موقف ابن تيمية من الفلسفة

Abstract EN

The presentresearch paper sheds light on Ibn Taymiyyah's attitude towards philosophy through studying his approaches to natural philosophy and ethical philosophy.

The study shows Ibn Taymiyyah's early interest in philosophy, his criticism of philosophers, and his appreciation of their opinions when they are right.

It also shows his interest in mathematics and engineering in preference to philosophy.

It also indicates his attitude towards quoting texts, i.

e.

the infallible texts of the Qur᾿ān and the sayings of Allah's Messenger, his refutation of the false claim about contradiction between reasoning and quoting, and his theory about harmony between sound reasoning and accurate quoting.

Ibn Taymiyyah stipulates that reason is Allah's creation and that the Islamic law is His ordinance, Glory be to Him; and that there is no conflict between His creation and His ordinance.

The study also illustrates Ibn Taymiyyah's attitude towards the Aristotelian logic, as he was the first to criticize Aristotle's logic, and it shows the facets of his criticism of it.
