Document Details : Title: Logic as Interconfessional Weapon in the Early Islamicate World Subtitle: Manṭiq, Qiyās, Kalām Author(s): STROUMSA, Sarah Journal: Journal of Eastern Christian Studies Volume: 72 Issue: 3-4 Date: 2020 Pages: 181-201 DOI: 10.2143/JECS.72.3.3288664 Abstract : The present paper focuses on the use of logic (including Aristotelian logic) by Arabic-speaking theologians in the formative period of theology in Arabic, especially in polemical settings. It attempts to draw on the evidence regarding a somewhat neglected edge of the monotheistic triangle, namely the Arabic-speaking Jewish theologians in the third/ninth and fourth/tenth century. |
