Creativity, as a higher cognitive function, is of a great importance in today's world. Among Islamic philosophers, Mollaa Sadraa, the founder of Transcendent Philosophy, has many ideas that can be translated into educational principles and methods for the development of creativity. Based on his epistemological views, the following principles were deducted: being creative, individual differences, continuous cognitive renewal, actualization of human powers, elevation, attention to human worlds, and cleansing of the imagination. Accordingly, the following methods are inferred: dreaming, inspiration by nature, affective stimulation, reception of new experiences, cleansing of the soul, reflection, development of higher artistic tendencies, and visualization of an imagined face.
