Lagi Mengenai ar-Razi (865-925 or 935)


Petikan entri asal (link):

Ar-Razi merupakan seorang tokoh perubatan silam Islam yang terkenal. Entri mengenai ar-Razi pernah dimuatkan di link geop. Nama betul beliau adalah Abu Bakar Muhammad bin Zakaria bin Yahya ar-Razi. Jangan pula keliru dengan seorang lagi ar-Razi iaitu Fakhrudin ar-Razi (d.1210M). Sedikit info tambahan mengenai ar-Razi dimuatkan di sini diambil dari buku Chase Robinson.

ar-Razi was one of a small handful of Abbasid-era free thinkers (?) along with figures such as Abu Isa al-Warraq (d.994 wiki) and Ibn al-Rawandi (d. c. 910 – wiki). Apakah yang dimaksud oleh Robinson tentang free-thinker?. Hal ini perlu di lihat dan dikaji lagi.

al-Razi also wrote on politics, logic, theology, alchemy and medicine. He is also famous with quote “reason should be govern, and not be governed; should control and not be controlled; should lead, and not be led”.

Satu petikan(wiki - link):

Because of his supposed rejection of prophecy and acceptance of reason as the primary method for accessing the truth, al-Razi came to be admired as a free thinker by some. [mostly by westerner].

Ar-Razi dikenali sebagai Rhazes oleh pengkaji Barat
