Sadrul Motaʹallehinʹs Theory on the Semantics of Godʹs Attributes

In this paper the question of the semantics of Godʹs attributes is examined from the viewpoint of M. ulla Sadra. The great Muslim phisosopher relying on ontology and its relevant principles deals with the Godʹs attributes. Invoking principles of homonymy (Eshterake maanavi) and the gradation of being (tashkik wujuci) equivocation of the existence, he shows the ideas of anthropomorphism and absolute purity are wrong and explains that existence is applied to the creator and creature in a gradation manner. He also interprets The attributes of beauty in the light of the nature of the existence and the identity of its qualities with its essence and they are like the existence, common and equivocal and understandable by human reason.
