Abstract

The concept of risk refers to the threats that have arisen as a result of human decisions, especially after modernity. The complexity, uncontrollability, and global scale of risks in the modern world have made this concept increasingly welcomed by the scientific community since the late twentieth century. In this study, the concept of risk is outlined in Mulla Sadra's intellectual system and in this regard, the analytical method is used. This concept, when brought up in the system of Sadra's wisdom, covers both a concept and a case, a wider and deeper scope than that proposed in Western theories, and will not end only with the side effects of modernity. From Sadra's point of view, risks occurs due to lack of harmony with existence and due to man's neglect of the truth of existence, according to which existence also hides itself from man. Since disobeying the commands of God and the perfect man as the truth of existence and God's caliph on earth causes risks, so does man's return to the truth and seeking refuge in the perfect man as the only one who has the power to take over the world will save man from risk.
