Out of the traditions of juristic and philosophical dialectics there arose a new theory of dialectics or disputation, the ādāb al-baḥth or general theory of disputation. In this chapter, we shall discuss the ādāb al-baḥth and relate it to the traditions from which it took its inspiration. In this chapter, I try to show how ādāb al-baḥth emerged as an independent intellectual discipline and literary genre by adopting concepts from Aristotelean logic and philosophy as well as rules formulated in the context of both juridical and theological dialectics. Al-Samarqandī’s combined these traditions principally by his application of Aristotle’s epistemology to the rules of debate. |
