Tracing the possible ways in which the thought of Ibn Rushd (Averroes, d. 595/1198) was transmitted within Muslim contexts can be such a “frustrating” and “depressing” task that it may have contributed to the near absence of his name in the lists of influential philosophers of Islam in the eastern part of the Islamic world. This article, through the consultation of original texts and manuscripts sets out to throw some light on this seeming absence. It offers a revision of Henry Corbin’s famous assertion about Ibn Rushd’s fate in the East by addressing the various receptions of Ibn Rushd’s texts in North Africa, Egypt, and the Levant, examining available manuscript catalogs of Ibn Rushd’s writings in Iran, and analyzing an important work by ʿAbd al-Razzāq al-Lāhījī (d. 1072/1661–1662), one of the most famous philosophers of the 17th century. |

In this study, I examine the “identities” that a short work by the Andalusian philosopher Ibn Rushd (Averroes, d. 595/1198), in which he deals with the question of “Does God know particulars?” has accumulated throughout its history. This work, which is usually published as an appendix to the Faṣl almaqāl (Decisive Treatises), is known in modern times under several names, including an Appendix on Divine Knowledge, or the Appendix or Dhayl to the Faṣl al-Maqal, or simply Ḍamīma or the Epistle Dedicatory entitled the Ḍamīma. This makes one wonder: did Ibn Rushd really write a work with this title? In order to answer this straightforward question and to identify the origin of the problem, I tried to return to the indexes, catalogs, historical and biographical works in which data of this work appeared, as well as to its unique manuscript (Escorial: 632). This survey helped us to clarify the forms of ambiguity that surrounded its title, since its first publication in the middle of the nineteenth century until today. My aim is to show that this work, unlike most of Ibn Rushd's works, is not supposed to have a specific title, as it was an answer to a question put to Ibn Rushd; which means that what has been mentioned in the index of Ibn Rushd's works (Escorial: 884) remains most relevant and closest to the identity of this short text. |

Le but de cet article est de reconstruire la position du philosophe Ibn Rušd (595/1198) quant à la dialectique (al-ğadal) en tant que méthode philosophique. Le lecteur trouvera dans la présente étude une enquête sur les termes et les concepts qui forment l’art de la dialectique (prémisses dialectiques, questions, objets de recherche etc.). L’objectif de l’article est toutefois de mettre en évidence les fins et les valeurs qu’Averroès attribue à la dialectique et qui le conduiront à y minimiser le rôle d’al-ġalaba (la victoire). Il mettra cet art au service de tâches scientifiques spécifiques que l’art de la démonstration ne parvient pas à accomplir. L’auteur s’emploie à clarifier les raisons de la position réservée d’Averroès quant à l’utilité de la dialectique quand elle est traitée par al-ğumhūr. Éloigner la dialectique d’al-ğumhūr, la rapprocher des tâches théoriques et scientifiques, et mettre l’accent sur les valeurs universelles de cet art font partie des objectifs d’Averroès dans son Commentaire Moyen à la Dialectique d’Aristote. Il semble qu’il ait atteint son but en montrant l’utilité de certains arts alternatifs. |

Tracing the possible ways in which the thought of Ibn Rushd (Averroes, d. 595/1198) was transmitted within Muslim contexts can be such a “frustrating” and “depressing” task that it may have contributed to the near absence of his name in the lists of influential philosophers of Islam in the eastern part of the Islamic world. This article, through the consultation of original texts and manuscripts sets out to throw some light on this seeming absence. It offers a revision of Henry Corbin’s famous assertion about Ibn Rushd’s fate in the East by addressing the various receptions of Ibn Rushd’s texts in North Africa, Egypt, and the Levant, examining available manuscript catalogs of Ibn Rushd’s writings in Iran, and analyzing an important work by ʿAbd al-Razzāq al-Lāhījī (d. 1072/1661–1662), one of the most famous philosophers of the 17th century. |

Le but de cet article est de reconstruire la position du philosophe Ibn Rušd (595/1198) quant à la dialectique (al-ğadal) en tant que méthode philosophique. Le lecteur trouvera dans la présente étude une enquête sur les termes et les concepts qui forment l’art de la dialectique (prémisses dialectiques, questions, objets de recherche etc.). L’objectif de l’article est toutefois de mettre en évidence les fins et les valeurs qu’Averroès attribue à la dialectique et qui le conduiront à y minimiser le rôle d’al-ġalaba (la victoire). Il mettra cet art au service de tâches scientifiques spécifiques que l’art de la démonstration ne parvient pas à accomplir. L’auteur s’emploie à clarifier les raisons de la position réservée d’Averroès quant à l’utilité de la dialectique quand elle est traitée par al-ğumhūr. Éloigner la dialectique d’al-ğumhūr, la rapprocher des tâches théoriques et scientifiques, et mettre l’accent sur les valeurs universelles de cet art font partie des objectifs d’Averroès dans son Commentaire Moyen à la Dialectique d’Aristote. Il semble qu’il ait atteint son but en montrant l’utilité de certains arts alternatifs. |

In this study, I examine the “identities” that a short work by the Andalusian philosopher Ibn Rushd (Averroes, d. 595/1198), in which he deals with the question of “Does God know particulars?” has accumulated throughout its history. This work, which is usually published as an appendix to the Faṣl almaqāl (Decisive Treatises), is known in modern times under several names, including an Appendix on Divine Knowledge, or the Appendix or Dhayl to the Faṣl al-Maqal, or simply Ḍamīma or the Epistle Dedicatory entitled the Ḍamīma. This makes one wonder: did Ibn Rushd really write a work with this title? In order to answer this straightforward question and to identify the origin of the problem, I tried to return to the indexes, catalogs, historical and biographical works in which data of this work appeared, as well as to its unique manuscript (Escorial: 632). This survey helped us to clarify the forms of ambiguity that surrounded its title, since its first publication in the middle of the nineteenth century until today. My aim is to show that this work, unlike most of Ibn Rushd's works, is not supposed to have a specific title, as it was an answer to a question put to Ibn Rushd; which means that what has been mentioned in the index of Ibn Rushd's works (Escorial: 884) remains most relevant and closest to the identity of this short text. |

In order to answer this straightforward question and to identify the origin of the problem, I tried to return \r\nto the indexes, catalogs, historical and biographical works in which data of this work appeared, as well as to its unique manuscript (Escorial: 632). This survey helped us to clarify the forms of ambiguity that surrounded its title, since its first publication in the middle of the nineteenth century until today. My aim is to show that this work, unlike most of Ibn Rushd's works, is not supposed to have a specific title, as it was an answer to a question put to Ibn Rushd; which means that what has been mentioned in the index of Ibn Rushd's works (Escorial: 884) remains most relevant and closest to the identity of this short text.","btype":3,"date":"2021","language":"Arabic","online_url":"https:\/\/philosmus.org\/archives\/3088","doi_url":"","ti_url":"","categories":[{"id":47,"category_name":"Relation between Philosophy and Theology","link":"bib?categories[]=Relation between Philosophy and Theology"},{"id":40,"category_name":"Transmission","link":"bib?categories[]=Transmission"}],"authors":[{"id":1440,"full_name":"Fouad Ben Ahmed","role":1}],"works":[],"republication_of":null,"translation_of":null,"new_edition_of":null,"book":null,"booksection":null,"article":{"id":5459,"journal_id":null,"journal_name":"Philosophy and Sciences in Islamic Contexts","volume":"","issue":"","pages":""}},"sort":["\u0647\u0644 \u0643\u062a\u0628 \u0627\u0628\u0646 \u0631\u0634\u062f \u0634\u0642 \u0628\u0639\u0646\u0648\u0627\u0646\u0629 \u201c\u0627\u0644\u0636\u0645\u064a\u0645\u0629\u201c\u061f \u0645\u0644\u0627 \u062d\u0638\u0627\u062a \u0646\u0642\u062f\u064a\u0629 \u062d\u0648\u0644 \u063a\u0645\u0648\u0636 \u0639\u0645\u0651\u0631 \u0623\u0643\u062b\u0631 \u0645\u0646 \u0642\u0631\u0646 \u0648 \u0646\u0635\u0641"]}
