Sekilas Mengenai Tokoh-Tokoh Filosof


Berikut adalah petikan beberapa penulisan tentang tokoh filosofi Greek Plato, Aristotle dan hubung kait mereka dengan tokoh filosof Islam al-Ghazali dan Ibn Rusyd.

Influens tokoh Greek;

Muslims also admired the philosophical, scientific, and medical writings of classical Greece. They became especially interested in Plato and Aristotle, whose works they translated and interpreted in commentaries. During the tenth and eleventh centuries, some Muslim philosophers sought to synthesize Greek and Muslim thought by harmonizing Plato with the teachings of Islam.

Namun begitu tokoh filosof terkemuka Islam al-Ghazali pula menolak pandangan mereka;

They (Plato and Aristotle) encountered resistance among conservative theologians such as the Sufi al-Ghazali, who considered Greek philosophy a completely unreliable guide to ultimate truth, since it relied on frail human reason rather than on the revelation of the Quran.

Tentang Ibn Rusyd pula (link);

Partly in response to al-Ghazali’s attacks, twelfth-century Muslim philosophers turned their attention more to Aristotle than to Plato. The most notable figure in this development was Ibn Rushd (1126–1198), qadi of Seville in the caliphate of Córdoba, who followed Aristotle in seeking to articulate a purely rational understanding of the world.

Ibn Rushd’s reliance on natural reason went too far for many Muslims, who placed more value on the revelations of the Quran than on the fruits of human logic. After the thirteenth century, Muslim philosophers and theologians who dominated the madrasas drew inspiration more from Islamic sources than from Greek philosophy. Platonic and Aristotelian influences did not disappear, but they lost favor in official seats of learning and fell increasingly under the shadow of teachings from the Quran and Sufi mystics. As they did with political and cultural traditions from Persia and India, Muslim thinkers absorbed Greek philosophy, reconsidered it, and used it to advance the interests of their society.
