Appearance of Pantheism and Unity of Intuition in "Lama'at" of Fakhr al-din Iraqi

Abstract

Pantheism (unity of entity) and unity of intuition are famous concepts in mysticism which have been discussed variously and philosophers and mystics have been presented various opinions and definitions about them. Some of them believe pantheism is a spiritual authority which is superior from unity of intuition, and some are opposite to this belief and others believe these two concepts are the same but everybody expresses them in different way and definitions different definitions. The book of Lama'at (means radiations) from Fakhr al-din Iraqi which is a complete mirror of Ibn al-Arabi opinions and also has foundations of practical mysticism of the past, demonstrates these two concepts with no differences or in the way that one of them is the preface of another. In this research we introduce these two concepts at first and then express the opinion and view of Fakhr al-din Iraqi about them in the book of Lama'at.
