Artistic creativity in Islamic architecture from the perspective of Sadra's wisdom (Case study: Kashan AghabozorgMosque)

The subject of artistic creation has always been discussed by scholars and philosophers, so that most scholars has translated itas the creativity and new creation. they didn’t see the creation only as creating something; creation in their eyes is the act of aesthetic and artistic work. creativity was considered from two epistemological and ontological perspectives, and the concept of human creativity and artistic creativity in Transcendental wisdom is examined.Considering the fact that Mulla Sadra's philosophical doctrine was embodied in the works of his time, and in particular the architecture of that period, for a better understanding of creativity in architecture, Mulla Sadra's perspective is used. The findings show that from the perspective of Mulla Sadra, the words "creation" and "Innovation" are two key words and represent two different levels of creativity: “creatio ex materia” and “creatio ex nihilo”.accordingly, human creativity is considered in two general levels of "Conventional creativity" and "transcendental creativity".For the purposes of the research, the functional and physical aspects of AghabozorgMosque, as a quantitative geometric (constructive) structure, and the spiritual and semantic aspects (transcendental creativity) of it, are investigated.As a result of the manifestation of conventional creativity, the presentation of the body and matter appears in the form of works of art and architecture, and the architect needs a sensible perception force to accomplish this;And transcendental creativity embodied in the field of content and dependent on the level of the architect's soul, the richness of the treasury of meaning and the forces of intellectual perception in him.
