The preferred [view] according to me (al-mukhtar 'indi) is that
the claim for the existence of the hyle--on this interpretation
[of the hyle by Aristotle, al-Farabi and Ibn Sina]--is invalid
(batil). See al-Azma al-lubnaniyya: al-tawa'if
al-diniyya, al-tabaqat al-ijtima 'iyya, wal-hawiyya al-wataniyya
(The Lebanese Crisis: Sects, Classes, and National Identity) (Beirut:
Dar al-Farabi, 1998). This section represents a fundamental break from the
first and last sections, in that here al-Farabi gives a sequential
account of the origin of language and the emergence of various
disciplines (in the first and last sections of his book he is concerned
instead with the meaning of philosophical terms). |
