Abstract

Ibn Sina’s approach to the imaginative faculty (quwwah musawwirah, or khayâl) and its stored perceptions is without harmony. This paper tries to examine these different approaches and study this incoherence. In the first step, the Sheikh with respect to the principle thought of mashaei and the process of the knowledge ABSTRACTION to acquire self or soul (nafs) perceptions believes that it is necessary the materiality and its capacity for the distinction and recognition of partial imaginative perceptions and also believes the absolute (pure) materiality of imaginative perceptions and its capacity. In his second approach with a serious uncertainty, he criticized the materiality of imaginative perceptions. He affirmed in this position that imaginative representations (forms) should not be physical, unless with changing and evolution of body’s parts and the capacity of these forms mean the imaginative faculty should be changed. But at the end, because of propounding the ABSTRACTION of soul (self) perfection and the restriction of its perception to rational generalizations the sheikh could not present the ABSTRACTION of the partial imaginative perceptions specifically. The last approach of Avicenna to the IMAGINATION and its perceptions should be investigated under his special theory of the unity of soul (self) and its different faculties and also his affirming the inability of the process of the ABSTRACTION in acquiring the prime stored perceptions of the IMAGINATION. According to this, the sheikh in different positions believes that the IMAGINATION has functions and specifications which necessarily make the imperfectness (incompleteness) of the IMAGINATION apparently (in a glance look).
