Explaining Art in Ibn Arabie's Thought, Based on the Theory of Heart, and Human Comprehensiveness

Although the problem of art has not been addressed to Ibn 'Arabi in the present form and not in the center of his thought, his ontological and anthropological issues can be derived from the coherent foundation in this regard, and we can understand the artistic issues in the light of it. The meaning of Art or its benefits, although not explicitly mentioned in the works of Ibn Arabi, and there is no independent discussion of them in the great writings of Sheikh Akbar, but we can find useful tips about it from Ibn Arabi's theoretical foundations, and receive the main lines of his look at these matters. In this article, we intend to use the theory of manifestation to explain the art and its benefits and to clarify some of the main themes of Ibn 'Arabi's view of art. Therefore, at first, we examine the three different aspects of man in manifestation theory, and then, by explaining the basic concepts of Ibn Arabi's anthropology such as the heart, we show that the art is a comprehensive manifestation.
