Abstract
This article re-examines the relationship between human being, nature, and the concept of sanctity within Mulla Sadra's Transcendent Philosophy (al-Hikmah al-Muta'aliyah) and investigates the capacities of this philosophical system for founding a theory of global peace. Its central question is how the ontological principles of Sadrian philosophy—such as the principality of existence (asalat al-wujud), the gradation of existence (tashkik al-wujud), substantial motion (al-harakat al-jawhariyyah), and human being's divine vicegerency (khilafat Allah)—can lead to a theory of environmental ethics and peace studies. The research findings indicate that the Sadrian view of nature as the "Great Human Being" (al-insan al-kabir), the ontological perspective on the origin of conflicts, and the theory of "gradational unity of existence" provide a robust foundation for shaping "environmental spirituality" and "foundational peace." In this approach, peace is not a contractual matter but an existential truth and a sacred objectivity rooted in the inner unity of all levels of existence, and human beings, as God's vicegerents (khalifat Allah), bear the responsibility of actualizing it in the world.
