Comparative Analysis of the Principle of Freedom and Rationality and Their Educational Implications from the Perspective of Mulla Sadra

The aim of the present study is to critically and comparatively examine the principles of freedom and rationality and their educational implications from the perspective of Mulla Sadra in order to provide a model. The scope of the study includes books, articles, and research works that have explored the comparative analysis of the principle of freedom and rationality and their educational implications from Mulla Sadra's viewpoint, totaling 130 volumes. The data collection tools consisted of documentation and note-taking from credible sources, articles, and documents, conducted through a library-based or documentary method. The findings indicated that previous studies conducted by other researchers were to some extent consistent with the results obtained in this research. Following the examination and study of theoretical foundations, research background, and documentation in relation to articles and scholars, the findings section identified three dimensions, twelve components, and thirty-six indicators. The dimension of rationality consists of four components (ethics, intellectual faculties, practical reason, and theoretical reason); the dimension of freedom includes four components (individual freedom, spiritual freedom, freedom of speech and writing, and freedom of thought); and the dimension of dignity comprises four components (wisdom, human perfection, connection with God, and understanding of truths).
