The Philosophy of Language in Islamic Legal Theory
On the Avicennian Classification of Signification in Faḫr ad-dÄ«n ar-RÄzÄ« (d. 1210)
Series:
Author:
In The Philosophy of Language in Islamic Legal Theory Nora Kalbarczyk examines the influential jurisprudential work al-Maḥṣūl fÄ« Ê¿ilm uṣūl al-fiqh (d. 1210). By means of a detailed analysis of the linguistic treatise of this work she highlights the impact of the philosophical tradition on Islamic legal theory (uṣūl al-fiqh) in the so-called post-Avicennian era (11th-14th c.). Her main focus lies on a classification of signification (dalÄla) that can be traced back to Ibn SÄ«nÄ (lat. Avicenna, d. 1037): a word may signify a meaning by way of congruence (muá¹Äbaqa), containment (taá¸ammun) or implication (iltizÄm). The author shows how Faḫr ad-dÄ«n ar-RÄzÄ« develops â on the basis of the Avicennian theory of signification â a hermeneutic toolbox which is not only relevant in the context of Arabic philosophy but also useful for different questions of Islamic legal theory.
Nora Kalbarczyk, Ph.D. (2016), Ruhr-Universität Bochum, is a scholar in Islamic Studies. Her fields of research include Arabic Philosophy and Islamic Legal Theory.
