The Soul in Ibn Kammūna’s Kalimāt Wajīza
Journal Title: Nazariyat İslam Felsefe ve Bilim Tarihi Araştırmaları Dergisi - Year 2016, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
Ibn Kammūna, a late thirteenth-century Jewish philosopher, had a special interest, bordering on an obsession, in the human soul, especially as regards its eternal endurance. One-quarter of his short ethical-philosophical treatise, the Kalimāt wajīza, is given over to ‘ilm al-nafs. In this paper, I present an annotated translation of the second of the five chapters that make up that section of the treatise.
