Özet

The soul-body relationship is an issue that has been discussed since ancient philosophers. Plato,Aristotle, and Neo - Platonic philosophers have left deep marks on the soul-body thoughts of the Islamicphilosophers. While Islamic philosophers build their soul theories on the ideas of Antiquity and the New -Platonic philosophers, they introduced a new understanding of soul - body, based on the main sources ofIslam. The soul theory, one of the most important issues of metaphysics, has been the subject of theindependent works of Al-Kindî, Al-Fârâbîus, Avicenna and Averroes, one of the Islamic philosophers.Islamic philosophers tried to explain this subject by evaluating the concepts of intellect, soul, nafs and body.When it comes to the human body, the concept they generally prefer to use is the concept of nafs. In thephilosophy of Islam, the relationship between the soul and body is shaped by the unification of the soul withthe body, its effect on the body, soul's independence, the state of the body, the separation of the soul after thebody's death, and is shaped by whether the soul preserves its individuality. The arguments of Islamicphilosophers on the relationship between soul and body are generally similar. The fact that they wereinfluenced by Ancient philosophers cannot be ignored. However, issues such as the life of the Hereafter,immortality of the soul, heaven and hell, which are the basic subjects of belief in Islam, are also related tothis issue. For this reason, they gave information about these sensitive issues in their thoughts about therelationship between soul and body. In this article, we tried to enlighten the issue of spirit-body relationshipin Islamic philosophy by revealing the thoughts of Al-Kindî, Al-Fârâbius, Avicenna, and Averroes on thespirit-body relationship.
