Abstract

Man is a free being who has the ability to transcend to the highest levels of perfection. Anthropologists have different views on the "basic needs and prerequisites for the perfection of the human soul." The "objective of the research" is to express the basic needs and prerequisites for the perfection of the human soul and the prerequisites for achieving perfection from the perspectives of Mulla Sadra and Maslow, and to compare the views of these two thinkers. The research method is analytical and comparative. According to the research findings, according to Maslow's view, human needs are divided into two categories of deficiency needs, such as the need for food, and existential needs, such as the search for truth, and there is a kind of longitudinal order between human needs. According to Sadra's thinking, in order to achieve his true perfection, man must, on the one hand, satisfy the needs of the lower levels of the soul, the vegetable and animal souls; on the other hand, given the originality of the spiritual dimension, the most basic needs are related to his spiritual dimension. In order to move in the most basic levels of his own transcendence, man must recognize and satisfy the basic needs of his human soul. The prerequisites for human perfection at the level of the human soul are divided into six categories: 1) Attaining divine knowledge; 2) Performing transcendental actions; 3) Love and passion; 4) Faith; 5) A guide for the journey; 6) God's help and active intellect.
