  • 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 Ethics in Australian Muslim Everyday Life: a Shi’Ite Perspective Mohamad Younes
    Islamic Ethics in Australian Muslim Everyday Life: A Shi’ite Perspective Mohamad Younes Master’s Thesis in Sociology Spring Term 2017 Humanities and Communication Arts Western Sydney University 1 17481784 Mohamad Younes 2 17481784 Mohamad Younes ABSTRACT Despite the strong emphasis on ethics within the Islamic tradition, Islamic ethics itself is scarcely represented as a discipline within academic scholarship (Ansari 1989). Even within this area, Islamic ethics have predominantly been studied from Sunni perspectives, with little attention being paid to Shi’ite or other minority understandings. This thesis will, therefore, use qualitative data collection methods of semi-structured in-depth interviews and focus groups, to sociologically study the perceptions, understandings, and applications of Islamic ethics in Australian Shi’ite Muslim everyday living. It will investigate the overarching understanding of Islamic ethics and its specific application in Australian Shi’ite Muslim context. The project's objective, therefore, is twofold: one to strengthen Islamic ethics as an independent discipline; and two to address the scant attention Shi’ite Islamic ethics has received in Islamic ethics scholarship generally. Conceptually, this project will contribute to the understanding of Islamic ethics through a particular analysis of Shi’ite Islamic ethics in an Australian Shi’ite context. This is significant as specific understandings of Islamic ethics in certain contexts help to explain how minority groups such as Shi’ite Muslims develop their own ethical standards to shape social relations in society. In addition, this thesis argues for Shi’ite Islamic ethics to be highly Imamate based; that is, very reliant on the actions and sayings of 12 divinely guided Imams (leaders).

  • Brill's Series of Primary Sources: Western Travelers in the Islamic World (Http: // Brill'
    134 Book Reviews / Iran and the Caucasus 16 (2012) 134-136 Brill’s Series of Primary Sources: Western Travelers in the Islamic World (http: //www.primarysourcesonline.nl/c19/). Brill’s online Series of Western travel literature on the Islamic World contains more than 220 main written sources by Western travellers, missioners, merchants, diplomatic representatives from early mediaeval period till the 20th century. It is a huge collection of important primary sources for the political, cultural, economic, ethnographical and differ- ent other issues of the history of late mediaeval and early modern Islamic societies from Africa to India and from the Caucasus to Arabic peninsula. In this review, we will focus only on some main sources listed in the Series concerning Iran and especially the history of the Safavids. However, for the Timurid period one of the most valuable sources is the narrative of the embassy of Ruy Gonzalez de Clavijo to the court of Timur at Samarcand in 1403-1406 whose travel laid through Iran. This narrative was translated from Spanish into English for the first time in 1859 by Clemente Ri Markham with notes, preface and an introduction on Timur Lang’s life. There is also the publication of the Spanish text with Russian translation by I. I. Sreznevskij in St. Petersburg in 1881. The next source to be introduced relates the 15th century’s history of Iran and includes the reports of Venetian ambassadors to the court of Uzun Hasan Aq Qoyunlu who was the ruler of Western Iran and Aturpa- takan (Azerbaijan). Those are Caterino Zeno, ambassador in 1471-1473; Giosofat Barbaro, ambassador in 1471-1478; and Ambrogio Contarini, ambassador in 1474-1476.

  • Relations Between Akkoyunlu and Karamanogullari
    RELATIONS BETWEEN AKKOYUNLUS AND KARAMANOGULLARI Ilhan ERDEM (University of Ankara, Turkey) Karamanogullari, one of the largest groups among those Turkish communities who lived in Anatolia, immigrated to Anatolia in the first half of the 13th century and settled in the southern parts of Toros Region, Ermenek Mut, Larende, etc., where they became a sovereign power in a short time and left their marks on the political, ethical and cultural areas. Their crowdedness and sound organizational structure distracted the attention of Seljuk Government, and Turkish Seljuks availed themselves of Karamans as a military power for their invasion raids. However, Karamans ran counter to the Government following the death of Aladdin Keykubad, which resulted in the Mogulian invasion of Anatolia (July, 1243 AD). As the Mogulian sovereignty lessened the central authority of Turkish Seljuks, the balance of political powers in Anatolia began to re-shape. Turkmens proceeded to take action on the one hand, while the decentralized feudal aristocracy gained power in the state on the other. Karamans were the first group who took action for independence and fought against Moguls. In 1256, the process of establishment of principalities was completely carried out with the besiegement of Ermenek by IV Kilij Arslan, the Sultan of Seljuks in that period. Karaman Beg (1256-61), the founder of the principality had it as a motto to fight against Moguls, and with this slogan, made a raid on Konya in 1261, in the name of the overthrown Sultan İzzeddin Keykavus. However, the alerted Seljuk-Mogulian forces blocked them in front of the Castle Gevele, and here Turkmens lost the battle.

Finally, lately in the 8th century, Amir Timur thrived from Transoxiana in northeastern Iran, and gradually made obedient Iran and surrounding countries. However, in the Northwest of Iran, Turkmen tribes reigned but during the Timurid raids they had returned to obedience, and just as withdrawal of the Timurid troops, they were quickly back their former power. These clans and tribes sometimes were troublesome to the Ottoman Empires and Mamluk Sultanate of Egypt. Due to the remoteness of these regions of Timurid Capital and, more importantly, lack of permanent government administrations and organizations of the Timurid capital, following Amir Timur’s death, because of dynastic struggles among his Sons and Grandsons, the Turkmens under these conditions were increasing their power and then they had challenged the Timurid princes. The most important goals of this study has focused on investigation of their relationships and struggles. How and why Timurid Empire has begun to combat against Qara Qoyunlu and Aq Qoyunlu Turkmens; what were the reasons for the failure of the Timurid deal with them, these are the questions that we try to find the answers in our study.
