emanationism (الصُّدُورُ وَالْفَيْض)


التعريف :


A philosophical theory that is in opposition to creation. It explains the existence of the universe as a ‘flow’ of all things from an underlying reality in different grades. The cosmos is composed of all these things. The very idea of emanation negates God’s creation, as though the universe has always existed.
