Ibn Sina has been the object of many contemporary studies, all of which have attempted to examine various angles of the possible connection between Ibn Sina and mysticism. These studies, however, have not fully explored Ibn Sina's understanding of mysticism; he is generally seen as the most rational philosopher who ever lived and, therefore, unlikely to have been a mystic in any sense. In response to this claim, the present study aims to reconsider Ibn Sina's connection with mysticism and to examine his own perception of this tradition. / This thesis first looks at the various factors which may possibly have contributed to Ibn Sina's mystical thought. Two of these were his spiritual consciousness and the Shi'ite milieu of his times. The intellectual tradition in which Ibn Sina lived, and his exposure to different aspects of Islamic intellectual tradition, were another factor that shaped his mystical thought. This thesis also attempts to reread Ibn Sina's mystical works in order to reveal his methodological perspective on mysticism. Ibn Sina incorporates mystical experience in a symbolic narrative into his work. He also theorized about mystical experience, using S&dotbelow;ufi terms like mystical knowledge ('irfan) and love ('ihsq), and tried to explain these experiences in a systematic fashion. / Ibn Sina's main contribution to the field of mysticism is his attempt to reconcile and to connect the different traditions of Neoplatonism, gnosticism, and S&dotbelow;ufism. It is remarkable how these ideas fit into a common framework---that of mysticism. These ideas may possibly stem from his close understanding of and sympathy with S&dotbelow;ufi discourse. Ibn Sina also contributed to a new literary genre in S&dotbelow;ufi literature, most notably in his visionary recitals, which express a sort of mystical experience.

The intention of this project is to explicate several arguments advanced in the esoteric treatise Al-Risalah al-Ad&dotbelow;h&dotbelow;awiyya fi amr al-Macad, Avicenna's treatise par excellence on the subject of resurrection. This study of Ad&dotbelow;h&dotbelow;awiyya is primarily exegetical and limits itself to ideas which grant Ad&dotbelow;h&dotbelow;awiyya a character of its own. Consequently, the scholastic demonstrations Ad&dotbelow;h&dotbelow;awiyya shares in common with Avicenna's other writings are left aside. / Ad&dotbelow;h&dotbelow;awiyya contains a number of arguments, for example those directed against the mutakallimun, which cannot be found elsewhere in Avicenna's writings. It also presents two purely psychological demonstrations for the immateriality---and hence immortality---of the rational soul. Finally, Ad&dotbelow;h&dotbelow;awiyya explicitly describes the states of the souls in the hereafter, and reveals the principle upon which Avicenna founds his doctrine of al-macad.

Cette recherche vise à étudier la double réponse de l'Etat et une partie de la population sud péruvienne de la catastrophe provoquée par le tremblement de terre du 13 Août 1868 aux départements du sud du Pérou. Basé sur la mémoire sismique profondément enracinée dans cette région, produit de souvenirs de grands tremblements de terre au cours des trois cents dernières années, cet événement sismique a été perçu par ses contemporains comme le plus violent de toute l'histoire de la région de la côte sud du Pérou. Aujourd'hui, les sismologues également ont reconnu comme la plus grande ampleur et l'intensité ont eu lieu non seulement dans la région mais à travers le Pérou au cours des cinq derniers siècles. D'autre part, dans la zone touchée ont été réglées centres urbains des centaines d'échelle très différente, allant des grandes villes aux petites villes comme Arequipa seulement des centaines d'habitants autochtones, situés dans les parties supérieures de la montagne. Par conséquent, la catastrophe de 1868 est le résultat de l'interaction initiale de deux facteurs, un fréquent événement géologique dans la région directement touchée structure urbaine diversifiée, vulnérables à l'action d'un phénomène naturel de cette ampleur. À travers le titre que je voulais mettre en évidence tous les éléments impliqués dans cette recherche. D'une part, une situation (la catastrophe) impliquant deux joueurs (la société et de l'Etat), a accéléré directement par un événement naturel (tremblement de terre), qui se produit dans un domaine spécifique (départements péruviens du sud), comparativement à qui développe un processus (reconstruction) s'étendant sur une dizaine d'années (1868-1878). La réaction de l'Etat a été rapide que possible pour faire face à la phase d'urgence et de réhabilitation. Toutefois, la reconstruction a été une période d'une décennie qui mets en évidence les carences de l'État que l'allocation des ressources dans la région touchée n'était pas constant dans le temps et, bien au contraire diminué de quasiment disparaître dans les préoccupations budgétaires des gouvernements successifs des années 1870. Pendant ce temps, l'économie s'est redressée de manière significative, matérialisée dans un processus qui est à la fois une augmentation du volume de la production agricole, en particulier le vin et le commerce intérieur et international. Ne doit pas être négligé que la reconstruction a dû faire face à des difficultés en raison de l'émergence de nouveaux risques naturels influencé aussi les difficultés à maintenir un rythme approprié de récupération. La recherche a également identifié une internationalisation de la catastrophe, c'est à dire, l'ensemble des informations de diverses manières (privé, militaire et diplomatique) a élargi la connaissance des caractéristiques de la catastrophe qui contribuent de manière significative à la création de conditions pour l'organisation et l'orientation l'aide de différentes origines, mais surtout monétaire de la zone touchée. / This research aims to study the dual response of the state and a section of the southern Peruvian population to the catastrophe caused by the earthquake of August 13, 1868 in the departments of southern Peru. Based on seismic memory deeply rooted in that area, souvenir product of large earthquakes in the past three hundred years, this seismic event was perceived by contemporaries as the most violent of all the regional history of the southern coast of Peru. Today, seismologists also recognized as the largest magnitude and intensity occurred not only in the area but throughout Peru in the last five centuries. On the other hand, in the affected area were settled urban centers hundreds of very different scale, ranging from large cities to small towns like Arequipa just hundreds indigenous inhabitants, located in the upper parts of the mountain. Therefore, the catastrophe of 1868 is the result of the initial interaction of two factors, one frequently occurring geological event in the area directly affected diverse urban structure, vulnerable to the action of a natural phenomenon of this magnitude. Through the title I wanted to highlight all the elements involved in this research. On one hand, a situation (the catastrophe) involving two players (the society and the state), accelerated directly by a natural event (the earthquake), which occurs in a specific area (southern Peruvian departments), compared to which develops a process (reconstruction) extending for about a decade (1868-1878). The state's reaction was swift as possible to deal with the emergency and rehabilitation phase. However, the reconstruction was a period over a decade demonstrated the failings of the state as the allocation of resources to the affected area was not constant in time and quite the contrary diminished to virtually disappear in the budgetary concerns of successive governments of the 1870s. Meanwhile, the economy recovered significantly, materialized process both increased volume of agricultural production, especially wine, and domestic and international trade. Should not be overlooked that the reconstruction had to face difficulties due to the emergence of new natural hazards influenced also the difficulties to maintain an appropriate pace of recovery. Research has also identified an internationalization of the disaster, ie, the set of information in various ways (private, military and diplomatic) expanded the knowledge of the characteristics of the disaster significantly contributing to creating conditions for the organization and referral aid of different origins, although mainly Monetary to the affected area.
