摘要
对Ammār对自由的理解的研究补充了先前对阿拉伯基督教对这一主题的表述的研究。研究将它们与叙利亚传统中的ḥērūṯā概念或基督教-穆斯林争议的背景联系起来。我证明在Ammār的讨论中,在术语-词汇层面上,与伊斯兰思想的接触不太明显,而叙利亚的影响以及教父和希腊哲学的相似之处可以被识别出来。通过对大量段落的仔细阅读,我重构了他的术语的含义,并将出现的词汇按主题分为以下几个单位:自由(ḥurriyya,源自ḥ-r-r,相关或同义表达);2. 容量,选择(istiṭā ' a, iḫtiyār);3.。获得,应得,需要(iktisāb, istiḥqāq, istīğāb);4. 意图,道德责任。
Ḥurriyya – Freedom, Human ‘Will’, and Related Notions in ‘Ammār al-Baṣrī’s Kitāb al-masāʾil wa-l-aǧwiba
The study of ‘Ammār’s understanding of freedom complements previous research on Arabic Christian formulations of the subject. Studies either relate them to the concept of ḥērūṯā in Syriac tradition or the context of Christian-Muslim controversy. I demonstrate that in ‘Ammār’s discussion, on a terminological-lexical level, engagement with Islamic thought is less evident while Syriac influences and Patristic and Greek philosophical parallels can be identified. I reconstruct the meanings of his terms through a close reading of extensive passages and group the occurrences lexically-thematically into the following units: 1. freedom (ḥurriyya, derivations from ḥ-r-r, related or synonymous expressions); 2. capacity, choice (istiṭā‘a, iḫtiyār); 3. acquisition, deserving, necessitating (iktisāb, istiḥqāq, istīğāb); 4. intentions, moral responsibility.
