- Abstract
In this paper, we aim to explore the problem of relation One and Many that is ongoing during the history of philosophy, from the point of views of Spinoza and Farabi. The first systematic solution about this problem has been asserted by Plotinus. In his philosophy, One which is the first source of all existence, appears as God in the metaphysics of Farabi. He synthesizes theory of emanation with the religion of Islam. On the one hand, He attributse divinity to One, on the other hand, he examines the relation of One and Many in terms of philosophical. According to him, the power of God’s creation of the multitude stem from self mind and whole world of existence as an inevitable result of God’s will. emerges result from necessity. Spinoza just as Farabi, attach to being of multiplicity the power of thinking and necessity nature of God. However, both philosophers approach to problem in different ways; while Farabi offers a hierarchical structure, Spinoza offers the existence which derive from immanent of nature. Thus, relation of One and Many in Farabi and Spinoza comprises some common points along with many contradictions. In this paper, we tried to uncover differences and similarities between Farabi and Spinoza who lived in distinct century, geographies and cultures, on the question of the nature of God and the existence of God.
