Abu Nasr Muhammad al-Farabi (àrap: أبو نصر محمد الفارابي, romanisat: Abū Naṣr Muḥammad al-Fārābī; c. 870[1] – 14 de decembre de 950–12 de giner de 951),[2] conegut en l'Occident llatí com Alpharabius,[3] fon un dels primers filòsofs i teòrics de la música islàmics.[4] Ha segut designat com «pare del neoplatonisme islàmic»[5] i «fundador de la filosofia política islàmica».[6]
Els camps d'interés filosòfic d'Al-Farabi incloïen —pero no es llimitaven a— la filosofia de la societat i la religió;[7] la filosofia del llenguage i la llògica;[8] la psicologia i l'epistemologia;[9] la metafísica,[10] la filosofia política[11] i l'ètica.[12] Era un expert tant en la pràctica musical com en la teoria musical,[13] i encara que no era intrínsecament un científic,[14] les seues obres incorporen l'astronomia,[15] les matemàtiques,[16] la cosmologia[17] i la física.[18]
A Al-Farabi se li atribuïx ser el primer musulmà que presentà la filosofia com un sistema coherent en el món islàmic,[19] creant un sistema filosòfic propi[20] que va transcendir els interessos escolàstics dels seus precursors neoplatónics grecorromans i aristotèlics siríacs.[21] Que fon més que un pioner de la filosofia islàmica[22] queda evidenciat en el fet de que autors posteriors ho denominaren el «Segon Mestre», sent Aristòtil el primer.[23] [24]
Entre els filòsofs influenciats per al-Farabi es troben Yahya ibn Adi, Abu Sulayman Sijistani, Abu al-Hassan al-Amiri i Abu Hayyan al-Tawhidi;[25] Avicena, Suhrawardi i Mulla Sadra;[26] Avempace, Ibn Tufail i Averroes;[27] Maimónides,[28] Albertus Magnus[29] i Leo Strauss.[30] Fon conegut tant en l'Occident llatí[31] com en el món islàmic.
Biografia
[editar | editar còdic]Les distintes versions existents sobre els orígens i l'ascendència d'Al-Farabi indiquen que estes no foren registrades durant la seua vida ni poc despuix per ningú que disponguera d'informació de primera mà, sino que es basaven en rumors o conjectures (com ocorre també en atres contemporàneus d'Al-Farabi). Se sap molt poc sobre la seua vida. Les fonts més primerenques inclouen un passage autobiogràfic en el que Al-Farabi traça l'història de la llògica i la filosofia fins a la seua época, aixina com breus mencions realisades per Al-Masudi, Ibn al-Nadim i Ibn Hawqal. Saíd al-Ándalusí escrigué una biografia d'Al-Farabi. Els biógrafs àraps dels sigles XII i XIII disponien de molt poques senyes fiables i, en conseqüència, varen recórrer a relats inventats sobre la seua vida.[32]
Per referències indirectes se sap que passà una part important de la seua vida —pràcticament tota la seua carrera intelectual— en Bagdad, a on estudià i treballà en erudits cristians siríacs, entre ells el clerc Yuhanna ibn Haylan,[33] Yahya ibn Adi i Abu Ishaq Ibrahim al-Baghdadi. Més tart residí durant un temps en Damasc i en Egipte, abans de retornar a Damasc, a on muigué en 950 o 951.[34]
El seu nom era Abu Nasr Muhammad ibn Muhammad al-Farabi,[32] a voltes en el llinage familiar al-Tarkhani, és dir, l'element Tarkhan apareix en una nisba.[32] El seu yayo no era conegut entre els seus contemporàneus, pero un nom Awzalagh, en àrap, apareix sobtadament més tart en els escrits de Ibn Abi Usaybi'a, i el del seu besyayo en els de Ibn Khallikan.[32]
El seu lloc de naiximent podria haver segut qualsevol dels molts llocs d'Àsia Central, llavors coneguda com Jorasán. La paraula farab és un terme persa que designa un lloc irrigat per manals o corrents d'un riu propenc. Per lo tant, existixen molts llocs que duen eixe nom (o diverses evolucions d'eixe topònim) en eixa zona, com Farab (Otrar) en el Jaxartes (Syr Darya) en l'actual Kazakhstan; Farab, un poble encara existent en les afores de la ciutat de Chaharjuy/Amul (actual Türkmenabat) en el Oxus Amu Darya en Turkmenistan, en la Ruta de la Seda, que conecta Merv en Bujará, o Faryab en el Gran Jorasán (actual Afganistan). L'antic persa[32] Parab (en Hudud ul-'alam) o Faryab (també Paryab), és un topònim persa comú que significa "terres irrigades per la desviació de l'aigua d'un riu".[35] [36]
Origens
[editar | editar còdic]Encara que alguns estudiosos sostenen que no és possible determinar el seu orige ètnic,[32] [37] [38] [39] uns atres ho descriuen com d'orige persa o túrquic. L'historiador àrap medieval Ibn Abi Usaybia (fallit en 1270), un dels biógrafs més antics d'Al-Farabi, menciona en el seu Uyun que el pare d'Al-Farabi era d'ascendència persa.[32] [40] Al-Shahrazuri, que va viure cap a 1288 i escrigué una de les primeres biografies d'Al-Farabi, també afirma que procedia d'una família persa.[41] [42] Segons Majid Fakhry, professor emèrit de Filosofia de l'Universitat de Georgetown, el pare d'Al-Farabi «era un capità de l'eixèrcit d'orige persa».[43] L'orige persa d'Al-Farabi també ha segut senyalat per moltes atres fonts.[44] Per la seua banda, Dimitri Gutas, professor emèrit de l'Universitat de Yale, observa que les obres d'Al-Farabi contenen referències i glosses en persa, sogdià i inclús grec, pero no en turc.[32] [45] El sogdià també ha segut propost com la seua llengua materna[46] i com la llengua dels habitants de Farab.[47] Muhammad Javad Mashkoor defén un orige centroasiàtic iranofon.[48] Segons Christoph Baumer, provablement era sogdià.[49]
Segons Thérèse-Anne Druart, escrivint en 2020:
«Els estudiosos han discutit el seu orige ètnic. Alguns han afirmat que era turc, pero investigacions més recents apunten a que era persa.»[50]
La referència més antiga coneguda que atribuïx a a Al-Farabi un orige túrquic procedix de l'historiador medieval Ibn Khallikan (fallit en 1282), qui en la seua obra Wafayat (completada en 669 H./1271 d. C.) afirma que Al-Farabi naixqué en el menut llogaret de Wasij, prop de Farab (en l'actual Otrar, Kazakhstan), de pares túrquics. Basant-se en este relat, alguns estudiosos sostenen que era d'orige túrquic.[51] [52] [53] [54] [55] [56] Dimitri Gutas, arabiste nortamericà, critica esta afirmació, argumentant que el relat d'Ibn Khallikan estava dirigit contra les narracions històriques anteriors d'Ibn Abi Usaybi'a i tenia com a propòsit «demostrar» un orige túrquic per a Al-Farabi, per eixemple per mig de la menció de la nisba (llinage o denominació d'orige) adicional «al-Turk» (àrap: «el turc»), una nisba que Al-Farabi mai utilisà.[32] No obstant, Abu al-Fida, que copià a Ibn Khallikan, substituí al-Torkī per l'expressió «wa-kana rajolan torkiyan», que significa «i era un home turc».[32] A este respecte, i ya que les obres d'estos suposts autors turcs no mostren chafades de la cultura nómada túrquica, el professor d'Oxford C. I. Bosworth senyala que «grans figures com Al-Farabi, Al-Biruni i Avicena han segut adscrites a la raça turca per estudiosos turcs excessivament entusiastes».[57]
