This study—the first monograph devoted exclusively to al-Fārābī’s cosmology—provides a new interpretation of this thinker’s philosophical development through an analysis of the Greek and Arabic sources and a contextualization of his life and thought in the cultural and intellectual milieu of his time. It discusses key cosmological and metaphysical concepts articulated in his works, with a special focus on celestial causation, intellection, and motion. This book also examines al-Fārābī’s cosmological method and particularly the connection between astronomy, physics, and metaphysics. The result is a reassessment of al-Fārābī’s cosmology vis-à-vis late-antique Greek philosophical trends and a clearer understanding of how it creatively adapted and transformed this legacy to establish a new cosmological paradigm in Arabic thought.

Examines one of the most exciting and dynamic periods in the development of medieval Islam, from the late 9th to the early 11th century, through the thought of five of its principal thinkers, prime among them al-Farabi. This great Islamic philosopher, called 'the Second Master' after Aristotle, produced a recognizable school of thought in which others pursued and developed some of his own intellectual preoccupations. Their thought is treated with particular reference to the most basic questions which can be asked in the theory of knowledge or epistemology. The book thus fills a lacuna in the l

C'est un long cheminement qui a conduit la langue arabe de ses débuts à une expression philosophique. À partir du premier monument littéraire qui nous soit parvenu, le Coran, l'évolution a progressivement ajouté, à une langue et à une production très marquées par l'oralité, les caractères propres à l'écriture. À travers l'étude de la langue du Coran et du ḥadīṯ, à travers les disciplines religieuses comme le kalāmou le fiqh, à travers certaines formes littéraires, se sont longtemps manifestés les caractères de l'oralité. Tandis qu'avec les sciences et plus particulièrement la philosophie, les traits caractéristiques de l'écrit vont se trouver affirmés. C'est ce que cherchera à établir la seconde partie de ce travail en analysant ce que nous apporte l'œuvre de Farabi (870-950) dans sa réflexion sur le langage. Héritier des générations qui l'ont précédé, Farabi l'est aussi des grands penseurs de l'Antiquité grecque, et plus particulièrement de Platon et Aristote. Mais il réalisera une synthèse originale et posera une problématique qui lui est propre pour aborder, dans son Kitāb al-ḥurūf(Le livre des lettres), les questions de la naissance du langage et des sciences. Il en ressort un recours et un rapport au langage qui sont tout à fait différents de ceux de ses contemporains. Avec Farabi, la langue philosophique arabe est née, et cette langue a quitté le terrain de l'oralité pour celui de l'écrit. It was a long process which led the Arabic language from its beginnings to a philosophical expression. From the first literary masterpiece that was passed down to us, the Koran, evolution has progressively added, to a language and a literary output which were largely influenced by orality, characters peculiar to written tradition. It was in the study of Koranic and ḥadīthlanguages, in the religious disciplines such as kalāmand fiqhand in certain forms of literature that oral characteristics appeared for a long time pre-eminent. Whereas with sciences and more particularly…

The texts published in this volume represent a contribution to the debates on the origin of mysticism in the land of Islam, in particular Sufism, and on its evolution during the first centuries of the Hegirian era. The difficulty of the approach is twofold: that of understanding origins which are by nature remote and imprecise, and that of approaching a personal and elusive phenomenon such as mysticism. This question of origins requires a rereading of the oldest texts and a distance from received ideas both in the Muslim tradition and in academic circles. It is a question of knowing how, over the centuries, men and women considered as Masters have appeared and how the relationship between them and those who sought their teaching and their company was established and formalized.The choice of this theme - the relationship between Masters and disciples - makes it possible to address the questions of teaching, training and the transmission of the mystical experience. It is precisely around the exercise and the nature of this relationship that all the Muslim mystical groups, Sufi or not, will be built. But it takes us to the heart of a paradox: is not the mystical experience indeed, by definition, personal, not identically reproducible and, therefore, non-transferable?
