刘智论大世界

刘智是我国清代回族中一位著名的伊斯兰学者，他的带有苏菲神秘主义的宇宙观既系统完整，又有很大的独特性。在回族伊斯兰哲学思想中是颇具代表性的。刘智认为，真实的存在是唯一的，这就是造物的真主，普遍的现象世界则是由它显现而来的。宇宙的生成过程则是先有本质世界（理世），而后才有现象世界（象世）。然而，不论是理世也好，还是象世也好，一切存在无非都是“真宰之本然”。

On Liu Zhi＇ s View of Macrocosm

Liu Zhi was a famous Islamic scholar in Qing Dynasty. He had a very systematic world - view of the Sufi mysticism, which was very unique and representative in the Hui Islamic philosophy. Liu Zhi argued that the Real Being was the only one, which was the Creator, and it was from Him that the whole Creature came into being. As for the Creation itself, the nature of things came first, and then things themselves came. However, no matter whether in the natural world or in the phenomenal world, all things existed were no other but the Creator Himself.
