It is high time Muslims realize how wonderful and intellectual Islamic Philosophical tradition as put up by Avivenna and those after him is. How it helped in development of sciences, philosophy and mysticism. And how this same framework can be used by Muslims once again to bring back the Islamic Golden Age of Reason and Rationality. The hope is high. All that is required is that Muslims return back to the works of these sages.

Avicenna held beliefs that contradict the Qur'an like the pre-eternality of the world.

[@IslamicPhilosophers]

@@vedon_z The belief of the pre eternity of the world does not contradict Quran. You can read Ibn Rushd on it who was also a Faqih. He has explained the issue in detail. It is a philosophical issue. Both the theologians and Philosophers agree that it universe is created.

[@sonarbangla8711]

As the prophet (SM) himself was first a Jew. many Jewish ideas/concepts crept into Islam. For example the prophet introduced many scientific ideas/theories into Quran, and were proved right. But Islam claims Jin, who can change their garb into some other person or animal and deceive people is not correct, without any examples. As for philosophy they studied Greek, Egyptian and Indian philosophy and even improvised on them. The Persians carried the Jewish traditions even long after the prophet's time.

I think Prof. Sayyid Husain Nasr, (Iranian born) but living and working in the US since the 80s, would be an interesting person to invite, as would Prof. Dr. Sajjad Rizvi (Exeter, UK), esp, since the latter is a specialist on Saaddruddin Shirazi, the Islamic Philosopher the West is only now starting to grapple with. The French scholars Henri Corbin first introduced him to the West. Yet another name is Prof. Saiyad Nizamuddin Ahmad who has published a critical Arabic edition of Ibn Arabi's 'Fusus al-Hikam' (Bezels of Wisdom), an absolutely fascinating book! Would love to know more about that.

That's an excellent episode 👏 professor Adamson is a well informed and nice speaker, please let's have more episodes with him to talk about other Islamic philosophy figures and ideas. A little anecdote: Ibn Sina recounted that he was so talented that in his early youth he had no need for teachers and relied entirely on self learning. One day he found Aristotle's book of metaphysics, he read it from cover to cover without understanding anything of it, then with patience he reread it but still understood nothing, then he read it again and again until he involuntarily memorised the whole text of the book without understanding it so he left it thinking that there's no good in trying to understand it. One day he was sitting with some book sellers and one approached him with a book, when Ibn Sina asked the seller about its subject he replied that it was metaphysics, Ibn Sina shunned but the seller begged him to buy it because its scribe was in need of money, so he bought it eventually. When he opened it he found that it was Al-Farabi's commentary on Aristotle's metaphysics which he wrote to explain it for the readers, by reading this book Ibn Sina finally understood Aristotle's metaphysics which made him so happy that he gave a lot of charity to the poor to thank Allah for making him understand it.

Great discussion as always brother Paul. Prof. Adamson was certainly refreshing from your last guest. It's unfortunate the Prof. did not speak more broadly about Islamic Philosophy & about Ibn Sina's works. Though it is not true that Greek Philosophy pre-Ibn Sina was thought of as "Christian" practice. Certainly, the Nestorian christians did translate Aristotle & others into Arabic, but they had very limited presence in the practice of Falsafa beyond that. The influential Christians among them were often coverts to Islam, such as Ibn Qurra, Ibn Barakat, Ibn Arafa & others. It is also not true that Arabs were marginally present in Islamic Philosophy. For one, the founder of Falsafa itself is Arab, al-Kindi, who wrote some 250 works on the subject. & the western school of Falsafa (mainly in Andalusia) is virtually comprised of Arabs, such as Ibn Rushd, Ibn Tufayl, Tufi & others... albeit less influential (at least in the Muslim world) than the easter school, led by philosophers like al-Farabi & Ibn Sina. As to Ibn Sina's contributions, they are so much greater than what Prof. Adamson mentioned. For instance, conditional propositions in Logic, & Quantification of predicates, which opened the door to set theory & one-to-one correspondence. Both ideas would only be adopted in Western Logic until 19th century by philosophers such as William Hamilton & Bertrand Russel. In Medicine, his Canon of Medicine was one of three most influential medical encyclopedias for over half a millennium (along with the Hawi of Razi & Tasrif of Zahrawi). Fakhr Razi's commentary on the Canon was standard medical textbook across the Muslim world. The guy talks about a million things, it's impossible to show his greatness in a few lines. As to Islamic Philosophy. There are three main branches, each with different schools. The Kalam branch (which constitute the bulk of Islamic philosophical output), the Falsafa branch (legacy to Greek philosophy), & the Haqiqa branch (mystical philosophy). The Kalam branch is mainly driven by two schools, the Asha'ira (the Sunni school) & the Mutazila (the many other schools are marginal compared to these two). The Falsafa branch can be categorized into 3 phases, the initial phase, led by al-Kindi, which looks like a reconciliation & consolidation of Greek philosophy with Islamic theology. The second phase, led by al-Farabi, then Ibn Sina, which constitutes an independent paradigm of natively Islamic & Arabic philosophical thought, which a much broader & elaborate body of knowledge than Greek philosophy. The third is the post-Ghazali Falsafa, which is essentially a reconciliation of the former with the Asha'ari thought. On the other end, Hikmah replaces Falsafa & is consolidated into the broader Ash'ari Kalam tradition, finalized by Fakhr Din Razi in the 12th century. The mystical branch pioneered by great mystics like Muhasibi & Talibi, is eventually also consolidated into the Ash'ari Sunni tradition first by al-Ghazali, but also Razi, Shahrastani, Ibn Sabeen & others. By the time of Fakhr Razi, Islamic Philosophy in general became virtually equivalent with Ash'aria. As to argument from contingency. Without going into the technical details. Ibn Sina argues from sufficient cause principle, that is God (illiyah), hence the Will of God is itself the existence of God. Which the Sunnis (namely Ghazali) find unconvincing, because this undermines the Free Will of God. As beautiful as the argument is, it badly needed improvements, hence the Burhan Imkan, the latest version of Ibn Sina's proof. The main contentions Ghazali find with Ibn Sina's proof are: one, it assumes time is absolute & God is timely, which he deems wrong, for time is relative & is merely an accident created by God, He can not be contingent on it. Things occur in single instances, which appear to us as if time is absolute. The Universe may thus be eternal (in time), but can not be everlasting (without time). Two: that essence precedes existence, which the Asharis find issue with, since these two concepts are not formally linked. As such the Asharis will also find issue with the modern time trend of Existencialism in the West (that existence precedes essence), which Razi argues means essence & existence are identical, which they clearly aren't. Three, efficient causations is not necessary as Ibn Sina contends. The order of events is just apparent...etc...etc. This needs a whole lecture to explain, so... Ibn Sina's argument is indeed a very powerful argument, but needed to be polished from the hidden assumptions it had. The fact is, the Universe may have the appearance to be eternal, but it could've happened in an instance & we'd be none the wiser. Fakhr Razi even argues that we could have an infinite amount of universes & it wouldn't change a thing, for to a timeless & spaceless & immaterial noncontingent God, it's all but a dot, a countless amount of dots is still a dot. As to the falling man thought experiment. It is originally meant to show the existence of the mental plain. The Asharis (like Ghazali & Razi) use it to discuss the Necessary Reason, that is the essential rational capacity of the human being as they are born without any nurture, i.e. nature. What you know you know such that you can not not know you know. For instance, to know that opposites do not concur. A falling man without senses will still be unable to conceive of a square circle. Al-Ghazali goes further into the thought experiment exploring the spherical human, such that their perception is spherical, they would be a one dimensional being, unaware of distance & directions (since all directions are identical to him), hence some level of idealism. & also exploring the Nature of the predatory animal if we literally remove his body (& not just mask his senses), at what point would the wolf, for instance, stop having the nature of a wolf (to prey on sheep) if we remove his different body parts shy of death. He wonders what body part exactly has the wolfiness, since none has it, then it must not be in the body, it must be beyond the body, i.e. the soul.

Interesting, one point I will make is that the Greeks got their knowledge from the Kemit or from Egypt, yes even their philosophy they didn't get it out thin air, the Greeks studied the Egyptian mystery system. The lecture is okay, but we must understand whatever philosophy that Muslim scholars may have been taken from Christian or Greeks sources, Islam placed that philosophy under a Islamic microscope. The result was some good and some bad. Muslims must always check whatever non Muslim "authorities ", say about Islam under the test by consulting with Muslim authorities and scholars.

Ibn Taimia was highly influenced by Moses Ibn Maimon, the Jewish Philosopher, and strangely enough his followers, namely Wahabists and Salafis have always been trying to hide this fact. Perhaps because he is very controversial in the sense that he believes that God has a body(حاشي لله) forgetting the essence of Tawheed and that is:ليس كمثله شي. So when we talk about Ibn Taimia we need to read all his work to try to grasp what path he takes.

Science has proven that time is not linear. It is relative by nature. That fact, coupled with the accepted notion that we exist in a process that is eternal in the future direction, suggests to me that eternity in the past direction is more likely than is a finite past.

That was interesting! There is huge potential for new ideas, in order to help the world, in Iranian philosophy where Islam refined!!!not that one Arabs came to the world and ISIS is one the consequences of those ideas...👌❤

If philosophers wanted to know how god acts the only way is to get into shoes of the god. Otherwise they need confine themselves to elaboration of what god himself told. I request you to talk about the limitations of human thinking.

[@acethegreat2946]

That’s a terrible way to talk about Allah the Most High.

[@sajidaziz7752]

@@acethegreat2946 I am sorry if you felt annoyed but the philosophical framework are for how a human mind symbolises the god function. Its just my understanding. They are not talking about Allah (SWT). Allah has clearly explained his attributes in surah number 112 Al ikhlas. Allah is the only true god.

His comments on Ibn Sina are not correct. Ghazali was born a little after Ibn Sina and that's why he wrote against what Sina and Farabi wrote. Not becuase Sina was such a giant. Infact Ghazali called him a Kafir. How does that show any respect for Sina? This is all still the continuation of how Muslims just copied stuff from Aristotle or discussed what he wrote. All trying to show how Muslims didn't have a mind of their own. Really disappointing.

[@Hamza000h]

As subki called ibn Taymiyyah a kafir. Just because Shaykh x calls Shaykh y something doesnt mean shaykh y is that.

Islam and philosophy? Or is it the philosophy of Islam? Does the most perfect and absolute of religions need philosophy? Is it possible to do philosophy under the canons and restrictions of Islam?

[@Tskyn]

Has been done. Came into the West thanks to our ancestors as well.

[@Cwizes]

What do you mean by philosophy? As we define it as the construction of arguments based on reason that’s not necessarily derived from the scriptures in other words natural theology.

[@blade4048]

Quran always encourage us to think ponder and reflect. Scripture also has element of interpretation; which could differ from person to person. As long as our ideas don't directly conflict with it, i don't see any problem with it.

[Leibniz's contingency argument for God, clarified] Exhibit A: Ten whole, rational numbers 0-9 and their geometric counterparts 0D-9D. 0 and it's geometric counterpart 0D are: 1) whole 2) rational 3) not-natural (not-physical) 4) necessary 1-9 and their geometric counterparts 1D-9D are: 1) whole 2) rational 3) natural (physical) 4) contingent Newton says since 0 and 0D are "not-natural" ✅ then they are also "not-necessary" 🚫. Newton also says since 1-9 and 1D-9D are "natural" ✅ then they are also "necessary" 🚫. This is called "conflating" and is repeated throughout Newton's Calculus/Physics/Geometry/Logic. Leibniz does not make these fundamental mistakes. Leibniz's "Monadology" 📚 is 0 and it's geometric counterpart 0D. The Egyptians, Syrians, Greeks, Mathematicians, Plato (the Good on 0D-3D pyramid) and don't forget Jesus and John all speak of the Monad (number 0, geometry 0D, quantum SNF). 0D Monad (SNF) 1D Line (WNF) 2D Plane (EMF) 3D Volume (GF) We should all be learning Leibniz's Calculus/Physics/Geometry/Logic. Fibonacci sequence starts with 0 for a reason. The Fibonacci triangle is 0, 1, 2 (Not 1, 2, 3). Newton's 1D-4D "natural ✅ = necessary 🚫" universe is a contradiction. Natural does not mean necessary. Similar, yet different. Not-natural just means no spatial extension; zero size; exact location only. Necessary. Newtonian nonsense will never provide a Theory of Everything. Leibniz's Law of Sufficient Reason should be required reading 📚...

[@paulthomas281]

When Paul says "Why would a Muslim think this way??" This is essentialism. Muslims can't be essentialized, and therefore one can't ask "How could a Muslim think that". Many Muslims don't see the Qur'an as containing truths wholesale, but containing ideas.
