Abstract
Understanding the quality of immortality is one of the concerns of scholars of theology and philosophy. Without a doubt, analyzing the truth of the resurrection is based on the ontology of the truth of human existence. The present study, with an analytical approach, seeks to understand the quality of immortality based on the ontology of the truth of man. Atheists who consider man to be a purely elemental being deny the existence of resurrection, but monotheists who do not believe in the existence of a soul for man, consider resurrection to be only physical. A group who consider man to be composed of an elemental body and soul believed in a physical-spiritual resurrection, but they disagreed on the quality of physicality. Some argued for the objectivity of earthly elements, and some emphasized the sameness of elemental elements. By analyzing the truth of man as a being composed of an elemental body, a physical body, and a soul, the author has stated that the emergence of man is such that in the course of the movement of substance, the physical substance has reached the level of the human soul, and the combination of the physical substance with the soul is a union, and the main body of man is the same as the physical body, and this elemental body is the manifestation of that physical body, and is not truly part of the human being, hence the resurrection is spiritual-physical but not material and elemental. And then the aspects of the commonality and difference of Mukhtar's view with the opinion of Sadr al-Mutalahin Shirazi are discussed.
