Abstract

Transcendence and simile problem is an embroglio in theology which always opened many challenges facing for petitioners and theosophists and created discussions between various groups who simile human's features to the God and in the same time they try to Transcendence God respect to such creatures’ features. This article study Transcendence and simile, respect to Ebn Arabi's theosophy viewpoint and wisdoms philosophy for Spinoza which will be shown that absolute transcendence or simile in Ebn Arabi's viewpoint is rejected and he thinks there is a comprehensive view between transcendence both of them and in the other hand in Spinoza's viewpoint, there is a transcendence for the God and also there is a credit simile or maybe a combination between both of them.
