In the treatise entitled Fī l-tadbīrāt al-falakiyya (On the Governments of the Celestial Spheres), he explores themes like good arrangement (al-sharḥ wa-l-niẓām), reason (naṭīq), and the rational soul (al-nafs al-nāṭiqa). These concepts frame the emanative process where the First Cause creates and governs the cosmos. Nature, embodying divine power, compensates for human imperfections with the rational soul while maintaining cosmic harmony. This study highlights key passages, illustrating Alexander Arabus’ contribution to Arabic Aristotelianism. 2026-02-16T19:34:27Z 2026-02-16T19:34:27Z 2025-06-20 chapter 9788875903459 https://directory.doabooks.org/handle/20.500.12854/172077 eng Quaderni di Noctua image/jpeg application/pdf Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International https://dx.doi.org/10.14640/QuadernidiNoctua8-1 https://dx.doi.org/10.14640/QuadernidiNoctua8-1 E-theca OnLineOpenAccess Edizioni La ragione nella storia E-theca OnLineOpenAccess Edizioni, Università degli Studi di Torino 10.14640/QuadernidiNoctua8-1 Alexander of Aphrodisias (2nd–3rd century CE), a key figure in Hellenic philosophy, influenced Arabic-speaking thinkers through two distinct interpretations: a Neoplatonized Aristotelianism and a faithful Peripatetic approach.
