هستي شناسي از ديدگاه ابن عربي و عبدالكريم جيلي

Ontology from Perspectives of Ibn al-Arabi and Abd al-Karim al-Jili

Ontology is considered a branch of philosophy, but the way a mystic looks at the being is different from that of a philosopher. While expounding mystical consideration of existence, perspectives of two outstanding Muslim mystics, Ibn al-Arabi and AM al-Karim al-Jili, concerning knowledge of existence is discussed in this research. Abd al-Karim al-Jili (d. 826 A.H.), who is a well-known follower of the school of Ibn al-Arabi, has presented anthropomorphic interpretation of Ihn al-Arahiʹs viewpoints. Title of the book al-Insan al-Kamil fi Marifah al-Awakhir waʹl Awail indicates that, in the authorʹs opinion, the perfect man is the beginning and the end of existence. Al-Jill is in search for the perfect man in the level of Lordship, and even higher than that in the level of Identity of the Essence.
