Abstract

This study investigates the problem of the natural universal ( kullī ṭabīʿī ) in the works of Mullā Ṣadrā (d. 1640). The problem of universals made its way into Arabic/Islamic philosophy via its Greek sources, and was transformed into the problem of natural universals by Avicenna. Weighing in on this problem, Ṣadrā reinterprets the nature of natural universals against the backdrop of his doctrine of “the primacy of being.” As he argues, a natural universal or quiddity qua quiddity is an “accidental being” that requires wujūd for its existentiation. Thus, Ṣadrā re-envisions the status of natural universals by stripping them of their disputed status as independently existing entities.

MullĀ ṢadrĀ关于自然共相的问题

本研究探讨毛拉Ṣadrā(约1640年)著作中关于自然宇宙的问题。共相的问题通过其希腊来源进入阿拉伯/伊斯兰哲学，并被阿维森纳转化为自然共相的问题。考虑到这个问题，Ṣadrā在他的“存在至上”学说的背景下重新解释了自然共相的本质。正如他所说，一个自然的普遍或本质本质是一个“偶然的存在”，它的存在需要wujūd。因此，Ṣadrā重新设想了自然共相的地位，剥离了它们作为独立存在实体的有争议的地位。

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.
