Abstract

Abstract The Letter on the Soul is interesting and significant; it attempts to tackle fundamental problems that fall on the borderlines of psychology, epistemology, metaphysics, philosophy of mind, and logic. The consensus among Avicenna scholars is that The Letter is Avicenna’s. In this paper, I will argue against this consensus. I will examine the philosophical and logical content of The Letter, as well as Avicenna’s view on the impossible forms in his authentic works, and construct a content-based argument against the authenticity of The Letter. This study, I hope, sheds some light on Avicenna’s view on the impossibilia, what they are, and how they can be apprehended.

阿维森纳关于不可能的信关于灵魂的重访

《灵魂的信》有趣而有意义;它试图解决处于心理学、认识论、形而上学、心灵哲学和逻辑学边缘的基本问题。阿维森纳学者的共识是《信》是阿维森纳的。在本文中，我将反对这种共识。我将研究《信》的哲学和逻辑内容，以及阿维森纳对其真实作品中不可能形式的看法，并构建一个基于内容的反对《信》真实性的论点。我希望这项研究能对阿维森纳关于“不可能”、“不可能”是什么以及如何理解“不可能”的观点有所启发。

期刊介绍： Arabic Sciences and Philosophy (ASP) is an international journal devoted to the Arabic sciences, mathematics and philosophy in the world of Islam between the eighth and eighteenth centuries, in a cross-cultural context. In 2009, the journal extended its scope to include important papers on scientific modernization from the nineteenth century in the Islamic world. Together with original studies on the history of all these fields, ASP also offers work on the inter-relations between Arabic and Greek, Indian, Chinese, Latin, Byzantine, Syriac and Hebrew sciences and philosophy. Casting new light on the growth of these disciplines, as well as on the social and ideological context in which this growth took place, ASP is essential reading for those interested in these areas.
