Abstract :

  According to Ibn Arabi, the reality of man is a human subtlety breathed into man’s body by God. This human subtlety or “heart” is a mediator between the body and the soul, and the seat of knowledge of the Names. Based on Ibn Arabi’s ideas, the present article tries to examine the concept of “the reality of the Man” in theoretical mysticism.
