Abstract
The motion, life and time are dimensions of human existence and time is one of the most important philosophical issues in understanding the meaning and progress of life. In Mulla Sadra and Bergson's philosophies, time is related to the meaning of life. Here, pointing to the fact that they were contemporaries, and also their similar emphasis on the fact that time is the magnitude of any motive being,such as mankind, the relationship between time and the meaning of life can be explained and analyzed. In this research, the analytical-comparative method is developed to prove that one’s life is his presence in different stages of time and also the moments of life corresponds to the minutes of time. Thus the meaning of life can be concluded from two facts: first, the adherence of the system of life on the basis of the order and the sequence of time and second, one makes the present and the future according to his experience of the past.
