The Notion of Possibility (Imkan) and Its Usage as an Evidence Between Islamic Philosophers and Mutakallimun
Keywords:
Imkân (Notion of Possibility), Istihâle (Transform), Vujub (Obligation), Islamic Philosophers, MutakallimunAbstract
The human being, as a part of the universe, has been questioned about his being and the realm he is in; and tried to make it understandable from a rational point of view. In this paper, I have tried to shed light on the concept of imkan (notion of possibility) that constitutes an aspect of this effort and its usage as an evidence. While i have pointed out this notion’s use throughout history in a common ground, i have also endeavored to reveal the difference between Islamic philosophers’ and mutakallimun’s use that notion in the Islamic world.
