Abstract:
The book, İbn-i Arabî: Kelami Tartışmalar, Sorular, Şüpheler, consists of six sections: “Ibn al-ʿArabī”, “philosophy of waḥdat al-wujūd”, “approach to Jesus Christ and Pharaoh”, “approach to women, religion and the hell”, “[Ibn al-ʿArabī’s] resources of thinking and relation with philosophy”, and “Ibn al-ʿArabī and critiques against him in the history.” According to Akman, it is a requirement to make readings on philosophy, mysticism, and theology to understand the thinking of Sufi-philosopher, Ibn al-ʿArabī. The author, according to himself, has read Ibn al-ʿArabī through these fields, but he assesses Ibn al-ʿArabī’s teaching in the context of theology (kalām).
