Abstract (EN)

In the tradition of philosophical thought, from ancient Greek to Islamic philosophers, basic metaphysical problems such as existence-absence, unity, and plurality have been tried to be solved by producing theories in favor of reason. In this study, the positive concepts such as mind and being in the center of Al-Fârâbî and İbn Sînâ and the nature of the identity established between God are discussed. In this context, the reasons for calling reason God and the metaphysical consequences of the existence of God as reason are given. Within the framework of the question of why God's existence is seen as a mind, the views of Aristotle and Plotinos, one of the founding thinkers of the philosophical tradition that Islamic thinkers inherited, were included. While the subject was addressed in the focus of Farabi and Ibn Sîna, firstly, how these two philosophers based on the existence of God both at the ontological and conceptual level was discussed. Later, the meaning of God's presence and reason identity in terms of action is analyzed in the context of emanation and metaphysical results. Finally, the difference between discrete minds, which are mind beings like God and God, has been explained conclusively by comparing them in terms of both being and action.
