فرق فلسفه و عرفان

The Difference between Philosophy and Gnosis

It is impossible for two things to be exactly like each other in every respect. Duality requires certain criteria. If two things are similar in everything, they will be one thing rather than two or more. Theoretical gnosis and philosophy move in the same direction concerning several issues, and both are after the same end, i.e., ontology, but following two different approaches. Thus they are two independent types of knowledge and must be different from each other with regard to certain issues and aspects. The purpose of the writer here is to study such differences.
