Abstract

This study reviews Mostafa Najafi’s Language and Reason in Islamic Thought: Faḫr al-Dīn al-Rāzī’s Reconciliation of Manṭiq and Bayān. Fakhr al-Din al-Rāzī (d. 1210) was a prolific thinker who is known through his reconciliation of different branches of knowledge. His contributions to philosophical theology by reconciling Ash‘ari theology with Ibn Sina’s philosophy have been the subject of numerous studies. This book, a revised version of a doctoral thesis submitted to the University of Freiburg, examines Rāzī’s reconciliation of logic and bayan—a relatively less studied area. It is a work that successfully reveals the development of the relationship between linguistics and logic and how it is reconciled in Rāzī’s works.

Özet

Bu çalışma Mostafa Najafi’nin Language and Reason in Islamic Thought: Faḫr al-Dīn al-Rāzī’s Reconciliation of Manṭiq and Bayān adlı eserini tanıtmaktadır. Fahreddin Râzî (ö. 1210) farklı ilim dalları arasında gerçekleştirdiği uzlaşı ile öne çıkan çok yönlü bir düşünürdür. Eş‘arî kelamı ile İbn Sînâ felsefesini uzlaştırıp felsefî kelama yaptığı katkılar birçok çalışmaya konu olmuştur. Freiburg Üniversitesi’ne sunulan bir doktora tezinin gözden geçirilmiş hali olan bu kitapta Najafi, Râzî’nin nispeten daha az çalışılmış bir alan olan mantık ve beyan uzlaşısını incelemektedir. Dilbilim ve mantık ilişkisinin gelişimini ve Râzî’nin eserlerinde nasıl uzlaştırıldığını başarılı bir şekilde ortaya koyan bir çalışmadır.
