Mohammad Sadeq Ardestani
Muhammad Sadiq Ardestani (died 1721) was an Iranian Shia philosopher during the Safavid era.[1]
Life
[edit]Molla Muhammad Sadiq Ardestani, according to Henry Corbin, lived in the catastrophic period when Shah Sultan Hossein ruled out. His time coincided with siege of Isfahan by Afghans.[2]
Works
[edit]Ardestani has two primarily works in Islamic philosophy. His main work is Hikmah sadiqiya (the author's personal philosophy).[3] This book has written by a pupil of Ardestani named Mulla Hamzah Gilani. He had also glossary on The Book of Healing and some commentaries on Quran surahs.
Philosophical views
[edit]Aredestani, like Mullā Ṣadrā, criticized Avicenna and Avicennan's views. He, following Mullā Ṣadrā, believed that the faculty of imagination is immaterial.[4] According to Henry Corbin, Ardestani had difficulties explaining the interconnection the universal soul with the body. Ardestani tried to solve the problem with the concept of epiphany or tajalli.[5]
