چکیده:
. One of the challenges faced by philosophers throughout history of philosophical thoughts, has always been and is to find an adequate answer to the question of quiddity and existence of time and space. Thus, the present study aims to elaborate on the question of space and time in Mulla Sadra’s philosophy and its relationship with outcomes of modern physics. The study also intends to conduct an analytical comparison between these two views and clarify newer aspects of this complicated and vague question. According to principles of his thought system in his ontology and particularly his theory of substantial motion, Mulla Sadra’s view toward time has a closer concordance with findings of modern physicists like Albert Einstein. One of the most noticeable achievements of the present paper, considering ontological view of Mulla Sadra toward time, is to reach a comprehensive and vast view of the question of space and time covering space-time approach of theory of relativity and having the common issue of time in mind, develops an image of unity and connectivity of the world of nature with the four dimensions. The present study uses a documentary analysis research and uses library resources. The prominent works of Mulla Sadra and Einstein’ works on the Theory of Relativity were the main sources for this study. It is hoped that this view not only reveals further philosophical aspects of the issue of time but also help uncover newer approaches for physicists.

The Fourth Dimension of the Natural World in Sadraean Wisdom and Einstein's Relativity Sepideh Razi Jafar Shanazari ** Afshin Shafiee*** Abstract One of the concerns of philosophers throughout the history of philosophical thought has been and remains answering the question of the nature and essence of time and space.
It is hoped that the present research, which ultimately by providing a model aims to prove the existence of a four-dimensional, connected, and continuous universe that is always in a state of flux and change, can provide the ground for further investigations towards a better and more complete recognition of the natural world, both in philosophy and in modern physics.
3. Examining the dimensions of the natural world from the perspective of Transcendent Wisdom If we want to present the discussion of philosophers regarding space and time and explain their views, it requires writing extensive research to be able to examine and evaluate this issue accurately and minutely.
4. The role of time in the world as the fourth dimension As was mentioned, Einstein's theory of general relativity required a curved universe to describe the physical world, and this very issue led to the need to formulate precise equations for working with curved space and as a result, a new window is opened towards scientists of various fields and brings about important changes in their intellectual principles.
