Asjar 8:345-46 Thus, Sadra, motivated by his religious reflections and insights, rigorously Motion (or change)1 is a self-evident phenomenon that we experience in our¬ selves and in natural things around us. ” Now, although this is a self-evident phenomenon, the proper understanding of its mechanism is not as evident as it appears. This is because understanding the mechanism of motion involves knowing to what extent motion affects the reality of the object. Does motion bring forth a substantial change that affects and transforms things’ realities from one sort to another, or does it affect only things’ properties or characteristics, whereas their realities remain stable?
8 Sadra did not concern himself with the logical problems of the definition of motion because for him the problem was not in the meaning of the concept of motion. Conceptually, the definitions of both Aristotle and Avicenna say something about motion; nevertheless, their definitions describe the process from the point of view of an external observer who would witness motion only after it has already occurred. According to Sadra, this reflection tells us nothing about the mechanism of motion, which is the real issue that we must \ r 56 Substantial motion investigate in order to understand motion.
He borrowed this idea from the Platonic tradition and defended it by articulating an argument that is based on the nature of self-knowledge. Avicenna maintained that the human soul is a separate substance because human beings have the capacity of self-knowledge without the intermediary of the senses. He explained this idea as follows: since to perceive something is to encompass its essence, when we perceive ourselves we must have encompassed the essences of ourselves. Now, this is either due to the presence of our essences to ourselves without a medium, or it is in virtue of an image that is identical to ourselves.
