محدوده معرفت فاعل شناسا به باري تعالي از منظر حكيم زنوزي

Domain of knowers knowledge of Allah from viewpoint of Hakim Zinoozi

محدوده معرفت انسان به خداوند متعال، يكي از مهم‌ترين مباحثي است كه بر اساس هستي‌شناسي خداوند و نيز شناخت انسان به‌عنوان جلوه‌اي بهره‌مند از ابزارهاي معرفتي مورد توجه فيلسوفان الهي قرار گرفته است. حكيم زنوزي به‌دقت به بررسي فلسفي اين مسئله پرداخته و در ارائه تفسيري صحيح از برخي از آيات و روايات مطرح در اين زمينه كوشيده است. وي با تقسيم هر يك از دو قسم علم، يعني علم حصولي و علم حضوري به بالوجه و بالكنه، تعلق هر يك را به خداوند بررسي كرده و تعلق قسم بالكنه علم حصولي و نيز علم حضوري را به خداوند ممتنع دانسته، ولي تعلق قسم بالوجه آن دو را به حضرتش ممكن برشمرده است.

As one of the most important issues pertaining to divine ontology and related to understanding human being as a divine manifestation equipped with epistemic tools, the domain of human beings knowledge of Allah has [always] been the focus of theistic philosophers attention. Zinoozi, the sage, has meticulously studied the problem from a philosophical point of view. He has tried to give a correct interpretation of some of the Quranic verses and traditions relevant to this issue. Dividing each one of the two branches of knowledge (knowledge by acquisition and knowledge by presence) into knowledge of the essence and knowledge of the appearance, he studies their application with Allah. According to him, it is impossible to apply knowledge of the essence to Allah, whether it belongs to knowledge by acquisition or to knowledge by presence. However the application to Allah of knowledge of the appearance belonging to anyone of the two said branches of knowledge is quite possible.
