Papers by Yasar Aydinli
Kindî essentially accepts creation out of nothing (ex nihilo) and struggles to construct a philosophical basis for this understanding in accordance with Aristotelian and Neo-platonic principles. Kindî regards God’s creation of the universe in the beginning of time before which there was nothing as the most plausible explanation of the relationship between God and universe, as well as an object of creed. Kindî develops two interdependent arguments to ground this view philosophically. Firstly, he proves that the universe is finite considering that it is substance; and so, it has necessarily a starting point within time. The second one which is based on the concept of eternal and the subject of this article proves that there is no eternal being but the True One and True Agent.
