Examining the disagreement between Ibn Sina and Mulla Sadra on unity and the conceptual differences of divine names and attributes
Journal Title: جستارهایی در فلسفه و کلام - Year 2016, Vol 48, Issue 96
Abstract
The truth about Divine Names and the meanings of Divine Names and Attributes have always been regarded as key issues in Islamic theology and philosophy, and their surrounding debates have so far triggered controversial and challenging ideas. In this context, the difference of opinions between Ibn Sina as the head of the Peripatetic School and Mulla Sadra as the founder of Transcendental Theosophy have been underestimated. Therefore, in the beginning of the article, some principles in relation to the issue of Beautiful Divine Names have been shortly mentioned in order to set the ground for the primary discussion, i.e. the disagreement between Ibn Sina and Mulla Sadra on unity and the conceptual differences of divine names and attributes. Then, the ideas of Ibn Sina and Mulla Sadra are analyzed and their disagreement is reviewed
