Jedinstvo pojma i objekta Biti i svojstava Uzvišenog Boga u mišljenju Ibn Sinaa
Conceptual and objective unity of the Essence and Attributes of the Divine Necessary Being from the perspective of Ibn Sina

Summary/Abstract: The paper aims to present Ibn Sina’s view of the relation between the attributes and the Essence of the Necessary Being. The issue of the attributes is of extraordinary importance,and it can be said that it is a part of the first and fundamental theological discussions in the Islamic world. Moreover, it can be considered an arena of conflict between the opposing and the affirmative views. There is no doubt that the extreme views on this issue had harmful consequences for scientific circles. In the wake of that, Ibn Sina’s theory (conceptual and objective unity of the attributes), which could be called a specific theory, is of extraordinary importance. The Ibn Sina’s view which opposes the known theory (objective unity and conceptual distinction between the attributes and the Essence) has not attracted much attention of scientific circles. Hence, by applying a new concept, the paper also aims to present Mulla Sadra’s view on the issue.
