Epistemological issues in architecture are related to the movement of people in space. According to the philosophical concept of movement and MullāṢadrā's theory of substantial motion, perception refers to people's gradual perception of architectural spaces. Deep understanding of mosque-school spaces is not possible without movement. In order to achieve a deep understanding of these spaces, the observer must move in the space, and after experiencing physical and mental movements, he should promotes his perception level. The question of this research in the form of a case study is that, considering the variety of accesses in the Agha Bozor Mosque-School of Kashan; How does movement promote perception from the material level to the spiritual level? This research is descriptive-analytical and case study, and its results show that, despite the existence of separate paths (for prayer and educational performance) in the spaces of the mosque-school, the observer experiences three orders of movement (visual, physical and mental) by moving in each of these paths; in the form of four pillars in the mosque and three pillars in the school; It guides the observer's perception (in line with MullāṢadrā's perceptual hierarchy) from the sensory level to the imagination, and then to the intellectual level.

Abstract
In divine schools and religious systems, spirituality has always had effective connection with politics. Because of their misunderstanding of these two categories, some historical trends, on the opposite side, have denied the proper and effective relationship between them. To answer to this important question that ‘how the connection between spirituality and politics is realized?’, this paper by methods and data originated in transcendental wisdom, has attempted to provide a proper understanding of the categories of ‘spirituality’ and ‘religious politics’, and then offer a clear and reasonable explanation of the connection between them.
The results of this paper indicate that ‘human spiritual evolution’ is a conscious substantial movement that promotes man to the highest perfections of being, and this fact is realized only through the mediation of man’s conventional actions and voluntary commitments. On the other hand, politics is among the most important parts of human conventional life, its function affects the actions of others to achieve the general interests of community, and this, of course, is not realized without the guidance of religion, as a set of conventional doctrines based on spiritual truths.

This study proposes the theory of substantial motion mainly to explore the concept of polysemy and pluralism in the semantics of source text and translation. There exists a relation between Mulla Sadra’s theory of substantial motion, which speaks of ontology, and translation, which is about epistemology and semantics. When it comes to the ‘authorial intent’, which is of course something behind or even beyond the words of the text per se, we can speak of substantial motion in translation and the existence of an essence and some ontological levels called substances in the text. To move from one ontological level to another can be linked to the concepts of time and motion. Translation as a process can be also linked to a gradual state of development which discloses such ontological levels in the target language and is by itself a motion as a process.

This study aims to examine the applicability of Mulla Sadra’s theory of Substantial Motion in translation. To begin with, it starts with the concept of motion as the move from a state of potency into act and investigates time and motion in the tripartite categories of text, translator, and the process of translation. With a view to the theory of Substantial Motion, this study offers a definition for the source text which involves the concepts of ‘essence’, ‘substance’, and ‘motion’, by which it explores the semantics of the source text and its ontological levels and investigates the very concepts of polysemy, homonymy, and plurality of meanings and multiplicity of translations.
In pursuit of meaning and gradation of the substance of the source text, it also explores the intellectual and cognitive motion in the mind of the translator, and borrowing Sadra’s methodology finds translation as a permanent process of evolution in which every translation is in a state of flux awaiting retranslation.

The relation between stable and changing is among difficult philosophical cruxes on which philosophers were interested in from the ancient times. Mulla Sadra also, according to his argument of substantial motion and what follows from that, has grappled with that problem from another point of view. But there is still some ambiguity in his explanation and articulation of the problem. Among them is the problem how substantial motion can be held consistently with the stability of Dahr world, which Mulla Sadra believes in. in this paper we try to put a further gloss on substantial motion and clarify these ambiguities by assuming a different assumption.
This later assumption, considers important the role of material beings in realization of substantial movement. But due to the fact that there is a lot of disputation on the possibility of realization of knowledge in material beings among philosophers, we first embark solving such debates and defending the possibility of realization of knowledge in material natures and afterwards on the ground of it, we elaborate substantial motion. Also scrutinizing the relation between Dahr world with material universe and establishing the unity of these worlds, and denying causal relation between them, we'll establish their subjective duality and on the ground of that, we'll elaborate the fact how one can hold consistently the substantial motion of material world vis-à-vis the stability of natures in Dahr world.
