摘要
This article examines Avicenna's responses to three questions regarding the soul: (i) Why does the soul require faculties? (2) Why are the soul's faculties multiple? (3) What is the criterion for their multiplicity? Avicenna uses the rule of one and the soul's simplicity to explain these questions, introducing multiple faculties to resolve the paradox of the soul performing various actions. He argues that the diversity of faculties is due to the generic difference between actions. Fahr al-Din al-Razi raises four objections to Avicenna's explanation. This paper also scrutinizes al-Razi's objections to understand Avicenna's theory better.
