"AL-ÎZÂH FI`L-KHAYR AL-MAKHZ (Liber de Causis)" AND A NUMBER OF ARTICLES OF ITS EFFECT

Year 2002, Volume: 2 Issue: 1, 105 - 128, 31.05.2002

Abstract

Al-Îzâh fi`l-Khayr al-Makhz (Liber de Causis) alongside with Asologia
(Theologia of Aristoteles) is one of the important sources that determine the contents
and purposes of metaphysics in Islamic philosophy. Although it actually reflects
the Proclosian form of Neo-Platonism it was falsely attributed to Aristoteles.
Al-Îzâh was a major source through which Neo-Platonism was transmitted to the
Islamic world. It is comprised of 31 one sections that discuss or formulate at different
levels the various subjects that we are acquianted with in philosophy texts
written in Arabic. In this article, I have discussed some new materials on the
anonymous Îzâh al-khair, which appeared in a group of “resâil” extant among
Avempacean, or, perhaps, pseudo-Avempacean writings. These “resâil” show that
there was a different version of al-Îzâh fî al-khair al-mahd in Arabic. On the other
hand, I have tried to show that there was another reader of al-Îzâh among philosophers
of Islam in the medieval period of Islam.
