Exegesis of intermediate position according to Ghazi Sa id Gho

The theory of intermediate position is a guidance presented by the infallibles in opposition to determinism and libertarianism and Shi’ite theologians and philosophers offered different exegeses of it. From among these exegeses is that of the sage Ghazi Sa’d Ghommi. He tries to find an answer to the question of relationship between Divine Activity and attributing an action to man and the way we can put these two kinds of activity or attribution together. In his exegesis, Ghazi Sa’id invalidates any kind of attribution of man’s actions to God either directly as ash’arites believes or indirectly as peripatetic philosophers believe. He also invalidates former necessity of action and regards it as a kind of determinism. On the other hand he attributes man’s action to the man himself and explains that there is only one will and determination in the status of man’s action and it is man’s will and determination. Nevertheless, he regards man’s determination as the manifestation of God’s determination and with such a view, regards man as dependent in determination and doing actions.
