philosophy in manʹs future government and politics. Will the people of the future need Mulla Sadraʹs philosophy and political thought? Will future politics and governments search for the elements of Mulla Sadraʹs practical wisdom? The Utopia of the Transcendent Philosophy is related to the future, and we can discuss it following a futuristic view and approach.
