Abstract

This article discusses the Ašʿarī theologian Saʿd al-Dīn al-Taftāzānī’s (d. 793/1390) refutation of Akbarian metaphysics and the identification of absolute being (al-wuǧūd al-muṭlaq) with the Necessary Being, i.e. God, in his summa Šarḥ al-Maqāṣid. Al-Taftāzānī argues that the Akbarians are amateur philosophers who misappropriated the philosophical tradition. If absolute being were identified with God, we would not be able to say that anything else is, leading to monism. Instead al-Taftāzānī argues that absolute being is a mind-dependent concept. Al-Taftāzānī’s refutation reveals the contested nature of the Avicennan legacy and the important role of the Akbarian school in its development.

Al-Taftāzānī对阿克巴形而上学的反驳与绝对存在与必要存在的认同

本文讨论了asi - al- aru神学家Sa ' d al- d n al-Taftāzānī(公元793/1390年)在他的总结Šarḥ al-Maqāṣid中对阿克巴形而上学的驳斥和对绝对存在(al-wuǧūd al-muṭlaq)与必然存在(即上帝)的认同。Al-Taftāzānī认为阿克巴派是盗用哲学传统的业余哲学家。如果绝对存在等同于上帝，我们就不能说其他任何东西都是，导致一元论。相反，al-Taftāzānī认为绝对存在是一个依赖于心灵的概念。Al-Taftāzānī的反驳揭示了阿维森纳遗产的争议性，以及阿克巴学派在其发展中的重要作用。

期刊介绍： Oriens is dedicated to extending our knowledge of intellectual history and developments in the rationalist disciplines in Islamic civilization, with a special emphasis on philosophy, theology, and science. These disciplines had a profoundly rich and lasting life in Islamic civilization and often interacted in complex ways--from the period of their introduction to Islamic civilization in the translation movement that began in the eighth century, through the early and classical periods of development, to the post-classical age, when they shaped even such disciplines as legal theory and poetics. The journal''s range extends from the early and classical to the early modern periods (ca. 700-1900 CE) and it engages all regions and languages of Islamic civilization. In the tradition of Hellmut Ritter, who founded Oriens in 1948, the central focus of interest of the journal is on the medieval and early modern periods of the Near and Middle East. Within this framework, the opening up of the sources and the pursuit of philological and historical research based on original source material is the main concern of its editors and contributors. In addition to individual articles, Oriens welcomes proposals for thematic volumes within the series.
