Theists believe that the Universe is governed by a single being whorules according to absolute wisdom, grace, power and justice. Hiswisdom and grace implies that He creates a universe with the bestpossible order and most goods and perfection. A universe which is, asHe Himself, perfect and pure good. At the first glance, however, wefind the universe lacking goodness, i. e. a universe endowed withVices and evils. These Vices may be regarded as either metaphysical,natural, or moral.These questions and the like put the Divine attributes such asHis Omniscience & Omnipotent, Tawhid (Oneness) Divine Justice,His Grace, divine absolute Wisdom and Power under doubt. Theauthor is attempting to propose solutions posed by Islamicphilosophers in this regard. Different approaches taken by somecontemporary philosophers such as J.L. McGee and the answeroffered by the contemporary philosopher of religion, Alvin Plantinga,will be further studied. Manuscript profile

6 - Mēnō, Gētī and the Multiple States of Being in the Illuminationist Philosophy

The Two most important notions of the Mazdean cosmologyare mēnō and gētī. Mēnō is a non- material, invisible and suprasensorystate which belongs to Ahuramazda, Amshaspands, other deities andthe eternal mēnō of the creatures of this world. In a sharp contrast, gētīis the More

The Two most important notions of the Mazdean cosmologyare mēnō and gētī. Mēnō is a non- material, invisible and suprasensorystate which belongs to Ahuramazda, Amshaspands, other deities andthe eternal mēnō of the creatures of this world. In a sharp contrast, gētīis the material, contingent and earthly mode of existence. In theAvesta and the Pahlavi texts these two modes of being seem closelyinterwoven. Mēnō is the unseen force which moves, organizes andmanipulates gētī, and gētī is the material form in which mēnō residesand with which it performs its functions.In the Illuminationist philosophy of Suhrawardi all thedescending states of being emanated from Nur al- anwar, areclassified into three categories of «the world of pure beings» ,including the world of intellect and the world of soul, «the world ofmithāl», which is the intermediate state, and «the materialworld»which includes the spheres and the elements. In a comparativeoutlook, the Mazdean triple worlds of Amshaspandns and other deties,the mēnōg forms of the gētīg beings, and the gētī correspond to thetriple worlds of Suhrawardi. Manuscript profile

The article, tries to explore mysticism from a fuzzy thinking angle ofview and analyze it in terms of epistemic and social pathology. To dothis end, it undertakes first to define the notion and historicalbackground of the term "fuzzy" and then proceeds to describe thefuzzy worldview. It then goes on to expound, what is meant by "fuzzylogic" explaining and proving its theoretical principles andfundamental theorems. While introducing the "fuzzy notion" andanalyzing its relation to categories such as "knowledge" and "hikma",the author goes on to discuss the relation between mysticism on theone hand and fuzzy logic and thinking on the other. Accordingly.mysticism enjoys naturally such characteristics that are in harmonywith corresponding ones in fuzzy thinking. For this reason, mysticismshould be considered as a quasi- fuzzy thinking.
