The Problematic Passage in Guide for the Perplexed 2
The Problematic Passage in Guide for the Perplexed 2:24* Herbert A. Davidson (bio) 1. La Mise en Scène The passage that concerns us appears at the culmination of a series of carefully reasoned arguments. Part 2 of the Guide for the Perplexed opens with Maimonides undertaking to demonstrate the existence of God. In order to keep the question of the eternity or creation of the world open, he proceeds on parallel tracks.1 On the hypothesis of the et…
The Relation Between Averroes' Middle and long commentaries on the De Anima
Where Averroes' commentaries on Aristotle can be dated, the Middle Commentary on a given work can be seen to predate the Long Commentary. As an accompaniment to his fine edition of Averroes' Middle Commentary on the De anima , A. Ivry has maintained that in this instance matters are reversed and the Middle Commentary on the De anima is “an abridged and revised version” of the Long Commentary on the same work. Ivry develops his thesis most fully i…
Alfarabi, Avicenna, and Averroes, on Intellect
Alfarabi, Avicenna, and Averroes on Intellect
The distinction between the potential intellect and the active intellect was first drawn by Aristotle. Medieval Islamic, Jewish, Christian philosophers, and European philosophers in the sixteenth century considered it a possible key to deciphering the nature of man and the universe. In this book, Herbert Davidson examines the treatment of intellect in Alfarabi (d. 950), Avicenna (980-1037) and Averroes (1126-1198), with particular attention to th…

Averroes and Narboni on the Material Intellect
Questions regarding the human intellect haunted Averroes throughout his philosophic career; no less than seven of his preserved works treat the human intellect formally, while others, naturally enough, also do so incidentally. Here I shall point out that the seven aforementioned works fall into a sequence, that a recently published text of Averroes' has its place within the sequence, and that Moses Narboni misread Averroes for reasons to be expla…

The Philosophy of Abraham Shalom. A Fifteenth-Century exposition and Defense of Maimonides
Arguments from the Concept of Particularization in Arabic Philosophy
ONE OF THE MOST distinctive concepts in Kalam philosophy is that of particularization (takhsis). In barest outline, it is the notion that when an object has a given characteristic but could conceivably have a different one, something must serve to particularize it, that is, to select the particular characteristic it does have from among all those that it might have.1 The concept can provide the nerve of a proof of the existence of God if it is sh…
