A study of problems, all revolving around the subject of intellect in the philosophies of Alfarabi, Avicenna, and Averroes, this book starts by reviewing discussions in Greek and early Arabic philosophy which served as the background for the three Arabic thinkers. Davidson examines the cosmologies and theories of human and active intellect in the three philosophers and covers such subjects as: the emanation of the supernal realm from the First Cause; the emanation of the lower world from the transcendent active intellect; stages of human intellect; illumination of the human intellect by the transcendent active intellect; conjunction of the human intellect with the transcendent active intellect; prophecy; and human immortality. Davidson shows that medieval Jewish philosophers and the Latin Scholastics had differing perceptions of Averroes because they happened to use works belonging to different periods of his philosophic career.

在接触到 Alfarabi, Avicenna, and Averroes on Intellect 这本书之前,我一直对伊斯兰哲学,尤其是他们关于“智性”的论述充满好奇。书名本身就吸引了我,它直接点明了研究对象和核心议题。我期待这本书能够深入剖析这三位哲学家在智性问题上的独特贡献。Alfarabi,作为最早将希腊哲学系统化并融入伊斯兰思想的哲学家,他对智性的理解,是否受到了新柏拉图主义的影响,他如何看待智性在连接神圣与物质世界中的作用?Avicenna,他那庞大的哲学体系,对智性的探讨无疑是其中的重要组成部分。我尤其感兴趣的是他关于“心灵”与“智性”的区分,以及他对“通灵者”(Active Intellect)的阐释,这如何影响了他对人类获得知识的理解。Averroes,作为亚里士多德的忠实诠释者,他对智性的理解,是否与亚里士多德的本意更为贴近,他对“统一智性”的观点,在当时引发了怎样的争论,又对后世产生了怎样的影响?这本书的书名暗示着一种比较性的研究,我希望作者能够清晰地呈现这三位思想家在智性问题上的异同,他们是如何在前人的基础上不断发展和完善关于智性的理论的。这不仅仅是知识的罗列,更是一种思想的碰撞和对话,能够帮助我理解这三位巨匠如何共同构建了伊斯兰哲学中关于智性论的辉煌篇章。
评分The very mention of *Alfarabi, Avicenna and Averroes on Intellect* immediately conjures images of intellectual giants wrestling with the most fundamental questions of human existence. My interest lies in how this book will illuminate the intricate tapestry of their respective theories of intellect. Alfarabi's role as a synthesizer of Greek philosophy into the Islamic context is particularly compelling; I am curious about how he adapted concepts like Plato's Forms and Aristotle's Unmoved Mover to formulate his own understanding of the intellect, and whether his emphasis on emanation shaped his view of how humans acquire knowledge. Avicenna's expansive metaphysical system, I suspect, offers a detailed exploration of the intellect; I am keen to understand his psychological framework, his distinctions between the various powers of the soul, and his specific formulation of the Active Intellect as the source of illumination and knowledge for the human mind. Averroes, as the preeminent Aristotelian commentator of his era, offers a unique perspective; I am eager to examine his interpretation of Aristotle's discussions on the intellect, particularly his detailed analysis of potential versus actual intellect, and his controversial proposition regarding the unity of the intellect, which sparked significant debate across medieval thought. The title itself promises a comparative analysis, and I anticipate a rigorous examination of how these thinkers engaged with, critiqued, and built upon each other's ideas regarding the nature, function, and ultimate destiny of the human intellect, thereby offering a comprehensive overview of a crucial development in philosophical history.
评分读罢 Alfarabi, Avicenna, and Averroes on Intellect 的书名,我脑海中立刻浮现出那个充满学术争鸣和思想碰撞的时代。这三位伟大的哲学家,各自以其独特的智慧,为人类对“智性”的理解贡献了不可磨灭的篇章。我关注的重点在于,这本书将如何展现他们之间关于智性的论述是怎样既相互联系又相互区别的。Alfarabi 作为开创者,他如何吸收希腊哲学,特别是柏拉图和亚里士多德的思想,并将其融入到自己的智性理论中?Avicenna 又是如何在他庞大的哲学体系中,对智性进行精细的划分和阐述,例如他关于“感官印象”如何被“智性”所吸收和加工的过程,以及他对“心灵”与“智性”的区分。而 Averroes,作为最重要的亚里士多德学者之一,他又如何解读亚里士多德的“智性”概念,尤其是“统一智性”理论,以及这个理论对当时哲学界产生的巨大影响。这本书的书名简洁而有力,暗示着它将提供一个全面的视角,来审视这三位哲学家在智性问题上的贡献。我期待的不仅仅是知识的获取,更是一种思想的激荡,能够看到他们是如何在各自的思想体系中,对智性这个人类认识能力的核心进行界定、发展和升华,从而为我们理解人类的认知本质提供更深刻的洞察。
评分初次翻阅这本书,我便被其开篇营造出的那种宏大历史叙事所吸引。它不仅仅是在介绍三位哲学家的思想,更是在重现那个思想活跃、文化交流频繁的时代背景。Alfarabi, Avicenna, and Averroes on Intellect,这个书名本身就勾勒出了一个清晰的研究框架。我尤其关注的是,作者是如何将这三位思想家在“智性”这一概念上的论述进行有机整合的。要知道,即便都是探讨智性,他们的出发点、方法论以及最终结论都可能大相径庭。例如,Alfarabi 作为“第二导师”,他的新柏拉图主义倾向可能在智性观上与 Avicenna 更加侧重于本体论和心理学的解读有所不同。而 Averroes,作为对亚里士多德的注释者,他又会如何解读前两位以及亚里士多德的智性理论呢?我迫不及待地想了解他们对“智性”的层级划分,比如,是否区分了低级智性(如感性智性)和高级智性(如理性智性),以及这些不同层级的智性是如何运作的。此外,这本书的书名也暗示了对他们思想中的“共性”与“差异”的探讨,这对于理解伊斯兰哲学内部的思想发展脉络至关重要。我很期待看到作者如何抽丝剥茧,揭示这三位思想家在智性问题上的论辩艺术,他们是如何在继承前人思想的基础上,又发展出自己独特的洞见,从而为后世的哲学研究提供了宝贵的财富。
评分这本书的书名就足够吸引我了,Alfarabi, Avicenna, and Averroes on Intellect,光是这三个名字,就足以让我联想到那个思想碰撞、智慧闪耀的伊斯兰黄金时代。我一直对那个时期哲学的发展充满好奇,尤其是这些伟大的思想家是如何探讨“智性”这个核心概念的。智性,这个词本身就带着一种深邃和神秘,它涉及到我们如何认识世界,如何理解自身,甚至是我们与宇宙之间更深层次的联系。这三位哲学家,在各自的时代都扮演着举足轻重的角色,他们的思想体系庞大而复杂,各自又有其独到的见解。我非常期待这本书能够将他们关于智性的论述进行梳理和比较,或许能从中发现他们之间思想的传承、演变,甚至是微妙的冲突。毕竟,即便是同一概念,不同的思想家也会赋予其不同的解释和侧重。这本书的书名暗示了一种深入的学术研究,而非简单的罗列,我希望它能带领我走进他们的思想世界,去理解他们是如何构建和发展关于智性的理论的,比如,他们是否讨论了智性的来源,是先天的还是后天的?智性与感官经验的关系又是什么?智性是否能够达到一种超越物质的境界?这些都是我迫切想要在书中找到答案的问题。这本书的取向,对我来说,不仅仅是阅读,更像是一次思想的朝圣,去拜访那些塑造了西方哲学走向的巨匠们,去聆听他们跨越千年的对话。
评分The promise held within the title *Alfarabi, Avicenna and Averroes on Intellect* resonates deeply with my enduring fascination for the intellectual dynamism of the medieval Islamic world. I am looking forward to a scholarly exploration that delves into the core of their philosophical systems, specifically their theories of intellect. Alfarabi, whose synthesis of Greek philosophical traditions with Islamic theology was groundbreaking, likely presented a structured understanding of the intellect; I am keen to understand his classification of intellectual faculties and his view on the intellect's capacity to grasp universal truths, perhaps influenced by his political philosophy. Avicenna, whose comprehensive philosophical work spanned metaphysics, psychology, and epistemology, surely offered a sophisticated analysis of the intellect; I am particularly interested in his intricate psychological framework, his conception of the Active Intellect as the ultimate source of knowledge and the mediator between the human soul and the divine, and how this understanding shaped his views on human perfectibility. Averroes, the champion of Aristotelianism in the Islamic West, provides a crucial perspective on the intellect; my anticipation lies in his detailed commentary on Aristotle's works, especially his engagement with the concepts of potential and actual intellect, and his influential, yet debated, theory of the unity of the intellect, which had a profound impact on subsequent philosophical debates in both the Islamic and Western traditions. The title strongly suggests a comparative and analytical approach, and I anticipate a rigorous examination that will clearly articulate the similarities and differences in their conceptions of the intellect, thereby illuminating a crucial chapter in the history of philosophical thought on human cognition and its ultimate potential.
评分读到 Alfarabi, Avicenna, and Averroes on Intellect 这个书名,我立刻被吸引住了,因为这三位名字代表着伊斯兰哲学黄金时代中最具影响力的思想家。我对此类著作的期待,在于它们如何深入探究这三位哲学家对于“智性”这一核心概念的阐释。Alfarabi,作为“第二导师”,他如何将新柏拉图主义的观念融入到对智性的理解中,他是否将智性视为连接神圣智慧与人类理性的桥梁?Avicenna,他以其系统性的哲学体系而闻名,我非常想了解他在智性上的具体论述,例如他如何区分不同层级的智性,以及他著名的“通灵者”理论如何解释人类的认知能力。Averroes,作为亚里士多德的重要诠释者,他对智性的理解,无疑会与亚里士多德的原意紧密相连。我特别关注他关于“可能智性”和“现实智性”的区分,以及他对“统一智性”的观点,这些观点在当时引发了怎样的哲学辩论?这本书的书名暗示着一种对这三位思想家关于智性论述的比较与分析,我期望能够看到作者是如何梳理出他们之间思想的传承、发展与差异,从而为我们理解智性在伊斯兰哲学中的演变提供清晰的脉络。这不仅仅是对古代思想的复述,更是对人类智慧如何跨越时空进行深刻探讨的一次重要探索。
评分When I saw the title *Alfarabi, Avicenna and Averroes on Intellect*, I was immediately drawn to the opportunity to explore the profound philosophical inquiries of three towering figures from the Islamic intellectual tradition. My expectation is that this book will meticulously dissect their diverse yet interconnected perspectives on the concept of intellect. Alfarabi, the pioneer who bridged classical Greek philosophy with Islamic thought, likely presented a complex, perhaps Neoplatonic-influenced, view of the intellect as a hierarchical emanation; I am eager to see how he conceptualized the intellect's role in apprehending higher realities and in guiding human affairs. Avicenna, whose systematic philosophical edifice is legendary, undoubtedly offered a detailed account of the intellect; I am particularly interested in his intricate model of the soul and intellect, his differentiation of the passive intellect and the active intellect, and how these concepts inform his epistemology and his understanding of human spiritual ascent. Averroes, celebrated for his masterful commentaries on Aristotle, represents a critical link to the Aristotelian tradition; my anticipation centers on his exegesis of Aristotle's theories of intellect, specifically his nuanced treatment of the distinction between potential and actual intellect, and his provocative thesis concerning the oneness of the intellect, a concept that generated considerable controversy and subsequent philosophical development. The title clearly signals a comparative approach, and I hope to gain a deep appreciation for how these thinkers engaged with the notion of intellect, revealing both their shared intellectual heritage and their distinct philosophical contributions to this vital area of inquiry.
评分Upon encountering the title *Alfarabi, Avicenna and Averroes on Intellect*, my immediate thought was of the rich philosophical legacy emanating from the Islamic Golden Age. I am particularly drawn to how this book will unpack the multifaceted concept of "intellect" as understood by these three pivotal figures. Alfarabi, often hailed as the "Second Teacher," laid foundational groundwork by synthesizing Hellenistic thought with Islamic cosmology; I am eager to explore his hierarchical understanding of intellect and its role in bridging the material and the divine. Avicenna, with his encyclopedic approach to philosophy, surely offered a nuanced perspective; I am keen to understand his distinctions between various faculties of the soul and the intellect, especially his influential concept of the Active Intellect and its implications for human cognition and the acquisition of knowledge. Averroes, renowned for his extensive commentaries on Aristotle, presents a crucial lens through which to view Aristotelian doctrines; my anticipation lies in understanding his interpretation of the intellect, particularly his views on potential and actual intellect, and his controversial theory of the unity of the intellect, which profoundly shaped subsequent philosophical discourse. The book's title suggests a comparative study, and I look forward to a clear delineation of the convergences and divergences in their theories of intellect, revealing how their individual insights contributed to a complex and evolving philosophical tradition. This is not merely an academic exercise, but an opportunity to delve into the very nature of human understanding as conceived by some of history's most profound thinkers.
评分一本关于 Alfarabi, Avicenna, and Averroes on Intellect 的书,在我看来,其价值绝不仅仅在于对三位哲学家的生平和理论的简单介绍,更在于它如何深入挖掘他们关于“智性”这一核心概念的复杂性和多维度性。我期待这本书能够呈现出他们思想体系的深度和广度,尤其是在智性这个抽象概念上的具体阐释。例如,Avicenna 关于“心灵”与“智性”之间的关系,他提出的“通灵者”(Active Intellect)概念,以及这种概念如何影响了他对人类认识能力的理解,这都是我非常感兴趣的部分。同时,Averroes 作为亚里士多德思想的重要传播者,他对亚里士多德“智性”理论的解释,特别是对“可能智性”和“现实智性”的区分,以及他对于“个体智性”是否能够与“普遍智性”相结合的论证,都是极具挑战性和启发性的。这本书的书名表明了它将这三位巨匠的思想进行并置和比较,这本身就是一项艰巨的任务。我希望能看到作者如何在不失严谨性的前提下,清晰地梳理出他们之间思想上的联系和区别,比如,他们对“智性”的普遍性与个体性的看法,以及他们如何看待智性在人类获得真理和幸福过程中的作用。这本书的厚度让我对其内容的丰富性充满了期待,相信它会是一次对伊斯兰哲学智慧的深度探索。
