Implications of the Divine Ethics … S. Ibrahim & M.M. Gorjian Arabi (93
- The second meaning of
copulative existence is a
technical term used in
transcendent wisdom for
other than the Almighty
Exalted be He; And the
meaning of this is that the
effect is connected to its
superfluous cause, the
connector. Rather, it is a
sheer relationship that has
no independent status.
Therefore, the existence of
an effect, in itself, is the
sheer relationship of its
complete efficient cause,
and its relation to its
superfluous cause is an
illuminative relation which
is towards the Self-
subsisting One, and that is
the existence of its cause.
(Sadr ad-Din Shirazi, 1981;
Hasanzadeh Amoli, 1999)
This interpretation and
meaning of the reality of
effect is one of the
initiatives of Mulla Sadra
which is the opposite of
true independent existence
or the essence of the
Almighty. The meaning of
copulative existence in this
research is of this second
meaning.
2. Divine Ethics
Divine ethics which is the
most basic and important
relationship of man, is the
type of ethical issue that
expresses the relationship
between man and God; The
fact that the realization of the
reality of man is nothing but
poverty and sheer dependency,
and it is necessary that man
needs the emanations of
divine independent existence
from moment to moment.
On the other hand, the
divine ethics that is discussed
in Mulla Sadra's philosophy,
is the same divine ethics.
