«نقد و بررسي تقرير ابن سينا از آموزه هاي عرفاني»

A critique of Avicennaʹʹs Account of Mystical Precept

ابن سينا، رييس فيلسوفان عالم اسلام، با اينكه در قرون وسطي زندگي مي كرد، ولي هرگز روحيه و انديشه قرون وسطايي نداشته است. او همچون فيلسوفان دوره تجديد حيات علمي و فرهنگي ، مخالف هر نوع تحجر و تقليد بود و سند درستي هر امري را عقل و تجربه مي شناخته و براي انكار چيزي تا دليل و برهان روشني نمي يافته، آن را در بوته امكان مي نهاده است . اين عالم بزرگ، شهود عرفا و كرامات اوليا را از نگاه عقل ممكن مي دانسته و در برخي از رسالات و كتاب هايش به توجيه فلسفي آن ها پرداخته است. با اين وجود از مطالعه احوال و آثار وي بر مي آيد كه او هرگز به سير و سلوك نپرداخته و راه و روش صوفيان را در پيش نگرفته است.

Avicenna, can be regarded as the most prominent of Islamic philosophers. Despite the fact that he lived in the medieval era, he did not follow the medieval line of thought. He was rather like Renaissance thinkers in opposing any sort of narrow-minded dogmatism and blind imitation of the ancients as well as in relying on reason and experiment as the only touchstone of truth and never rejected a belief before he found conclusive evidence in its refutation and meanwhile regarded it as possible. That is why he considered the intuitive findings of mystics and the miracles of saints as logically possible and in some of his works sought to provide philosophical justifications for them. However drawing on evidence from Avicennaʹs life, we will to show that he never set foot on the path of mystic quest and neither did he adopt a Sufiʹs life style. Key words: Avicenna, mysticism, reason and logic, mystic intuition, the miracles and spiritual states of mystics, Divine love
