THE QUESTION OF THE AUTONOMY OF POLITICS IN THE CONTEXT OF RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN RELIGION AND PHILOSOPHY: A READING OF IBN RUSHD

Summary/Abstract: This study claims to examine the issue of the autonomy of political activity, based on the views of Ibn Rushd, who put forward an original theory of the relationship between religion and philosophy. Ibn Rushd deals with the relationship between religion and philosophy, such as the Oriental (Eastern) Islamic philosophers Farabi and Avicenna. This school, known as the Farabi-Avicenna school and which put its seal on Islamic philosophy until Ibn Rushd, subordinates religion to philosophy based on the thesis of the historical priority and epistemological superiority of philosophy over religion in terms of the relationship between religion and philosophy. Moreover, religion is presented by this school as a popular aspect of philosophy. This presentation of the relationship between religion and philosophy ends with the assumption that these two types of activity are in harmony with each other. Political activity, as an extension of this point of view, is handled in the context of the harmony of the relationship between religion and philosophy. On the other hand, Ibn Rushd does not deal with the relationship between religion and philosophy in terms of harmony and completion. In terms of the relationship between religion and philosophy, Ibn Rushd's project is a kind of autonomy project. The purpose of this study is to discuss Ibn Rushd's views on political activity in the context of the relationship between religion and philosophy.
