Hosseini's Post-Mulla Sadra Existential Process Theology: An Introduction


Listen Later

Dr Hosseini's work presents an Existential Process Theory inspired by the Islamic philosophy of Mulla Sadra, seeking to answer the profound question: "Why is there existence instead of nothing?" Drawing partly on the cosmological challenge raised by physicist Paul Davies, who notes that science cannot explain the origin of physical laws outside of space and time, Hosseini proposes a "Post-Mulla Sadra Existential Process Theory." This theory posits that if God is synonymous with existence, and existence is in a state of dynamic process or evolution, then God must also be evolving toward Absolute Consciousness at a future point called the Singularity. This Absolute Consciousness, or Haqiqat (Truth), then transcends time and space, exerting a guiding influence on the developing reality (Vaqe'iat), emphasising that human moral action is essential for the universe’s evolution toward absolute good.
