تكوين العقل العربي

مقدمة

The first volume of Muhammad Abed al-Jabri’s four-volume Critique of Arab Reason (1984–2001), published in Beirut in 1984. The Moroccan philosopher examines “Arab reason” not as a mental faculty but as the set of rules for producing knowledge that took shape in the “age of codification” in the eighth and ninth centuries. He distinguishes three epistemic systems: bayan (explication, based on text and analogy, in grammar, law and theology), irfan (gnostic illumination, in Sufism and Shia thought) and burhan (demonstration, in Aristotelian philosophy). Al-Jabri sees the rationalism of Averroes and the Maghreb as a model for Arab renewal. The Syrian thinker Georges Tarabishi answered with a multi-volume critique.
