Muhammed Abid al-Jâbirî's critique of gnosticism in the context of shi'ism

Al-Jâbirî examines three approaches in the study of Gnosticism. These are İsmaili Gnosticism, philosophy of Ibn Sina, Sufism of Hallac-ı Mansur. The radical Shiite group argues that the Ismailis were influenced by Hermetism. Al-Jâbirî examines the philosophy of Ibn Sina in the context of Shiism. Al-Jâbirî examines Shiite intuition in terms of method, literature and mediation function. He argues that ancient Iranian culture is the determining factor in the formation of Shiism. He studies Imami-Shiite philosophy in the context of İsmailism. Shiism established a theological-political order based on imamet mythology. Divides the order of imams into theory and mythology. However, the imamate theory does not address. Al-Jâbirî tries to encircle intuitionism in rationality. He argues that intuition is a form of analogy. Math analogies give new and precise information. Other analogies do not provide new and precise information. They only have the power to convince them. These analogies have relational similarities. Jâbirî's critique of Gnosticism is similar to Ghazali's critique of "Bâtınîlik" in that he defends the possibility of knowledge. Both have the same headings of criticism. He thinks that the Islamic World is declining because he cannot think freely. Criticizes mystical philosophy. Philosophy (burhan) and language (beyan) advotaces the unity. It doesn't fit any method completely. It uses the appropriate aspects of the methods to its own system. It seeks to achieve Euro-modernity with cultural and religious commitment. The reconstruction project aimed an epistemic break from the classical tradition. Al-Jâbirî is against relativity, unlimited interpretation. He criticizes the philosophical aspect of Shiism, not the religious aspect. His criticisms were limited to epistemology and did not include ontology in his system. Al-Jâbirî wants mythological cleansing in Islamic culture. Aristotle advocates a rationalism based on logic.
