In this paper I propose an argument against the conciliatory view in peer disagreement. One of the most important grounds for conciliatory views is the assumption that the epistemic situation in peer disagreement between two peers is symmetri cal. Symmetry justifies the conciliatory views. If so, showing that the situation is actually asymmetric should count as a refutation to conciliatory views of disagreement. By appealing to the difference between the processes by which the beliefs of the two parties have been formed, I try to show that there is a difference between the reliabilities of the two beliefs. This means the asymmetrical situation between two peers in disagreement. Since the conciliatory and steadfast views are contradictory views, any argument against one of them should be considered as an argument for the other.

In this research, ‘vision’ in Kobrāwīyids and Orthodox Christian mysticism is studied comparatively. Most of the mystics of both ways have experienced God as light, but some of them have experienced God in darkness or black light symbol. They asserted God’s incomprehensible presence in the symbol of black light in order to purify God from any similarity. This is a light that causes the vision, but itself is not seen, because of intensity of shining and nearness. Here, I argue that despite both of the ways have many similarities on concept of the vision, Orthodox mystics describe the vision as vision of Trinity, especially vision of Christ, but Kobrāwīyid sufis do not speak of the vision of God, because they believe in the absolute transcendence of God, and describe their vision as degrees of dignity of God (Mahadher) and His manifestations.

Befor Inb Arabi, according to the Helenistic view, the human perception was confined to sensations and objects of reason. And, for the sensation was regarded as an instrument for reason, the latter was thought as the final perceptive faculty. Furthermore, the reason supported by logics, was regarded as the final judge. In the mentioned thought tradition, all of findings should be assessed in the light of reason to their truth of falsity be determined. Ibn Arabi suggests a new worldview and makes the traditional conception of reason encountered to some main challengs. According to this fact, orientalists rightly have called him the largest and most influential thinker in the second half of Islamic age. Ibn Arabi's meeting with Averoes – the main philosopher of his age – is regarded as a kind of end for a long time tradition and the begining of a new route. The route Ibn Arabi founded is takig authority from reason and giving it to the imagination in an strict sense. Nowaday, after the rise of postmodernism and many challenges about modern hypothses about the nature of human being and rationality, and refutation of many modern assumptions, inclination to reassessment of oriental thoughts has been increased, and therefore, there is an increasingly interest in Ibn Arabi's views. Thus, it is necessary to all of his ideas are studied in the light of current streams of thoughts. This paper tries to study and explicate Ibn Arabi's views about the imaginantion and its role and function in the realm of perception
