Abstract (EN)

The purpose of this study is to examine the Jabiri, who thinks that there is a great crisis and decline in social, political and intellectual aspects of the Islamic world of thought, and to try to eliminate this reason. Jabiri, like contemporary Islamic thinkers, is well aware of the great decline in the Islamic world. It uses a constitutional and rational method to avoid this regression and crisis. According to Jabiri, Avicenna is the reason for the discontinuation and decadence of the Arab-Islamic tradition of thought. From the point of view of Jabiri, Avicenna put aside the ideal of rationalization of the eastern theoretical thought and made it the basis of irrationality with an ideology he brought from his background. In fact, by making all kinds of superstition into science, it has placed everything irrational in the Islamic world. Thus, the mind has become dull and the intellectual tradition has decadenced. In fact, it is a manifestation of this in Meshrikî philosophy. Jabiri's debates on Avicenna have found their counterparts in contemporary times. The question of whether Avicenna's philosophy is mystical was searched by the researchers who searched Avicenna from the Jabiri perspective and the answers to the claims that Avicenna had an epistemological-ideological purpose. The reason for all of Jabiri's diligent efforts towards the Islamic world is to offer a recipe for salving the Islamic world. However, Jabiri's search for a rational and modern solution, despite Avicenna unique metaphysics, does not seem to face modernity sufficiently. At the same time, it can be said that when he speaks of the ideological attitudes of Avicenna, he makes claims that are far from fictional and historical realities. The offer to devote to Avicenna's tendency to abandon the Meshriki philosophy and turn to the Maghribi philosophy shows the way of salvation from dullness and regression, and to categorize the integrity of the Islamic world with ideological and geographical definitions and to localize the claims of the orientalists.
