Providence In Ibn Sīnā In the Context of Love and Generosity

Öz

The concept of providence holds a central place in Ibn Sīnā's philosophy, shaping his views. It offers a framework for understanding the relationship between God, the world, and human beings. This study aims to highlight the dynamic nature of providence, which operates along the axis of love and generosity. His views on this subject are presented through document analysis, based on his main works. An examination of Ibn Sînâ’s principal works reveals that he maintains that the dominant force in the universe is goodness, and that the universe was created with generosity as a consequence of the First Cause being love, the lover and the beloved. The First Cause’s love and generosity are reflected in the universe through divine providence.The concepts of love and generosity demonstrate that the order of goodness in providence arises without being based on any particular purpose. These two concepts also serve to soften the sense of necessity in the process of emanation, moving away from mechanical causality. Consequently, it is evident that in Ibn Sīnā’s philosophy, the concept of love, centred on divine providence, takes on the character of an ontological principle rather than merely a psychological inclination. Furthermore, it has been established that generosity is not merely a moral virtue, but an essential attribute of the order of being. In conclusion, it has been observed that reinterpreting classical texts whilst taking into account the relationships between concepts is important for achieving a holistic approach.
