| Summary: | Throughout the literature of Islam Philosophy, the first examples of the tradition of story telling are that of Ibn Sina. However, translated from Greek by Huneyn b. Ishak, Salaman and Absal story and the story of Er, the son of Armeios, in the work of Platon: 'State' has inspired Ibn Sina and other Islam philosophers in terms of symbolic narration. The work of Ibn Sina Hayy b. Yakzan has paved the way for similar works such as Gurbatul Garbiyye written by Suhravardi, Hayy b. Yakzan by Ibn Tufeyl, Salaman and Absal by Molla Jami. For his paper on the symbolic work of Ibn Sina 'Hayy b. Yakzan', Ali Suavi choose the name of two characters Salaman and Absal. However 'Salaman and Absal' rather than being an independent work of Ibn Sina, is only a symbolic expression in the tenth chapter of his work al-Işarat va’t-Tanbihat. The aim of Ali Suavi is to compare the works not only Ibn Sina but also of other Islam philosophers who chose the same characters. About the sources of the story, unlike other views that have been put forward, Holy Scripture has been included in this analysis. Before that analysis, other claims were on the side that the sources are from Ancient Greek, Egypt and Arabic. Therefore, bringing a new perspective to the topic, Ali Suavi has paved the way for rediscussion of Salaman and Absal stories. |
