The Treatise on the Knowledge About the Rational Soul and its States by Ibn Sina: A Critical Edition and Annotated Translation
Abstract
There are a great number of Arabic manuscripts preserved in numerous institutions all over the world, which are actually valuable sources for a variety of knowledge. A critical edition of these manuscripts and their translations is still in its infancy in modern scholarship. Curiously enough, this eminent works have been neglected by scholars, and no serious study and adequate research have been made, especially in theological and philosophical works. The same applies to important works of Abu 'Ali al- Husain Ibn 'Abd Allah Ibn Hasson Ibn 'Ali Ibn Sina, known as Avicenna in the west (Safar 370 H/August 980 CE-428 H/1037 CE). In order to complete the inadequate and partial works, I have undertaken a research on one of lbn Sina's important works, and I have designated it as 'Risalat Fi Ma'rifat al-Nafs al-Natiqat wa-Ahwaliha Ii Ibn Sina (The Treatise on the Knowledge about the Rational Soul and its States by Ibn Sina: A Critical Edition and Annotated Translation).
ABSTRAK
Sebilangan besar manuskrip Arab tulisan tangan masih tersimpan dengan baik di merata tempat di beberapa buah universiti di dunia ini. Manuskrip ini merupakan sumber terpenting bagi pelbagai disiplin ilmu pengetahuan. Walaupun begitu, usaha mengedit dan menterjemah secara kritikal manuskrip tersebut masih lagi di peringkat permulaan di dalam pengkajian ilmu moden. Jadi tidaklah menghairankan kalau hasil-hasil utama karya tersebut telah diabaikan oleh para pengkaji sehinggakan tiada kajian yang serius dilakukan terhadap karya-karya tersebut, khasnya di bidang teologi dan falsafah. Keadaan yang sama juga berlaku kepada hasil karya terpenting Abu 'Ali al-Husain ibn 'Abd Allah ibn Hassan ibn Ali Ibn Sina,atau dikenali bagai Avicenna di barat (Safar 70 H/Ogos 1037 CE). Sebagai melengkapkan kekurangan dan ketidak- sempurnaan tersebut, maka saya telah berusaha melakukan satu kajian terhadap salah satu hasil karya terpenting Ibn Sina. Penulisan ini dinamakan sebagai Risalat Fi Ma'rifat al-Nafs al-Natiqat wa Ahwaliha Ii Ibn Sina (Risalah mengenai Roh Berfikir dan keadaannya mengikut pandangan Ibn Sina : Satu edisi kritikal dan terjemahan bernota).
