Avicenna or Aristotelianism speculative
Avicenna (died 22th June 1037) he has been one of two
major philosophy of Islam and very much important studious of Aristoteles and
he has took and kept and his think, because during read of Metaphysics we can
read and consider that think of Aristoteles has conditioned very deeply the
think of Avicenna, because he has adopted same speculative method of Aristoteles,
and he has attained that this method was very logical; we can begin with a step
of this book, Avicenna said: “The philosophical
sciences are divided between practical sciences and speculative , and
difference is that speculative sciences are these through they are searching
the improvement of speculative power of soul through of mind in act”.
We must consider that this steps have two referents to Aristoteles, first is
that speculative name and method that Avicenna has used and second is the name
act, because Aristoteles says about act as done matter, this is power and act,
power is possibility that something become and act it is done, therefore
Aristoteles. Other step very confirming this thesis is: “The subject of
mathematic is abstract from matter or something that has quantity, but they study
it, which are alone states befall about quantity and no certainly matter…”,
this is logical think and speculative exercise, because from study of reality
we can take hypothesis and become it logical, therefore think. Other logical
step that shows very elementary deduction but is Aristotelian way: “Existent of
God we can search to others sciences, otherwaise we can’t search it in others
science because is could be that can’t search it in nothing science”, this is
very simple step is certainly scant but it is logical think and because it is
took from reality, therefore it is true and it has determined think; it is
Aristotelian method.
