Stoic influences in a message pay off sorrows to Al-Kindi
Abstract
Researchers in the field of philosophy have dealt with the philosophy of al-Kindi as the first Arab philosopher, and through what was stated in the writings of researchers that al-Kindi is a philosopher influenced by Plato and Aristotle. Al-Kindi) or as I mentioned in the book “Arab Media” by Ahmad Fouad Al-Ahwani (The Trick to Pay for Sorrows, in which he says that it is a letter published in 18 AD on a single manuscript published by Professor Ritter, which encouraged me to read and study what this message contained. From philosophical ideas and after the effort I exerted in examining the message, and if I found out that al-Kind in this letter appears to be a narrator, and from here the danger appears at the beginning of philosophical thinking in Islam because the Stoic philosophy was known as materialistic. But even though Stoicism was known to be materialistic, but it seemed materialistic among its early pioneers, including Olive, because his teachings are based mainly on the blending of cynicism and Heraclitus' doctrine. However, the Stoics are moving away from materialism little by little thanks to the blending of the new Platonic doctrine to their doctrine, until it came to the end only A slight effect of materialism on their doctrine, or that it was completely executed by some of them, as we showed later, and the moral aspect, which most of them considered the most important of all, and the truth is that it has changed only a very small change, as in the later periods they increased their interest in morals, especially in those parts of theology. Which is closely related to ethics, so my neighborhood will be limited to the ethical side of the hallways and the effect of this aspect on the ethical side of his message in pushing the other two. Therefore, with stoicism, we begin.
