Abstract: (361 Views) |
The issue of "divine will" is one of the theological topics on which there may be found various views among Islamic theologians. In this article, using a library method and referring to theological works, we study the issue comparatively with regard to the perspective of two prominent thinkers of the Hilla and Isfahan schools, "Allamah Hilli" and "Fayyaz Lahiji". The findings of the research show that despite the similarities of these two thinkers, they disagree on whether will is essential or actual. Therefore, Allamah Hilli considers will to be an attribute of essence, but Fayyaz believes in the occurrence, huduth, of will and considers general will to be the same knowledge that will be an attribute of essence, and considers the realization of will in the sense of occurrence to be detailed will and an attribute of act. However, the reason for the difference in views in these two areas of thought is the difference in their epistemological views. Because the approach of the theologians in the Hillah school towards the "Divine Will" is a philosophical approach, but in contrast, the theologians of the Isfahan school follow a textualist approach in addition to the philosophical approach.
Keywords: Divine Will, Textualism, Hillah School, Isfahan School, Allameh Hilli, Fayyaz Lahiji.
