UNDERSTANDING OF AMALGAMATION AND THE PROBLEM OF ADJECTIVES

Abstract

The central concern of al-Fârâbî’s thought is to reconcile religion and philosophy. While making this effort, he tried to develop a new way of thinking by using the main principles of philosophy without any concessions to the principles of Islamic belief. He set a diffi cult target like expounding Aristoteles with the title of Muallim-i Sânî (Second teacher), and he became successful. Fârâbî’s way of thinking that appears within this context is to re-explain the principle of Allah’s uniqueness (amalgamation), which constitutes the core of Islam’s principles with a philosophical interpretation. Considering his explanation of matter of adjectives; our philosopher thought that the problem discussed by the classic Islamic thought as subjective and essential adjectives caused the acceptance of God confi ned to a conceptual knot and considered the adjectives that belong to Allah as traits exclusive to Allah. Accordingly, Fârâbî accepted the consideration related to the existence of adjectives as the existence-structure unity contrary to the subject-adjective separation. According to Fârâbî who saw that the matter of adjectives resulted in the semantic inadequacy of the concepts in the relative sense, Allah’s uniqueness explains the existence reason for the whole universe and the superiority out of the uniqueness proves the uniqueness itself.
