Description
Summary:This article discusses psychological actions and qualities and their mutual influence from the perspective of the philosophical system of Transcendent Philosophy. It reveals that the relationship between actions and qualities is bidirectional, and they mutually influence each other. Mulla Sadra considers the issuance of voluntary actions to be based on specific principles and believes that in humans, practical reason is the primary source of actions, while in animals, and imagination and fancy serve this function. Qualities are realized through the repetition of actions and practice, and after their realization, they play a role in the issuance of actions. In fact, actions and qualities each influence the creation of the other. Of course, actions and qualities have different types and degrees and, like the soul itself, are subject to intensity and weakness. The human soul at each level has its own specific actions and qualities and is capable of performing tasks according to its existential status, and through extensive practice, it internalizes ethics corresponding to that level of existence. Using an analytical-descriptive method, the essence, formation process, types of action and quality, and their mutual influence are discussed and explored. Certainly, attention to the human soul in terms of actions and qualities will highlight different aspects of the essence of the soul, especially since there has not been a direct study or article on this matter, thus making the discussion of this topic necessary.
