TY - JOUR ID - 56518 TI - A Critical Analysis of the Application of “Divine Wisdom” in Shi‘ite Theology JO - Philosophy and Kalam JA - JITP LA - en SN - 2008-9422 AU - Izadi, Janan AD - Assistant Professor, Department of Islamic Philosophy, Faculty of Literature and Humanities, University of Isfahan Y1 - 2015 PY - 2015 VL - 48 IS - 2 SP - 137 EP - 158 KW - Divine Wisdom KW - The Methodology of Kalam KW - Divine Grace KW - Prophecy KW - Imamate KW - Resurrection DO - 10.22059/jitp.2015.56518 N2 - The attribute of Divine Wisdom is applied in Shi‘ite Theology to prove some religious beliefs. Shi‘ite theologians believe that providing the tools needed to achieve the Divine Purpose of the human beings’ creation and removing the obstacles to it is necessary to God. Using logical analyses, this research investigates the sufficiency of the arguments based on Divine Wisdom in relation to the problems of the principle of Divine Grace, Divine Justice, the necessity of prophecy, the Imamate, and the resurrection. It seems that these arguments, because of having their roots in Divine Purpose, are not sufficient to prove the results.
