منزلة العقل في مستويات العلم عند الشيخ الأكبر محي الدين بن عربي

Abstract EN

Sufism is not just a practical behavior only, even if it is a quest to know existence at all levels, and this pursuit was the result of the devotional behavioral approach of the mystic, so knowledge has become a natural product of his observations and tastes of his foundations and conditions.

This is what constitutes the essence of Sufi knowledge expressed by gratitude versus the visionary who are content with reason alone as a way of knowledge.

Ibn Arabi devotes many chapters, especially in his encyclopedic book "alfutuhat almuki" to the nature of Sufi knowledge, highlighting its mechanisms, goals and value, and among what his book opens this talk about the levels of science, he sees three orders according to the nature of the known subject, which in reality is nothing but The levels of existence, for each level of existence is matched by a level of knowledge, and the fact that mental knowledge is one of these levels, so that they are appropriate to their subject, while in the other it is dependent, in the sense of an explanation and clarification, not productive.

And that's what we tried to stand on in this research paper.
