Abstract

In the more than 125 years since A.F. Mehren included Chapters VIII–X of al-Išārāt wa-l-tanbīhāt in his anthology of Ibn Sīnā’s allegedly mystical treatises, scholars have used the presence of Sufi vocabulary in these chapters as evidence of Ibn Sīnā’s mysticism. Yet, his use of Sufi terminology has received little dedicated, critical study. Through careful philological analysis, this study demonstrates that even though Ibn Sīnā appropriated technical vocabulary from Sufism, the meanings that he applied to those terms agree with his philosophical system. His use of these terms is not evidence of experimentation with a mystical, suprarational method of cognition.

苏菲词汇，但阿维森南哲学

自从A.F. Mehren将al-Išārāt wa-l-tanbīhāt的第八至十章收录在他的伊本·桑努伊的所谓神秘主义论文选集以来，已有超过125年的时间，学者们使用这些章节中苏菲词汇的存在作为伊本·桑努伊神秘主义的证据。然而，他对苏菲派术语的使用很少得到专门的、批判性的研究。通过仔细的文字学分析，本研究表明，尽管伊本·桑努伊挪用了苏菲主义的专业词汇，但他对这些术语的含义与他的哲学体系是一致的。他对这些术语的使用并不是用神秘的、超然的认知方法进行实验的证据。

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.
