Ibn Hazm
Abu Muhammad Ali ibn Hazm ( ) or Al Hazm, poet, historian, jurist, philosopher and theologian Arab Andalusian-born convert to Islam for over two centuries Biography Twice minister ( vizier ) to serve the dynasty Umayyad then decaying, Ibn Hazm put his encyclopedic knowledge to serve its political and theological beliefs . The work of Ibn Hazm is immense. It includes approximately 400 titles (many are lost because burned by a governor to punish him) covering all Islamic sciences. In logic , he denounces the abuse identification of induction and deduction with the syllogism. In Muslim law, he stays away from schools chafite and Maliki. Canonical refusing induction, the search for causes, views, good appreciation and tradition, he advocated "total respect of the text" and "the need for a rational method." He calls this new method of interpretation zahiria. The dhahirism advocates phenomenalism in the interpretation of sacred text. It is therefore considered the sacred text as an object containing all its truth, just as one might study a production of nature. Koranic prescriptions must be studied as such, without attempting to interpret or justify them. They are what they are and that is enough. Ibn Hazm castigates lawyers and theologians who have opted for subjectivity, intarrissable source of deviations. The Koran should be considered as a completed what we should add or subtract anything. The sacred text is required then by his evidence. It is unnecessary and harmful to try to prove it. It suffices, in fact, to show it. Any other position would be to replace the text and at the same time would meet or exceed the prophet of God, a claim absurd and reprehensible. Following his model Ibn Dawood , his moral treatise, the collar dove, is among the major representatives of Platonism in Islam. AR Nykl noted the close resemblance that unites its theories of Platonic love and that of the gay science of faithful love and the troubadours. The Treaty on religions and schools of thought is considered the first treatise on comparative history of religions (in the world and in Arabic). He analyzes all possible attitudes to religious phenomena, from skepticism to faith of coal. Other works: In 1078, when the "dispute of Zaragoza, Semur Hugh , Abbot of Cluny and the Abu Walid al-Baji, jurisconsults, agree to meet and defend their thesis around a critical essay on the doctrines of Ibn Hazm . This "dispute" (oral) highlights the role of Cluny in the opening to Islam, of interest then not "intellectuals" in Europe. In the same vein, Peter the Venerable , Abbot of Cluny, began to translate not only the Koran (by Robert of Ketton) but also various legends and stories about the Prophet of Islam and the early caliphs. He also translated the works of Risala of Al-Kindi (work relating to all aspects of knowledge, courtyard of Baghdad, before 820), the Nur Muhammad and the Doctrina Machumet (receipt of responses from four Jewish Prophet).
