Abstract

UDK 28-184.3

The article analyses Ibn Taymiyyah’s logical and theological concepts which have philosophical aspects because they rely upon rational arguments which are free from any other external influence. Ibn Taymiyyah follows his own philosophical predisposition (fitrah), which he personally considered to be much more capable to relate about the truth than any other philosopher. His criticism is directed against theologians, philosophers and Sufis who were under the influence of Greek philosophers. The pivotal issue in all his theological-philosophical discourse is the transcendence of God and the relation between God and his attributes. He believes that God’s essence is one, and His attributes are plural. We cannot speak of God but only about His attributes and about His names that are mentioned in the Qur’an which are derived from the empirical world as a requirement of human mind. Thus, the discourse about God’s attributes includes the discourse about His essence.
