Viewpoint of the intelletuals with regard to their relation with the political power in the nasrid era
Abstract
This article analyzes the different viewpoints of certain intellectuals of the Nasrid era in al- Andalus with regards to their relation with political power. It shows their opinions on whether it was convenient or not to collaborate with the ruler, their points of view with respect to their position within the sultan's retinue, on the permissibility of accepting or rejecting gifts, on obedience to the sultan and the possible risks inherent in the relationship between intellectual and ruler, and finally on the consequences of servitude and the dissociation and removal from power.Downloads
