The present article explores the motivations that led JalÄl al-DÄ«n al-DawÄnÄ« (d. 1502) to draw the distinction between what he called âprimary predicationâ (ḥaml awwalÄ«) and âfamiliar predicationâ (ḥaml mutaÊ¿Äraf or ḥaml shÄʾiÊ¿). These motivations include allowing for the predication of particulars, such as âThis is Zaydâ and accounting for apparently true self-negations, such as âThe [concept] particular is not a particular.â The article also explores some criticisms of this distinction by DawÄnÄ«âs contemporary and rival á¹¢adr al-DÄ«n al-DashtakÄ« (d. 1498). Despite these criticisms, DawÄnÄ«âs distinction was adopted, adapted, and emphasized by the Safavid scholar MÄ«r DÄmÄd (d. 1631). MÄ«r DÄmÄdâs influence, in turn, accounts for the prominence given to the distinction in later centuries among Iranian and Indo-Muslim logicians.
