  • Philosophy As a Path to Happiness
    CORE Metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk Provided by Helsingin yliopiston digitaalinen arkisto Philosophy as a Path to Happiness Attainment of Happiness in Arabic Peripatetic and Ismaili Philosophy Janne Mattila ACADEMIC DISSERTATION To be publicly discussed, by due permission of the Faculty of Arts at the University of Helsinki in auditorium XII, University main building, on the 13th of June, 2011 at 12 o’clock. ISBN 978-952-92-9077-2 (paperback) ISBN 978-952-10-7001-3 (PDF) http://ethesis.helsinki.fi/ Helsinki University Print Helsinki 2011 2 Abstract The aim of this study is to explore the idea of philosophy as a path to happiness in medieval Arabic philosophy. The starting point is in comparison of two distinct currents within Arabic philosophy between the 10th and early 11th centuries, Peripatetic philosophy, represented by al-Fārābī and Ibn Sīnā, and Ismaili philosophy represented by al-Kirmānī and the Brethren of Purity. These two distinct groups of sources initially offer two contrasting views about philosophy. The attitude of the Peripatetic philosophers is rationalistic and secular in spirit, whereas for the Ismailis philosophy represents the esoteric truth behind revelation. Still, the two currents of thought converge in their view that the ultimate purpose of philosophy lies in its ability to lead man towards happiness. Moreover, they share a common concept of happiness as a contemplative ideal of human perfection, merged together with the Neoplatonic goal of the soul’s reascent to the spiritual world. Finally, for both happiness refers primarily to an otherworldly state thereby becoming a philosophical interpretation of the Quranic accounts of the afterlife.

  • Islamic Influences in Lull's Logic
    ISLAMIC INFLUENCES IN LULL'S LOGIC CHARLES LOHR Universitat de Freiburg ilB I. IDEAS DERIVING FROM ARABIC LOGIC That Ramon Lull was, at the beginning of his career, strongly influenced by the Islamic tradition of Aristotelian logic is an incontrovertible fact. One of the very first works which Lull composed was the Compendium lo- gicae Algazelis, a compendium based on a treatise on logic written by al- Ghazáli, a Persian theologian roughly contemporary with Anselm of Canter- bury. Some years ago, I was able to show that Lull based this work on the treatise on logic from al-Ghazáli's Maqüsid al-falüsifa, an Aristotelian ency- clopedia based in turn on Avicenna's Persian Dünish nümeh. The works of Avicenna and al-Ghaziili are both made up of three treatises: logic, meta- physics, and natural philosophy. Al-Ghazáli's intention in making his adap- tation of Avicenna's work was to refute its teaching, a task he undertook in his celebrated Tahüfut al-falüsifa or <cDestructionof the Philosophers,,. We do not know whether Lull was acquainted with al-Ghazáli's intention nor whether ke knew the Tahüfut al-tahüfut or ccDestruction of the Destruc- tionn of Averroes which it called forth. His work covered, in any event, only the section on logic. His compendium was based on the Arabic original of Al-Ghazáli's work and was itself composed in Arabic. In its original form it seems to have been arranged in three sections: 1) On Universals, 2) On Pro- positions. 3) On Argumentation, following the division of logic according the three operations of the mind which had been introduced by Avicenna.

  • Bajodah Abdulrahman.Pdf
    CEU eTD Collection ABSTRACT The aim of my inquiry is to examine Ikhwan al-Safa’s (“Brethren of Purity”) creationist arguments against the Aristotelian doctrine of the world’s eternity. Arguing for creationism, Ikhwan al-Safa employ the Neoplatonic emanation theory as it is developed in their tenth- century Arabic encyclopedia. However, some historians have claimed that Ikhwan al-Safa’s emanation theory is a veiled attack on creationism that embraces the Aristotelian doctrine of the world’s eternity. Ikhwan al-Safa’s philosophical project is thus characterized as a project that aims either to reconcile or propagate a presupposed conflict between philosophy and religion, expressed for instance in this tension between Aristotelianism and creationism. This characterization allegedly lurks behind opposing historical testimonies regarding Ikhwan al- Safa’s identity and doctrine which I claim is contemporarily reproduced in similar terms with Ikhwan al-Safa’s scholarship. While both historical and contemporary characterizations tempt a double reading approach to Ikhwan al-Safa’s philosophy, I consider their philosophical project within the tradition of early Arabic philosophy, whose enterprise can be characterized as a natural theology project which does not presuppose a conflict between philosophy and religion. While Ikhwan al-Safa identify the philosophical tension between creationism and the world’s eternity doctrine, I demonstrate that Ikhwan al-Safa use emanation theory rather to substantiate their creationist arguments in light of their overall identification of creation with emanation. Consequently, Ikhwan al-Safa’s reception of Aristotelian and Neoplatonic sources should be recognized as a particular CEU eTD Collection philosophical synthesis of both with creationism, for they did not merely transmit these sources, but assimilated them into the Islamic context of 10th century Iraq.

  • Al-Ghazali (A.D
    The following text was originally published in Prospects: the quarterly review of comparative education (Paris, UNESCO: International Bureau of Education), vol. XXIII, no. 3/4, 1993, p. 519-542. ©UNESCO: International Bureau of Education, 2000 This document may be reproduced free of charge as long as acknowledgement is made of the source. AL-GHAZALI (A.D. 1058-1111; A.H. 450-505) Nabil Nofal1 Until recently, Islamic thought as propounded by al-Ghazali constituted the predominant school with regard to the theory and practice of Islam (and, in particular, Sunnite Islam). With his immense intellectual stature and his encyclopaedic knowledge, al-Ghazali has influenced Islamic thought and defined its practice for nearly nine centuries. He was a representative of ‘conciliatory Islam’. Over the past three decades, a new current of ‘combative Islam’ has appeared and grown rapidly, and is attempting to gain control of the Islamic world. Some observers see this trend as a new revival movement, while others perceive in it a threat not only to the Islamic countries, but to the entire world, and a source of destabilization, taking Islam and Muslims back fourteen centuries. This new movement derives its intellectual foundations from the teachings of Abu-l-A‘là al- Maududi, Sayyid Qutb and Ruhollah Khomeini, as well as their hard-line followers active in any number of countries. It advocates the proclamation of society as impious, the forcible elimination of existing regimes, the seizure of power and a radical change in social life-styles; it is aggressive in its rejection of modern civilization. The adepts of this trend hold that Islam, as professed and practised over many centuries, provides the solution to all the political, economic, social, cultural and educational problems facing the Arab and Islamic world, and indeed the whole planet.

  • Knowing God in Eastern Christianity and Islamic Tradition: a Comparative Study
    religions Article Knowing God in Eastern Christianity and Islamic Tradition: A Comparative Study Nur Kirabaev and Olga Chistyakova * Department of History of Philosophy, Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, Peoples’ Friendship University of Russia (RUDN University), 6, Miklukho Maklaya Street, 117198 Moscow, Russia; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 11 October 2020; Accepted: 11 December 2020; Published: 17 December 2020 Abstract: The currently existing type of dialogue of Western and Eastern cultures makes a philosophical exploration of Christianity and Islam compelling as they are fundamental monotheistic religions capable of ensuring the peaceful interaction of various ethnic cultures in the age of deepening secularization. The present analysis of the philosophical and epistemological teachings of the Greek Byzantine Church Fathers and the thinkers of classical Arab-Islamic culture aims at overcoming stereotypes regarding the opposition of Christianity and Islam that strongly permeate both scholarly theorizing and contemporary social discourses. The authors scrutinize the epistemological principles of the exoteric and esoteric knowledge of the Islamic Golden Age and the apophatic and cataphatic ways of attaining the knowledge of God in Early Christianity. Special attention is paid to the analysis of the concepts of personal mystical comprehension of God in Sufism (fana¯’) and in Christianity (Uncreated Light). Keywords: Christianity; Islam; Eastern Patristics; Sufism; fana’¯ ; uncreated light; deification; religious epistemology 1. Introduction The contemporary world is culturally and religiously diverse and may be confusing and sometimes even threateningly unpeaceful in the perception of people belonging to different socio-cultural communities. Interreligious relations in a multicultural world present a contemporary person with the idea of the other way of knowing God, religion, and hence another, different religious self-identity.

  • Pre-Darwinian Muslim Scholars' Views on Evolution
    3 Pre-Darwinian Muslim Scholars’ Views on Evolution Dr. Muhammad Sultan Shah * Abstract Charles Darwin is believed to be the first proponent of the evolutionary theory. This paper theorizes another point of view in this regard. Many a Muslim philosopher had already discussed the concept of evolution in their writings prior to Darwin. The pre-Darwinian Muslim scholars provided sufficient materials to Darwin for his theory of evolution who gave it scientific language. John William Draper, a contemporary of Darwin, called it the "Mohammadan Theory of Evolution". Darwin himself knew Arabic and had the direct access to Arabic literature. He was initiated into Islamic Culture in the Faculty of Religion at the University of Cambridge. Thus, it can be said that he derived the raw material of his theory from oriental literature. Charles Darwin (1809-1882) was an English naturalist who propounded the evolutionary theory. He believed that all living organisms have been evolved from common ancestors through the process of natural selection. He was the first scientist who elucidated his evolutionary ideas in scientific terms.
