Mulla Sadra has become the dominant philosopher of the Islamic East and his approach to the nature of philosophy has been exceptionally influential.
This is the preliminary stage through which everyone must pass, but a philosopher, and a divine philosopher (hakim muta’allih) seeking theosis, must go beyond this stage in pursuit of the quest for reality. Musawi (1978), al-Jadid fi falsafat Sadr al-Din al-Shirazi, Baghdad: al-Dar al-‘arabiyya li-l-tiba‘a.
Existence is a simple concept that does not have analytically distinct part and hence is not amenable to definition. How can souls move from potentiality to actuality from what is not in them?

It is precisely because of mental existence that humans can conceive of entities that do not have any reference in extra-mental reality. It took some time for Mulla Sadra to become dominant.
After him came Anaxagoras and Anaximenes of Miletus. Avicenna criticises Porphyry for popularising the fallacy of union and change.
