تشبيه و تنزيه نزد ابن عربي

Comparability and Incomparability Declaration in Ibn Arabi

تشبيه و تنزيه دو واژه متداول در فرهنگ اسلامي است، اما ابن‌عربي طبق مباني خاص خود، به‌ويژه وحدت وجود، تفسيري تازه از آن ارايه مي‌دهد و معرفت صحيح خداي تعالي را در جمع ميان تشبيه و تنزيه مي‌يابد و براساس اين الگوي معرفتي جديد به جمع ميان نصوص به ظاهر ناسازگار ديني در زمينه اسما و صفات خداي متعال مي‌پردازد. در اين مقاله، ضمن تبيين ديدگاه ابن‌عربي در اين باره لوازم الهياتي نظريه او تبيين مي‌گردد.

Comparability and incomparability are two common terms in Islamic literature. Ibn Arabi, however, in view of his own principles particularly the unity of Being has provided a new interpretation of them according to which the true knowledge of God is obtained not in rejecting one in favor of the other but in both upholding comparability and declaring incomparability. On the basis of this new pattern of knowledge he attempted to reconcile two apparently incompatible scriptural statements of Divine Names and Attributes. The present article is to explain Ibn Arabiʹs view of problem and its theological implications.
