L'intelletto nella Risala mahiyyat al-'aql di al-Harith al-Muhasibi

Abstract

The epistle on the essence of the intellect places at the center of the research a philological analysis of the term intellect and its conceptual analysis based on the main sources of Islamic knowledge: the Koran and the sunna. The author is also interested in the ethical aspect of the intellect, the ability to distinguish between good and evil. Intelligence, understanding, intellectual light ultimately lead man to the contemplation of divine realities.
