Abstract

In the present paper, I assume that the notion of "truth" in philosophy would not have been clarified and tackled properly, if philosophers did not take into account earlier Arabic Medieval research contributions and build upon previous research findings. In the first place, I embark on the scrutiny of the rich aspect (or nature) of the Arabic Lexicon in terms of the "truth" meaning. In the second place, I take on the assumption that Arabic linguistic traditions imply different kinds of truths, depending on various spheres of human thoughts and actions based on the logical approach to "truth" (from Al-Kindi up to Averroes via Al-Farabi and Avicenna) and the term "al-haqiqha" as transliterated from Arabic, remain central. In conclusion, I take on an approach to "truth" that gives worth to logical perspectives at the very heart of Medieval Arab traditions in the light of what I would label as the "Omni-cultural Universality of Logic and Science".

2. Harmonisasi Filsafat Dengan Agama dalam Risalah al-Ḥilah Li Daf‘ al-Aḥzān Karya Al-Kindi: Terjemah Dan Analisa

Author

Fadhil, Ahmad

Abstract

This paper aims, firstly, to present a complete translation of the Risa>lah al-H}i>lah li Daf‘ al-Ah}za>n into Indonesian, and secondly, to suggest that al-Kindi has paved the way for the harmonization between religion with philosophy. Conducting research on al-Kindi’s philosophy is important because some Islamic Philosophy scholars almost ignored him and jumped into Ibnu Rusyd's book Fas}l al-Maqa>l as the major resource in this discourse. This paper uses a library research methodology. The translation of Risalah al-H}ilah li Daf‘ al-Ah}zan in this paper referred to the publication of this treatise edited by ‘Abd al-Rahman Badawi. This paper concludes that there are indicators of the influence of Stoicism, Socrates, and Aristotle in al-Kindi’s Risalah al-H}ilah li Daf‘ al-Ah}zan and has many relevancies with principles of Rational, Emotional, Behavioral Therapy (REBT). But, al-Kindi’s rational method of dealing with grief is also in line with the guidance of the Qur’an., Meskipun al-Kindi dijuluki sebagai Filsuf Muslim Pertama, namun dia bukanlah satu-satunya orang pada masanya yang memiliki orientasi rasional dalam memahami doktrin agama. Di dalam Risalah al-Hilah Li Daf‘ al-Ahzan dia menegaskan pentingnya kajian rasional untuk menjelaskan obat bagi salah satu penyakit hati, yaitu kesedihan. Dengan menggunakan metodologi penelitian kepustakaan, tulisan ini, setelah mempersembahkan terjemahan risalah tersebut ke dalam bahasa Indonesia secara lengkap, menjelaskan keterpengaruhan al-Kindi oleh teologi Muktazilah, pandangannya tentang cara mengobati kesedihan menjadi dasar bagi teori-teori psikologi modern seperti Behaviorisme.

3. Footprints of "Experiment" in Early Arabic Optics.

Author

Kheirandish, Elaheh

Subjects
SCIENCE & civilization, PHYSICS, PHYSICAL sciences, EXPERIMENTS, THOUGHT experiments, OPTICS
Abstract

This study traces the early developments of the concept of experiment with a view of extending the subject in both content and approach. It extends the content of the subject slightly backward, prior to the methodological breakthroughs of the Optics of Ibn al-Haytham (Alhazen or Alhacen, d. ca. 1040), which are credited as a "significant landmark in the history of experimental science." And it extends the approach to the subject slightly forward, from the premise that early science was "largely carried out in books," to a close examination of the books through which the footprints of 'experiment' may be traced. The point of departure is the Optics of Ahmad ibn 'Ī;sā, a revealing text for the early developments of concepts such as 'demonstration' and 'experiment', and one through which some modern discussions are examined and extended with reference to this and other historical sources.

Abstract

International audience; Arabic literature counts up several texts dealing with dispelling sorrow or avoiding grief. Before the discovery of Galen’s Peri Alupias, some of the editors or commentators of such Arabic treatises used to hypothesize that Galen’s treatise could be an influential model. This paper aims to offer a reappraisal of the question, focusing on two Arabic texts: On dispelling Sorrow of Al-Kindî and chapter 12 of Râzî’s Spiritual Medicine. Can we trace hints of Galen’s Peri alupias in their respective texts? The study investigates firstly the formal filiations we can draw between Galen and both Arabic authors and secondly it emphasizes the inheritance or the rejection of the Galenic technê alupias by al-Kindî and Râzî.
