Isa Bin Ali: Biography and Philosophical Views (in Arabic)
Auther : Sahban Khalifat
The Ancient historians and biographers in Islamic Philosophy considered isa Bin Ali among the prominent Philosophers and logicians of the fourth century of Higra. Today he is completely unknown.
This article contains detailed information concerning his life, religious and intellectual education (Philosophy and Logic), writings and, his relation with al-Balkhi and al-Kindi, and his place in the history of Philosophy in Islam.
I have presented and analyzed his opinions, related to the essence of science, the logical structure of its propositions, his concept of causation, and the detailed information about his attitude towards the principles of Neoplatonism which have been used by his followers to establish and prove the claim concerning the effect of celestial bodies on the events of our universe. Further, I have dealt with his ethical views which are pervaded by a clear-cut stochastic stream. And finally I made comparisons with the written manuscripts of Abu al Hasan al-Amiri and Abu Sulieman al-Sajistani.
