Erfaniyat Dar Adab Farsi

Gnosticism is an ancient school of thought which has a lot in common with Manichean, Platonic and Neo-Platonic schools. Abu Abdullah Muhammad bin Ali Termezi (the first quarter of third century AH) is a mystic figure who represents eastern philosophers and is the founder of Bin Arabi’s views. An analytical-descriptive comparison between Hakim Termizi’s views and the principles of the above-mentioned schools of thought is indicative of the effects those schools have had on his views and is due to the fact that Termiz’s viewpoints and the aforementioned schools come from the same origin. This comparison proves that the religions and/or human schools of thought are hierarchically connected to each other.
