Abstract

The separated intellects play a crucial but notoriously controversial role within the Neoplatonic systems of al-Fārābī and Avicenna. While both thinkers provide an array of proofs to support the existence of such immaterial substances, the most enduring of these is based on a metaphysical rule of Avicenna’s metaphysics known as the “rule of one” (qāʿidat al-wāḥid): that from the One, only one proceeds (lā yaṣdur ʿan l-wāḥid illā l-wāḥid). The following paper explores the various ways in which Avicenna defended this principle and traces their reception in the post-classical period, thereby showing how vigorously the question of emanation was debated among scholars of the later medieval period.

“从一而来，只有一”

分离的知识分子在al-Fārābī和阿维森纳的新柏拉图主义体系中扮演着至关重要但又极具争议的角色。虽然两位思想家都提供了一系列证据来支持这种非物质实体的存在，但其中最持久的是基于阿维森纳形而上学的一个形而上学规则，即所谓的“一的规则”(qi ā idat al-wāḥid):从一出发，只有一个(li ā yaṣdur ā an l-wāḥid il ā l-wāḥid)。下面的论文探讨了阿维森纳捍卫这一原则的各种方式，并追溯了他们在后古典时期的接受情况，从而展示了中世纪后期学者之间对辐射问题的争论是多么激烈。

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.
