“ISAGHUJI” BY ASIRIDDIN AL-ABHARI – A BOOK ON LOGIC

Abstract

In the work of the French philosopher Alexandre Coyre, “Essays on the History of Philosophical Thought,” it is suggested that the development of philosophy, including the science of logic, has stopped in the Islamic world since the 13th century. He wrote that the prosperity of the Arab-Islamic civilization did not last long; The Arab world has lost, or rather abandoned, the classical heritage accumulated by the Latin West. Is this really true? If yes, what are the reasons? These questions determined the topic of our article. In search of answers, we studied the works of some authors who studied the history of Arabic logic, and decided to present the results of our small study using the example of the work of Asiriddin al-Abhari.
