اقبال کا تصور زمان و مکان

Abstract

Iqbal discussed the Muslim and Western Philosophers' concept of time critically while describing his concept of time. He criticized Ashar'its, Ibn-e-Arabi, Razi and Dawani. He also mentioned the flaws of western thinkers like Zeno, Nietzche, Kant and Einstein. Iqbal's concept of time originates from his concept of Khudi. He defines self as appreciative and efficient self. The knowledge of appreciative self is knowledge by presence and the knowledge of efficient self is acquired knowledge. He also maintains difference between the time of human ego and the time of absolute ego. This article elaborates various dimensions of Iqbal's concept of time and its relevance with human and absolute ego.
