رابطه معرفت و سعادت در فلسفه ابن‌سینا

Abstract

This phenomenological study explores the relationship between knowledge and happiness in Ibn Sina's philosophy, tracing this connection through various aspects. The research question focuses on the role of knowledge and the cultivation of intellectual power in the pursuit of happiness. This qualitative study employs a comprehensive literature review methodology, utilizing reliable sources to conduct an in-depth analysis. The research aims to uncover how knowledge and happiness are interrelated in Ibn Sina's philosophy. One key finding is that Ibn Sina's philosophy is perfection-oriented and eudaimonic, viewing knowledge through the lens of happiness and personal growth, which leads to self-improvement and self-knowledge. In this philosophical framework, the discussion of happiness begins with pleasure and bliss, later expanding to encompass concepts of perfection, goodness, and human psychological expansion. Knowledge is presented not only as a means to experience happiness in this world but also as a pathway to happiness in the afterlife. The significance of this research lies in its emphasis on cultivating the intellect and acquiring knowledge as the route to genuine and unshakable happiness.
