Abstract

Cities are the essence of human civilization in the context of time, which today are the most important settlements of contemporary man. In this research, in line with this, the position of the city in Sadra's intellectual system has been explained and its role in reaching perfection has been studied. The city as a biological bed in this world is itself in the world of martyrdom. Man is created by the substantial motion of matter and in order to reach perfection he needs a biological bed in this world called the city. This brings to the fore the place of the city in Sadra's wisdom. This is also important in Arba'a travel. The city as a constrained being (according to the order of existence in Sadra's intellectual system) and a work of art created by the artist, provides a basis for understanding beauty. The presence of beauty in a space makes it possible to understand it. Understanding beauty also has different levels due to the simplicity of the concept of beauty. Understanding beauty moves the intellect. And this important premise creates a context for human perfection. Explaining the position of the city in Sadra's intellectual system can be considered as one of the important principles and achievements in this research. It could bring a new perspective on the study of citizenship rights and more specific issues in urban life in future studies.
