Jak filozof może dobrze żyć w niedoskonałym mieście – jako samotny „chwast”.
Stanowisko
Ibn Bajja was the first major philosopher of al-Andalus, building on al-Farabi and Aristotle. The Regime of the Solitary asks how a philosopher can live well in a city that is not virtuous. Such people are like “weeds”, growing where no one sowed them; they must govern themselves, keep apart from the opinions of the crowd and devote themselves to knowledge. The goal is conjunction with the active intellect, in which the mind grasps pure intelligible forms – the highest happiness open to a human being. His ideas on motion, transmitted through Averroes, were still debated by Latin scholastics, and his thought shaped Ibn Tufayl and Averroes.
Życie i kontekst
Abu Bakr ibn Bajja, known in Latin as Avempace, was born in Saragossa in the late eleventh century and served as vizier to its Almoravid governor. After the city fell to the Christians in 1118 he lived in Seville, Granada and finally Fez as a physician and official, and was imprisoned more than once. Also a poet and musician, he died in Fez in 1138, reportedly poisoned.
