To this end, based on two linguistic theories regarding the semantic structure of derivation, it is illustrated that Mulla Sadra’s philosophical views conform to the linguistic model of semantic simplicity of derivation when he expresses his philosophical system, and it conforms to the linguistic model of semantic complexity of derivation when he defends his theories based on dominant majority views. We have applied the linguistic model proposed in this study to some Mulla Sadra’s philosophical views, namely, answering the problem of the contingency of existence, the subject of motion, and the unity of intelligent and intelligible (<em>ittihad al-aqil wa al-ma'qoul</em>). It is also argued that if we presume the linguistic model of semantic simplicity of derivation, we need no reason to approve the philosophical theories of Mulla Sadra. But, to object his philosophical theories, we should presume the linguistic model of semantic complexity of derivation.   The present paper, through the linguistic analysis of Mulla Sadra's philosophical views, has shown that a single linguistic model can be applied to the analysis of all his philosophical views.
