| Tóm tắt: | This article looks at the positive associations and definitions of bodily pleasure developed within the Islamic intellectual field between the 10th and 14th century. These associations stand in opposition to the negative definitions that deny the existence of real bodily pleasure and reduce it to a cessation of pain and a return to a natural state. The positive approach sees bodily pleasure as a good created by God to guide the body in this life towards the eternal good. Pleasure is developed in this article to be a drive towards what sustains life and as an experiential guide to the eternal pleasures of the hereafter. |
