Awerroes cytaty

Awerroes – filozof, teolog, lekarz, prawnik, polityk i matematyk arabski z Kordowy, wygnany za nieprawowierne poglądy filozoficzne; zmarł na wygnaniu w Marrakeszu.

Awerroes był zafascynowany filozofią Arystotelesa, którego uważał za największego człowieka w dziejach i którego dzieła komentował. Najbardziej znana jest jego teoria „dwóch prawd” oraz poglądy na duszę ludzką. Uważał on, że jest ona nieśmiertelna tylko jako jedna dusza ludzkości, a indywidualne dusze giną po śmierci ciała. Awerroes starał się uzgodnić swoje poglądy filozoficzne z ortodoksyjną teologią islamską, twierdząc, że prawdy religijne są inną interpretacją prawd, które odkrywa filozofia, ale nie ma między nimi sprzeczności.

Za pośrednictwem Awerroesa zachodni uczeni poznali większość dzieł Arystotelesa, a razem z nimi klasyczną logikę. Jego przekłady na arabski zostały przez hiszpańskich i sycylijskich uczonych przełożone na łacinę, co miało ogromne znaczenie dla studiów scholastycznych.

Jego komentarze były tak trafne, że za Tomaszem z Akwinu Awerroes był nazywany po prostu Komentatorem. Tomasz z Akwinu przeciwstawiał się jednak w kilku istotnych kwestiach Awerroesowi i jego uczniom, np. co do twierdzenia, że można dowieść wieczności świata. Akwinata bronił twierdzenia, że świat został stworzony przez Boga z niczego . Polemizował z tymi poglądami w dziełku O wieczności świata przeciw szemrzącym oraz w Sumie przeciw poganom II, 31-38. Tomasz bronił też nieśmiertelności i indywidualności duszy ludzkiej.

Oddziaływały także jego poglądy: Siger z Brabancji był założycielem szkoły filozoficznej określanej jako awerroizm łaciński.

“Philosophers do not claim that God does not know particulars; they rather claim that He does not know them the way humans do. God knows particulars as their Creator whereas humans know them as a privileged creations of God might know them.”

“To master this instrument the religious thinker must make a preliminary study of logic, just as the lawyer must study legal reasoning. This is no more heretical in the one case than in the other. And logic must be learned from the ancient masters, regardless of the fact that they were not Muslims.”

“If we admit the existence of the prophetic mission, by putting the idea of possibility, which is in fact ignorance, in place of certainty, and make miracles a proof of the truth of man who claims to be a prophet it becomes necessary that they should not be used by a person, who says that they can be performed by others than prophets, as the Mutakallimun do.”

“The texts about the future life fall into, since demonstrative scholars do not agree whether to take them in their apparent meaning or interpret them allegorically. Either is permissible. But it is inexcusable to deny the fact of a future life altogether.”

The Decisive Treatise

“[In the introduction to his Middle Commentary on Aristotle's Topics, Averroes said] This art has three parts. The first part sets forth the speeches from which dialectical conversation is composed — i. e., its parts, and the parts of its parts on to its simplest components. This part is found in the first treatise on Aristotle's book.
The second part sets forth the topics from which syllogisms are drawn — syllogisms for affirming something or denying it with respect to every kind of problem occurring in this art. This is the next six treatises of Aristotle's book
The third part set forth how The third part sets forth how the questioner ought to question and the answerer answer. It also sets forth how many kinds of questions and answers there are. This is in the eighth treatise of Aristotle's book.”

“After logic we must proceed to philosophy proper. Here too we have to learn from our predecessors, just as in mathematics and law. Thus it is wrong to forbid the study of ancient philosophy. Harm from it is accidental, like harm from taking medicine, drinking water, or studying law.”
