Abstract

Though Greek scholars must be considered as the first thinkers who describe the ultimate perfection of man in a philosophical language but Hakim Sadra Shirazi is one of the most prominent thinkers who have established a deep link between man's perfection and his cognition in a different, less historical analysis, In the same way that through the realization of knowledge in man, his ultimate perfection will also be realized. In this research, by dividing the powers of man into theoretical and practical reason and creating a direct relation between human perfection and the levels of his intellect, especially theoretical reason, Sadra's most important attempt to analyze perfection and how it is realized in humans is written in a descriptive analytical manner. The main question of research is what relationship is there between human perfection and his cognitive ability? And the hypothesis of the paper is that by dividing human forces into theoretical and practical reason and creating unity between man's perfection and his level of intellect, especially theoretical reason, the deep relation of perfection and science in man is revealed. The approach of this research is a descriptive analytical approach.
