Abstract
This is a continuation of the publication of the translation into Russian of IbnRushd’s treatise, in which he criticizes the principles of Kalam theology, especially those of Asharites, and juxtaposes them to the Quranic arguments. This part deals with apophatic attributes and pays a special attention to the issues of God’s incorporality, His presence in a certain “side” and His visibility. The author condemns Kalam allegorization of anthropomorphic descriptions of God in the Quran and Hadith, regarding this approach as contrary to the Quranic method of education of the public and as а cause of division of Islam into different sections.
