Description
Summary:Based mainly on the Matalib, the present study discusses al-Razi's views on time by elaborating on the arguments for and against the existence of time, its essence and God's priority to the world. After all of the above-mentioned points have been clarified, the thesis concludes that al-Razi's view of self-evident time is as central to his physics and metaphysics as absolute time is to Newton's philosophy. I believe that this thesis will provide a solid investigation of al-Razi's own idea of time, which can hopefully enlighten further research leading to an assessment of his idea of physics and metaphysics.
