مبادي فهم حكمت سياسي ملّاصدرا

The Principles of Understanding Molla Sadraʹʹ Political Theosophy

همان‏گونه كه ملّاصدرا يك فيلسوف متبحر است، يك انديشمند سياسي نيز هست؛ گرچه پذيرفتن حكمت سياسي وي، مبتني بر اصول موضوعه‏اي است كه نگارنده از آن به «مبادي» تعبير مي‏كند. اين مقاله با روش تحليلي، و با هدف تبيين مبادي روشي و محتوايي كه ملّاصدرا براي بيان حكمت سياسي خود بدان تمسك جسته است، درصدد است تا با بررسي اين مبادي، منشا خطاي بسياري از منكران حكمت سياسي وي را به صورت روشن بيان كند. حاصل اينكه، در زمان ملّاصدرا، به خاطر شرايط خاص حاكم برآن زمان، شاهد ركود انديشه سياسي هستيم نه زوال آن، و ملّاصدرا يك انديشمند سياسي با ويژگي‏هاي متفاوتي است كه در مباني و نوع انديشه سياسي خود و روش بيان نظريات سياسي، به انديشمندان سياسي ديگر مشابهتي ندارد. همين تفاوت باعث شده است كه براي دست يافتن به انديشه سياسي وي راهي بجز فهم، و پذيرش مبادي روشي و محتوايي ملّاصدرا نداشته باشيم.

Molla Sadra is not only an immensely erudite philosopher but also a political thinker, although accepting his political theosophy depends on postulates which the author refers to as "principles". The present paper tries to pinpoint the origin of the mistake committed by a number of thinkers who deny his political theosophy. Using an analytical method, the author expounds the methodological and substantive principles adopted by Molla Sadra in order to to explain his political theosophy. The research findings show that, due to particular conditions governing Molla Sadraʹs time, stagnancy rather than decline in political thought was a distinctive feature of his time. Mulla Sadra is political thinker with different characteristics whose political thought, principles and way of expressing political theories were unlike those of other political thinkers. This difference makes the acquaintance with his political thought impossible without understanding and accepting his methodological and substantive principles.
