Chance and Determinism in Avicenna and Averroes
Posted on 2010-03-16
|  |
More (Islamic Philosophy, Theology, and Science) By Belo, C. This book addresses the issue of determinism in Avicenna and Averroes through an analysis of their views on chance, matter and divine providence. It sets the debate against the philosophical/historical background of Aristotelianism, Neoplatonism and Islamic theology. INTRODUCTION Determinism: the problem and some historical aspects The problem of determinism has engaged the attention of thinkers and philosophers since times immemorial and is rightly considered as one of philosophy’s perennial issues, regarding which the most disparate views have been held without a definite conclusion. Whilst this can render the task of anyone dealing with determinism frustrating it also provides a wide range of alternatives as to a possible solution. While some philosophers have explicitly tackled the issue of determinism or else have strong determinist or indeterminist proclivities, others do not display in their works a special interest in or explicit awareness of the issue. During the period of classical Islam, when philosophy was heavily influenced by developments in Islamic theology which had included the problem of God’s omnipotence and predestination, it was natural for Muslim philosophers to address the issue of determinism. In this sense it is important to see how Muslim philosophers, trained in the Aristotelian tradition and living and working in an Islamic milieu, stood in connection with determinism. Medieval philosophy, be it Christian, Jewish or Islamic, had strong religious and theological underpinnings. In this sense in studying views of medieval philosophers it is appropriate not to lose sight of the intellectual and religious context that formed the background of their philosophical activity.
