==== Davlat Dadikhuda ====

~~#### Metaphysics~~ and ~~first~~ philosophy

'''Davlat Dadikhuda''' is a contemporary philosopher specialising in [[Avicenna]], Avicennism, and the post-Avicennian philosophical tradition. His research concerns metaphysics, epistemology, philosophy of mind, philosophy of religion, philosophical theology, causation, divine simplicity, the soul, and the relationship between Peripatetic, Illuminationist, mystical, and kalām traditions.

===== Selected works =====

Dadikhuda, Davlat. “[https://philpapers.org/rec/DADNTS Not That Simple: Avicenna, Rāzī, and Ṭūsī on the Incorruptibility of the Human Soul at ''Ishārāt'' VII.6].” In ''Islamic Philosophy from the 12th to the 14th Century'', edited by Abdelkader Al Ghouz, 279–306. Bonn: Bonn University Press, 2018.

* Examines Avicenna’s argument for the incorruptibility of the human soul and its critical reception by [[Fakhr al-Din al-Razi|Fakhr al-Dīn al-Rāzī]] and [[Nasir al-Din al-Tusi|Naṣīr al-Dīn al-Ṭūsī]].

* Useful for the study of the soul, immaterial intellect, personal persistence, immortality, and the relationship between consciousness and embodiment.

Dadikhuda, Davlat. “[https://doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780198845515.003.0001 ‘Not So Ridiculous’: Avicenna on the Existence of Nature (ṭabīʿa) contra Aristotle and the Ashʿarites].” ''Oxford Studies in Medieval Philosophy'' 7 (2019): 1–43.

* Reconstructs Avicenna’s argument that natural bodies possess real intrinsic causal powers.

* Places Avicenna between Aristotelian accounts that treated nature as self-evident and Ashʿarite occasionalism, which denied genuine creaturely causal efficacy.

* Especially useful for WikiHikmah discussions of causation, grounding, natural regularity, the principle of sufficient reason, and the relationship between divine and secondary causation.

Dadikhuda, Davlat. “[https://doi.org/10.12658/Nazariyat.6.2.M0114en Rule of the One: Avicenna, Bahmanyār, and al-Rāzī on the Argument from the ''Mubāḥathāt''].” ''Nazariyat: Journal for the History of Islamic Philosophy and Sciences'' 6, no. 2 (2020): 69–97.

* Analyses the Avicennian principle known as ''qāʿidat al-wāḥid'': “from the one, only one immediately proceeds.”

* Argues that the rule is not merely a specialised principle of cosmological emanation but a general principle governing efficient causation.

* Examines the objections of Bahmanyār and Fakhr al-Dīn al-Rāzī and the realist metaphysical assumptions underlying Avicenna’s argument.

* Particularly relevant to the relation between unity and multiplicity, emanation, ontological dependence, causal order, and the derivation of multiplicity from a simple first principle.

Dadikhuda, Davlat. “[https://doi.org/10.1017/S0034412524000799 Avicennian DDS: The Divine Essence, Knowledge, and Power].” ''Religious Studies'' 61, no. 3 (2025): 566–589.

* Systematically reconstructs the Avicennian doctrine of divine simplicity.

* Examines how divine essence, knowledge, and power can be understood without introducing composition or distinct constituent properties into God.

* Defends the Avicennian position against contemporary objections associated with doctrines of divine complexity.

* Directly relevant to WikiHikmah’s treatment of the Necessary Existent, divine simplicity, the identity of essence and attributes, metaphysical unity, divine knowledge, and divine power.

Dadikhuda, Davlat. “[https://doi.org/10.1080/14746700.2025.2514314 An Adjudication Between Avicenna, Ghazālī, and Moad on the Second Avicennian Argument].” ''Theology and Science'' 23, no. 3 (2025): 656–674.

* Reconstructs the dispute between Avicenna and [[Al-Ghazali|al-Ghazālī]] concerning an Avicennian argument connected with the world’s eternity.

* Distinguishes Avicenna’s original reasoning from al-Ghazālī’s presentation of it and evaluates a modern defence of al-Ghazālī’s criticism.

* Useful for examining necessary creation, divine immutability, time, change, the eternity or temporal origination of the cosmos, and the historical philosophical meaning of “creation.”

===== Classification =====

* '''Type:''' Academic / Scholar / Papers / Book chapters / Secondary scholarship

* '''Field:''' Islamic philosophy; Avicennism; post-Avicennian philosophy; metaphysics; epistemology; philosophy of mind; philosophy of religion; philosophical theology

* '''Subject:''' Avicenna; Bahmanyār; Fakhr al-Dīn al-Rāzī; Naṣīr al-Dīn al-Ṭūsī; al-Ghazālī; divine simplicity; divine attributes; causation; natural powers; emanation; unity and multiplicity; the human soul; immortality; eternity of the world

* '''Related entailments:''' Necessary Ground; Divine simplicity; Ontological priority; Causation as grounding; Necessary creation; Consciousness; Sovereignty of Intellect

* '''Use for WikiHikmah:''' Dadikhuda’s work provides detailed contemporary reconstructions of central Avicennian arguments rather than merely reporting Avicenna’s conclusions. It is especially valuable for clarifying the rational structure of Avicennian divine simplicity, the derivation of multiplicity from unity, the reality of secondary causes, the incorruptibility of the intellectual soul, and the philosophical dispute over whether divine perfection entails an eternal or necessary causal order.

His work can be used both constructively and comparatively: constructively, to formulate rigorous arguments concerning simplicity, necessity, intellect, causation, and emanation; and comparatively, to identify where Hikmah Islam agrees with, modifies, or moves beyond classical Avicennism. It is particularly relevant to the Consciousness–Existence Model wherever the model addresses necessary manifestation, graded ontological dependence, the relation between unity and multiplicity, and the status of consciousness independently of bodily composition.

* '''Status:''' Important / To read / Cited

* '''Notes:''' Dadikhuda combines close engagement with Arabic and Persian philosophical texts with methods associated with contemporary analytic philosophy. His work is therefore useful for translating technically difficult Islamic philosophical arguments into explicit premises, distinctions, objections, and responses. Particular attention should be given to his treatments of divine simplicity and the “rule of the one,” since both bear directly upon WikiHikmah’s account of the Necessary Ground and the ordered emergence of multiplicity.
