Abstract
The purpose of this article is to formulate the social dimension of gender based on the rules of transcendental wisdom. The definition of the concept of gender based on Islamic principles is fundamentally incompatible with gender as a construction. On the other hand, gender cannot be reduced only to the physical and natural differences of the two sexes and deny its social aspect. The theory of "acquired human" based on the agency of free will in human, using the humanistic capacities of transcendental wisdom, can show the social aspect of gender with a philosophical approach.
Based on the principles of transcendental wisdom, rules can be reached that refer to the social dimension of human existence. This is achieved by re-reading Mulla Sadra's texts with the aim of searching for social references in his anthropology. For this purpose, Mulla Sadra's works were included in the relevant keywords to be studied and researched, and the result of this search is to reach propositions, paragraphs, and chapters that can be a source for analyzing the social aspect of man. After this stage with the exploratory method, the findings were analyzed with the analytical method.
Mulla Sadra, by proposing the principle of substantial movement in human identity, provided the way to define human identity as an undetermined and changing thing, while being stable. The long-range of this principle is to the extent that it transforms a human being from a last-species type to an average type and considers the acquisitions of each soul as the factor in shaping its latest form. These acquisitions, which are both knowledge and practice, enter the human identity and form the individual's essence. Therefore, the fixed aspect of human identity is only as a basis and foundation for a variable, diverse and different building that is formulated and built by human will, perception, action and behavior. The same equation can be applied to male and female gender identity in such a way that regardless of the aspect of stability of sex, a part of male and female identity, which includes gender, is defined and promoted by individual and social factors. On the other hand, some social elements such as education, which in the view of Mulla Sadra and philosophers, is an essential element for the perfection of the soul and the formation of human identity, shows that the education is necessary in human progress, and the deprivation of education, which the two sexes differ about They are serious, historical and multi-dimensional plays a fundamental role in a person's identity, including his gender identity. The result of the deprivation of education in one gender in historical periods can not only define the identity of women, but it definitely defines women's identity in a different way, which is the target of low and inferior attributes and judgments. Also, the effectiveness of the teaching element in the aspect of the teaching content is also decisive and maybe it is due to the awareness of the influence of education in shaping gender identity that different contents for the education of women and men have been proposed scientifically in the history of science.
Also, the theory of acquired human is related to philosophical behaviorism. Mulla Sadra defines actions as natural and unnatural, that most human behaviors are his unnatural behaviors that are formed under the influence of individual or social will. Behavior in the human soul has a reciprocal role in the sense that the knowledge and will of the soul is the cause of the behavior, and then the behavior enters the human identity as a human form, which itself becomes the source of other behaviors or views.
In this way, the roles and behaviors of women and men in their lives are both the result of their identity, as well as those are creators of their identity. Therefore, an important part of gender, which is dedicated to the roles and behaviors of women and men, is firstly created by women and men themselves, and secondly, it creates women and men. All that has been said, although it explains the variable and social dimension of the concept of gender under the principles of the theory of acquired human, but Mulla Sadra's theories indicate a kind of valuation of acquisitions, according to higher value systems such as religion and nature, and also define the scope of changes to some extent
