The Case of Mullā Ṣadrā
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 14 May 2020
The ninth chapter examines Mullā Ṣadrā’s account of causality and freedom. It is argued that Ṣadrā’s rich metaphysical treatment of the concept of existence establishes causal efficacy and freedom of entities through the expansion of and participation in existence. The chapter also includes a discussion of the significance of the concept of essence in Ṣadrā’s metaphysics and how this concept is central to his notion of freedom in the created order.
