Abstract

Al-Kindi, the first muslim philosopher, has raised the problem of "Existence" in the manner of his own. In Al-Kindi's works, the term of Existence is used infrequently, and instead of it, the term of "cawn" or "ays" in contradiction with "lays" or "enniah" often is employed. In Al-Kindi's writings, of course, the term of Existence sometimes means perception and conscience. He distinguishes between thing and its Essence, and this distinction bear resemblance to the distinction which late-comers draws between Existence and Essence. According to the total of his writings, it seems that Al-Kindi considers thingness and Existence as the real and authentic, and that he regards the Essence as the abstract, unreal, and mental construct. Although, during the time of Al-Kindi, the problem of the reality of Existence or Essence, as a problem, yet had not become propounded.
