Abstract
Mulla Sadra, by proposing the idea of the multiplicity of human types, believes that human nature changes at every moment. Pluralism, because it returns the differences to the nature of humans, can mean the complete separation of the enlightened beings of Shafi'in, such as the Ahl al-Bayt, peace be upon them, from ordinary people who have inferior types. Hence, intercession by this theory seems out of reach. The issue is how intercession will be meaningful and true under this theory and according to the principles of transcendental wisdom. The findings of the research show that intercession can be depicted in accordance with Mulla Sadra's views in an existential and developmental manner and with criteria for generalization or allocation to different types of human beings, explained and in accordance with Mulla Sadra's existential philosophy. The following article, with descriptive-analytical method and referring to Mullah Sadra's works, tries to show Mullah Sadra's interpretation of how it is possible to realize intercession. In this version, Shafi, according to Mashfu'la's ability, creates enthusiasm and new knowledge of Mashfu'la, and as a result, promotes his existence and removes his torment or raises his level of existence. Realization of intercession in the hereafter or its impossibility for some people is completely an existential and non-credible matter and attributed to the homogeneity of human types with intercessors or their non-existence in this existential rank.
