The book, ‘A Comparative Study of Good and Evil from the Views of Ibn Arabi and Avicenna’, attempts to elaborate on the views of these two prominent figures of Islamic thinking on the nature of Good and Evil.
According
to IBNA correspondent, the book ‘A Comparative Study of Good and Evil from the
Views of Ibn Arabi and Avicenna’ by Hassan Amini compares the views of
philosophers and mystics about evil and explores the reasons for the existence
of evil in all aspects of life.
Amini
examines the views of Avicenna (Ibn Sina), as the representative of peripatetic
school and rationalism as well as those of Ibn Arabi as the founder of
theoretical mysticism about the nature of the Good and the Evil and the
relation between them. He discusses the principles of thought of these two
thinkers and compares them with each other.
The
author of this book points to the similarities and differences between the
ideas of these two figures and explains the relativity of evil and its lower
existence compared with good things and associates it with the topics of
"determinism and free will" and "divine destiny".
The
first edition of this book is published by al Mustafa publications in 280 pages.
