A Comparative Study of the Concept of Poverty in the Transcendent Philosophy and in Sufism
Author(s):
Abstract:
In Islamic tradition we find lots of descriptions concerning poverty of possible existents. Among the different schools of Islamic philosophy, the transcendent wisdom has a closer relationship with Sufism. Poverty has an important role in sufi's viewpoints. In the transcendent wisdom (philosophy of Mulla Sadra), possible creatures are poor essentially such that they have no idenity but pure relations to God as their cause. In both schools, poverty of the possible existents leads to a kind of oneness of being: there is no thing in the cosmos but God. Therefore, possible existents are so poor that we can say that they are no things; they are only God's self disclosure. In this paper we compare the notion of poverty and its implications from the viewpoints of these two schools.
