On the philosophical study of the origin of irrational knowledge in Eastern peripatetic philosophy: “revelation, dream and inspiration”: in the context of the philosophical views of Shihabeddin Yahya Suhrawardi, Abulhasan Bahmaniyar and Al-Kindi

In philosophy, especially in the rich Eastern philosophical heritage , the issue of revelation, which occupies an important place, was approached as a problem by the Eastern peripatetics and explained it as a special form of knowledge belonging to the highest level of reason. Al-Kindi, Farabi, Ibn Sina, Ibn Rushd, Ibn Khaldun and other Eastern philosophers, taking revelation beyond the religious framework , comprehensively examined it as a phenomenon presented to society as an independent and pure thought, guiding the development of separate cultures and civilizations, uniting different peoples and nations around a single idea, and approached it from various aspects. As we have noted, despite the great importance that philosophers attach to this issue, since the issue of revelation in their worldview has not been studied at the appropriate level in Azerbaijan, this topic can be considered quite relevant. As a result of the rapid and intensive nature of information exchange, the human brain, overloaded with information, increases its knowledge and information base with every passing second; on the other hand, it shortens its life. Today, millions of "web" sites that embrace the world and are called "spider webs" have become a material force to a greater extent than at the beginning of the last century, and have succeeded in changing the balance of forces striving for leadership in the world in their favor. Religious feelings and our way of life, which is considered the spiritual treasure of people and has become national customs and traditions that have filtered through the memory of centuries, are losing their vitality and are giving way to the material interests of an increasingly globalized world. However, it is also a fact that the sense of holiness, which no ideology can destroy, and which is born with us from nature, cannot be subordinated to these interests. In this sense, we consider it more important to bring to the fore the saving function of revelation, its universal essence that can benefit and help global problems, not as a controversial problem. For this reason, the fact that the monograph resonates with the demands of the modern era also emphasizes its relevance.

Abstract

In philosophy, especially in the rich Eastern philosophical heritage , the issue of revelation, which occupies an important place, was approached as a problem by the Eastern peripatetics and explained it as a special form of knowledge belonging to the highest level of reason. Al-Kindi, Farabi, Ibn Sina, Ibn Rushd, Ibn Khaldun and other Eastern philosophers, taking revelation beyond the religious framework , comprehensively examined it as a phenomenon presented to society as an independent and pure thought, guiding the development of separate cultures and civilizations, uniting different peoples and nations around a single idea, and approached it from various aspects. As we have noted, despite the great importance that philosophers attach to this issue, since the issue of revelation in their worldview has not been studied at the appropriate level in Azerbaijan, this topic can be considered quite relevant. As a result of the rapid and intensive nature of information exchange, the human brain, overloaded with information, increases its knowledge and information base with every passing second; on the other hand, it shortens its life. Today, millions of "web" sites that embrace the world and are called "spider webs" have become a material force to a greater extent than at the beginning of the last century, and have succeeded in changing the balance of forces striving for leadership in the world in their favor. Religious feelings and our way of life, which is considered the spiritual treasure of people and has become national customs and traditions that have filtered through the memory of centuries, are losing their vitality and are giving way to the material interests of an increasingly globalized world. However, it is also a fact that the sense of holiness, which no ideology can destroy, and which is born with us from nature, cannot be subordinated to these interests. In this sense, we consider it more important to bring to the fore the saving function of revelation, its universal essence that can benefit and help global problems, not as a controversial problem. For this reason, the fact that the monograph resonates with the demands of the modern era also emphasizes its relevance.
