Hauter, Ashwak Sam (Author)
This paper brings both textual and ethnographic considerations to bear on Ibn Abī Ṣādiq’s (d. 1068/470H) medico-philosophical commentary on the Hippocratic Aphorisms. He considers cases of madness and absence of pain in order to discuss the problem of ikhtilāṭ al-ʿaql (mental derangement) and its relation to the body, soul, and spirit. Focusing on ikhtilāṭ offers a space to examine an important configuration at the limit of the physical, the metaphysical, and spiritual. Ultimately, a close reading of Ibn Abī Ṣādiq’s commentaries moves toward a theoretical psychology (a theory of the soul) and a medico-philosophical language of the subjective experience of pain.
