Abstract
Abū l-Yusr al-Bazdawī (d. 493/1100) was a notable early Māturīdite theologian who made an important contribution to the formation of his school by embracing kalām and promoting the image of al-Māturīdī (d. 333/944) as a Sunnite leader when the science was not yet popular in his region of Transoxania. This produced some tension in his thought as he negotiated rationalist and traditionalist doctrines and their adherents. Indications of this are found in his discussion of God’s speech in which he argues for the Sunnite doctrine of eternal divine speech while effectively affirming the createdness of scriptures; at the same time, he defends those who assert the uncreatedness of the Quran and maintains that God’s speech is truly written, memorized, recited, and heard.
abi - yusr al- bazdawi(公元493/1100年)是一位著名的早期Māturīdite神学家,当科学在Transoxania地区还不流行时,他通过拥护kalām并推广al-Māturīdī(公元333/944年)作为逊尼派领袖的形象,为他的学派的形成做出了重要贡献。这在他的思想中产生了一些紧张,因为他与理性主义和传统主义学说及其追随者进行了谈判。这方面的迹象可以在他对上帝话语的讨论中找到,他为逊尼派关于永恒神圣话语的教义辩护,同时有效地肯定了经文的创造;与此同时,他也为那些主张《古兰经》是非创造的人辩护,并坚持认为真主的话语确实是被写下来、被记忆、被背诵和被听到的。
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.
