Abstract

According to Agha Ali Mudarris Zinoozi human soul is a single reality with (different) stages that include various levels of existence. At its culmination, rational soul is absolutely simple, singular and unconditional. It contains all pluralities. At its lower stage, this simple and absolute soul is plural and conditional. It is very interesting to note that human soul is, in its longitudinal form, one, plural, simple, composite, brief, detailed, absolute and conditional. The sage from Tehran holds that human soul gets united with its goal i.e. the universal soul through substantial movement. It thus comes to gain immediate knowledge about its inner layers, which he terms as 'understanding understanding'. This article studies his philosophical psychology, soul's intuitive and the relation between understanding soul and understanding Lord.
