Abstract

This research tackles the AL - Mutakallimin's view of nature as a totality of bodies and accidents ‎‎. The subject of natural philosophy is the material structure of the world , it's modes and ‎qualities , and in this scheme lay the criter ion by which they are distinguished between body ‎and atom . ‎ From our analysis of the relationship between bodies and accidents , we can make following ‎conclusions : ‎ ‎1.‎ The Mut'tazilah asserted existence of the universal in the external world and the ‎Asha'rites negated it . ‎ ‎2.‎ The accidents are the equal to the Aristotelian from and quality . ‎ ‎3.‎ Al- Mutakallimmin's views of accidents were the gen eral philosophical solution of the ‎question concerning of the relationship between God and the created world . ‎ ‎4.‎ In the solution of that question arose two tendencies , one of them gave nature a ‎relative independence , while the proponents of other tendency denied the causality ‎in world , which they attributenis existence and life , completely , to the prime cause !‎
