AVERROES, KANT AND THE ORIGINS OF THE ENLIGHTENMENT: REASON AND REVELATION IN ARAB THOUGHT
Book ID/图书代码： 06545014B67308
English Summary/英文概要： The twelfth-century philosopher Averroes is often identified by modern Arab thinkers as an early advocate of the Enlightenment. Saud M. S. Al-Tamamy demonstrates that an historical as well as comparative approach to Averroes’ thought refutes this widely held assumption. The philosophical doctrine of Averroes is compared with that of the key figure of the Enlightenment in Western thought, Immanuel Kant. By comparing Averroes and Kant, Al-Tamamy evaluates the ideologies of each thinker’s work and in particular focuses on their respective political implications on two social groups: the Elite, in Averroes’ case, and the Public, in the case of Kant. The book’s methodology is at once historical, analytical and communicative, and is especially relevant when so many thinkers - both Western and Middle Eastern - are anxious to find common denominators between the formations of Islamic and Western cultures. It responds to a need for comparative analysis in the field of Averroes studies, and takes on the challenge to uncover the philosopher’s influence on the Enlightenment.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 当代阿拉伯思想家们总是倾向于将12世纪的哲学家阿威罗伊看做是启蒙运动的早期倡导者。苏德•M•S•阿尔塔玛米则用例证为我们证实，不论是历史研究还是比较研究，阿威罗伊的思想都有力的驳斥了这一广泛公认的猜想。人们将阿威罗伊的哲学思想与西方启蒙运动时期的主要人物伊曼努尔•康德的思想进行了比较。通过将两者进行比较，苏德•M•S•阿尔塔玛米对二者作品中所体现的思想体系及两人对于社会群体的不同政治关注进行了评估：一边是阿威罗伊案例中的精英阶层，另一边是康德案例中的普通民众。书中所采用的方法论是历史上长期沿袭的分析与交流法，并且，尤其在如此多的思想家---既有西方也有东方---焦急的想要找寻出伊斯兰文化与西方文化间的共同特征时。本书就对阿威罗伊研究领域进行比较分析做出回应，并尝试去揭开哲学家对于启蒙运动背后的影响。(DC)
