Summary/Abstract: The author is investigating certain aspects of the macrocosmic and microcosmic imagination – the doctrine held by the great Sufi metaphysician of the XIIIth century – Ibn Al-‘Arabi. Various philosophical concepts, such as mithal, khayal, ‘alam al-mithal, are discussed in order to reveal some features of his theosophy that can be, albeit indirectly, traced back to the Hellenic Neoplatonism, especially that of Plotinus.
