ibn gabirol’s theology of desire
Drawing on Arabic passages from Ibn Gabirol’s original
Fons Vitae
text and high-
lighting philosophical insights from his Hebrew poetry, Sarah Pessin develops a
Theology of Desire at the heart of Ibn Gabirol’s eleventh-century cosmo-ontology.
She challenges centuries of received scholarship on his work, including his so-
called Doctrine of Divine Will. Pessin rejects voluntarist readings of the
Fons
Vitae
as opposing divine emanation. She also emphasizes Pseudo-Empedoclean
notions of Divine Desire and Grounding Element alongside Ibn Gabirol’s use of
a particularly Neoplatonic method with apophatic (and what she terms “doubly
apophatic”) implications. In this way, Pessin reads claims about matter as insights
about love, desire, the human relation to goodness, wisdom and God, and the
receptive, dependent, and fragile nature of human being. Pessin reenvisions the
entire spirit of Ibn Gabirol’s philosophy, moving us from a set of doctrines to a
fluid inquiry into the nature of God and human being – and the bond between
God and human being in desire.
Sarah Pessin is Associate Professor of Philosophy and the Emil and Eva Hecht
Chair in Judaic Studies at the University of Denver. She works on Neoplatonisms
(Greek, Jewish, Islamic, and Christian), medieval philosophy, modern Jewish phi-
losophy, and comparative philosophies of religion. She has presented and pub-
lished widely, including contributions to
The Cambridge Companion to Medieval
Jewish Philosophy,
the
Routledge Companion to Islamic Philosophy, The Cambridge
History of Medieval Philosophy,
the
Blackwell History of Philosophy in the Middle
Ages,
the
Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy,
and the
Journal of the History of
Philosophy.
Her research interests include the phenomenology of receptivity, the
nature of apophatic discourse, methodologies for the study of intercultural texts,
and Jewish theologies of exile.
