Abstract:
"Contemplation"(Gaze) is used in contrast to "action" in the new discourse, it is used in Uthulujiyya and Enneads in cosmological and existential discussions. The problem of this writing is the analysis of the use of " contemplation " in Uthulujiyya and Enneads with an existential approach. The question is, is the use of "contemplation"(Gaze) in the Uthulujiyya and the Enneads the same and in the same sense, or is it different in the two works? How is " contemplation" expressed in these two books? The answer is, they are not different in terms of meaning; But they are different in terms of application and method of examining the subject. in the theology of Uthulujiyya, "contemplation" (Gaze) can be attributed to both God and the intellect and soul. "contemplation" is raised in the theory of grace and issuance and is connected with cosmology and theology. And in the Enneads, there is an "contemplation" in all hierarchy of life about God, intellect, soul and nature, and it has a creative aspect. The important difference between these two works is that in the rendering of the Enneads, it pays attention to "contemplation" both in the existential aspect and the epistemological aspect as opposed to "action"; and examines contemplation against action; While there is no such view in Uthulujiyya. Therefore, in this article, we will explain the term "contemplation " in Uthulujiyya and Enneads and examine its position in the cosmological system of these two works. The method of this writing is descriptive-analytical.
