The principle of the One is one of the most important philosophical principles in Islamic philosophy which is employed in relation to the quality of the emanation of existents. Ibn Sina believes, on the one hand, in the principle of the One and, on the other, in independent and plural realities. He justifies the existence of these pluralities based on the directions and considerations that he refers to concerning the first intellect. Some thinkers such as Ghazzali, Ibn Rushd, Imam Fakhr al-Din Razi, etc. believe that these directions and considerations are not enough for the justification of the quality of emanation and maintain that the theory of emanation contradicts the principle of the One. In contrast, some others such as Tusi and Mulla Sadra have defended this principle.
In this paper, we intend to critically examine the fundamental principles and motifs underlying the ideas of those who criticize or defend this principle. Moreover, we seek to provide an answer to the question of whether it is possible to believe in the principle of the One, on the one hand, and to justify the emanation of the plurals which are independent from the one Cause qua One, on the other.
