THE RECIPE OF THE IDEAS OF EPICUREMISM IN THE “SPIRITUAL MEDICINE” ABU BAKRA AR-RAZI: SOCIO-PHILOSOPHICAL CONTEXT

Abstract

The philosophy of the medieval Islamic thinker Abu Bakr ar-Razi is based on a pluralistic concept and the synthesis of the philosophical thought of ancient Iran and Greece. The analysis of the “Spiritual Medicine” ar-Razi shows the generality of the thinker's reflections with the fundamental principles of epicureanism. However, “Spiritual Medicine” Abu Bakr ar-Razi can not be considered a mere compilation of Epicurus' ideas, this work is their creative rethinking from the point of view of the philosopher and doctor in a new historical and cultural era.
