Abstract

In this article, some of the educational consequences of the intense substantive movement of the human soul according to the view of Sadr al-Mutalahin are explained. For this purpose, we first briefly discuss the basics of the discussion and then, based on these basics, education and its types are analyzed based on the substantive movement of the human soul to determine the relationship between education and substantive movement, and finally, the educational consequences of the substantive movement of the human soul are discussed. This research is conducted in the information gathering stage, library, and in the detailed stage, based on conceptual and inferential analysis of Sadr's texts. The findings of this research include: Islamic education in the context of seeking superior balance by destroying previous balances, the instrumental identity of having apparent reforms in true education and reforming the cognitive essence of man, the root of treating his educational problems. At the heart of some of these goals, a philosophical analysis of important and novel topics from the perspective of Sadra'i psychology is addressed, such as the difference between forced and happiness-creating education and the role of human voluntary action in it, the relationship between education and habit, different levels of learning, the process of improving human cognitive essence through deepening superficial learning, and the role of human action in this process.
