The term "barzakh" indicates the activity or actor that differentiates between things and that, paradoxically, then provides the context of their unity. Author Salman H. Bashier looks at early thinkers and shows how the synthetic solutions they developed provided the groundwork for Ibn al-'Arabi's unique concept of barzakh. Bashier discusses Ibn al-'Arabi's development of the concept of barzakh ontologically through the notion of the Third Thing and epistemologically through the notion of the Perfect Man, and compares Ibn al-'Arabi's vision with Plato's. 606 $aIntermediate state$xIslam 606 $aCreation (Islam) 615 0$aIntermediate state$xIslam. 615 0$aCreation (Islam) 676 $a181/.92 700 $aBashier$b Salman H.$f1964-$01655354 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910807691503321 996 $aIbn al-?Arabi?'s Barzakh$94007715 997 $aUNINA
