تاملي در انديشه سياسي ملاصدرا

A Consideration on Mulla Sadra’s Political Thought

سياست مدن، همواره از مباحث جدي فلاسفه بوده است و آنان پابه‌پاي انبيا، به اين انديشه توجه كرده‌اند. بايد خاطرنشان كرد كه انبيا به صورت نظري و عملي، و فلاسفه به صورت نظري به اين مسيله پرداخته‌اند. از ميان فلاسفه يونان، فيلسوفان پيش از سقراط به مسيله سياست توجه داشته و افلاطون و ارسطو، بسياري از آثار خود را به اين بحث اختصاص داده‌اند. در فلسفه اسلامي نيز فارابي لقب «فيلسوف سياست» را يافته است، گو ابن سينا هم بخشي از رساله خود را به سياست مدن اختصاص داده است. فلاسفه ديگر همچون ملاصدرا، پس از اين دو، نكته‌اي جديد را در اين باره نيفزوده‌اند و مي‌توان گفت كه تنها به تفصيل و بسط مباحث مجمل‌ِ فارابي و ابن سينا همت گماشته‌اند.

Civil politics has been always a serious issue for the philosophers issue and they have had a serious consideration to this thought following the prophets step by step. It should be noted that it has been considered by the prophets both in practice and theory and by philosophers just in theory. Among Greek philosophers, Plato and Aristotle have dedicated many of his works to the political thought. Al-Farabi has gained the title of “the philosopher of politic” in Islamic philosophy, too. It seems that Avicenna has dedicated a part of his treatise to the civil politics. And other philosophers, after al-Farabi and Ibn Sina, such as Mulla Sadra have added nothing new to it. In other words, philosophers such as Mulla Sadra have attempted just to develop the synopsis discussions of al-Farabi and Ibn Sina.
