The book explains SadrÄâs theory of the nature of afterlife. It presents SadrÄâs philosophical premises concerning the nature of human beings and their physical and psychological developments through which SadrÄ shows how the afterlife is intimately connected to the nature of the human being and how it is a natural stage of the evolution of each individual in which a corporeal body has no role. Presenting MullÄ SadrÄ in a new light the aim of this book is to investigate SadrÄâs metaphysical principles of the Return (al-maâÄd) that have been either partially presented or misunderstood in most of the existing secondary literature. Focusing on SadrÄâs philosophical works specifically the AsfÄr and his commentary on the Quran this study demonstrates how SadrÄ is a philosopher able to carry the premises of the previous philosophical theories to radically different conclusions. MullÄ SadrÄ and Eschatology demonstrates the manner in which SadrÄ explains the Return as presented in the Quran and Hadith but also shows how he presents the Return as a natural stage of the evolution of human beings in which a corporeal body has no role. Thus SadrÄ offers a plausible philosophical explanation to the problem of bodily resurrection that had occupied Muslim philosophers for centuries. Explaining MullÄ SadrÄ âs distinctive method of doing philosophy this book will be of interest to students and scholars of Islamic Philosophy Religion and Islamic Studies more broadly. .
