| The divine vicegerency is one of the deepest scientific and epistemic debates in the divine and human sciences and the role of divine mysticism in this field is crucial. There are two fundamental arguments in Islamic mysticism: the first is about monotheism or divinity and according to the verse «علم آدم اسماء کلها», the subject of this argument is divine lordship and His names and attributes, and the second is the anthropological debate and given the verse«انی جاعل فی الارض خلیفه» , it deals with man as the vicegerent of Allah. One of the most distinguished theosophists and mystics who has written on the subject of the perfect human being is Sa'en al-Din ibn Tarakeh. In this research, considering his anthropological and monotheistic views, it has been attempted to portray the perfect human who is the vicegerent of the divine vicegerency. ibn Tarakeh has divided his important book, “Tamhid al-Qava’id”, into these two basic sections, and has dealt with these issues in each section. In the second section, he has offered some accurate and delicate views on man’s divine vicegerency. This article deals with the status of man’s divine vicegerency considering the mystic interpretation of Quranic verses and, particularly, the views of Sa'en al-Din ibn Tarakeh. |
