Bu makalede Fârâbî’nin akıl
risalesinin tarihsel konumu üzerinde durulmakta ve içerik analizi
yapılmaktadır. Eserin bütün boyutlarıyla incelenmesi geniş kapsamlı bir
çalışmayı gerektirdiğinden, risalenin görece daha temel konularından bilginin
oluşumu, aklın aşamaları Aristoteles ve kısmen İskender ve Themistius gibi
yorumcuların ilgili fikirleriyle karşılaştırılarak sunulmaktadır. Diğer
taraftan Risale fi’l Akl’da
kelamcıların akıl anlayışına yönelik eleştiri, kelamcıların akılla ilgili
fikirleri göz önünde bulundurularak tartışılmaktadır.
RfA’da en temel kavram intiza
(soyutlama) kavramıdır. Buna ek olarak aklın zât olarak tanımlanması da
Fârâbî’nin önemli tercihlerinden birisidir. Fârâbî’nin İkinci Analitiklerdeki
akıl kavramının yorumunda da Aristoteles’e özgün bir yorum getirdiği
görülmektedir. Makalenin amacı,
soyutlama teorisini merkeze alarak bu üç konuyu ve kelamcılara yönelik
eleştiriyi incelemektir.
The article consists of two parts. The first part deals with the place of Epistle on
Intellect written by Al Farabi in the tradition of epistles on intellect. In the second part
the epistle is analyzed in the context of the main concepts. Because the thorough study
of Epistle requires more comprehensive study, more central topics of Epistle such as
construction of knowledge, abstraction and degrees of intellect are discussed and partly
compared to the ideas of commentators such as Alexander Aphrodisias and Themistius.
The aim of this article is to scrutinize these three important topics placing the
theory of abstraction at the centre. In this context, the main claim of the article is that
Substance (Zat), Principle (Mabda), Abstraction (Intiza’) are the main concepts of
Epistle. The concept of ‘abstraction’ (intiza) is both an original contribution and key for
the explanation of the perfection of intellect which begins in the process of acquisition of
knowledge. Therefore, the focal point of article is the problems related to the process of
abstraction which starts at the beginning of knowledge acquisition and continues till the
unification with active intellect. Secondly, by inventing concepts ‘substance (zât) and
‘certain principle’ to explain human reason it is argued that Al Farabi made an
important addition to Aristotle’s definition of intellect in Posterior Analytics.
