L'intellect: Compendium Du Livre De L'ame (Sic Et Non)
Le Compendium du livre De l'ame d'Aristote (Muhtasar Kitab al-nafs) compte parmi les premieres uvres d'exegete d'Averroes. On en traduit ici le chapitre sur l'intellect qui contient l'essentiel des questions sur lesquelles le Commentateur reviendra dans toute son uvre. Ce qui l'occupe est d'etablir si l'acte de l'intellect humain est permanent ou bien intermittent, et plus largement de savoir si notre puissance rationnelle est elle-meme eternelle ou bien engendree et corruptible. L'auteur montre que nos concepts sont en verite ambivalents et que s'ils sont en partie soustraits au temps par leur sens, leur rapport aux images leur confere une forme de potentialite. C'est sur cette puissance que l'accent est quelle est la nature de la capacite de penser? quel peut-etre son substrat? qu'est-ce qui la meut, et jusqu'ou? L'edition du texte par David Wirmer montre qu'il fut plusieurs fois revise et son interet est double. Il montre a la fois quelle fut la doctrine du jeune Averroes, disciple de son predecesseur andalou Ibn B a (Avempace), et comment le Cordouan inlassablement critique devait juger bon de la reviser. Averroes est connu dans l'histoire comme l'auteur du Grand Commentaire du traite De l'ame. C'est dans ce texte du Compendium qu'on voit s'en profiler la doctrine.

About the author
ibn Rushd
205 books278 followersArabic version: ابن رشد
Commentaries of well known Arab philosopher, jurist, and physician Averroës or Averrhoës, also ibn Rushd, of Spain on Aristotle exerted a strong influence on medieval Christian theology.
Abu'l-Walid Ibn Rushd, better as Averroes, stands as a towering figure in the history of Islamic as that of west European thought. In the Islamic world, he played a decisive role in the defense of Greeks against the onslaughts of the Ash'arite (Mutakallimun), led by Abu Hamid al-Ghazali, and in the rehabilitation.
A common theme throughout his writings properly understood religion with no incompatibility. His contributions took many forms, ranging from his detailed, his defense against the attacks of those who condemned it as contrary to Islam and his construction of a form, cleansed as far as possible at the time of Neoplatonism.
After centuries of nearly total oblivion in west Europe, world recognition as early as the 13th century contributed to the rediscovery of the master. That instrumental discovery launched Scholasticism in Latin and the Renaissance of the 15th-century Europe in due course. Since the publication of [title:Averroes et l'averroisme] of Ernest Renan in 1852, notwithstanding very little attention to work of Averroes in English, French showed greater interest.
