Abstract

Just as some premisses are predicative (ḥamliyya) and others are conditional (sharṭiyya), so also with quaesita: some are predicative and others are conditional. And just as some predicative propositions are asserted without a syllogistic reasoning and others require such a reasoning to be asserted, so also with conditionals. Many theses in mathematics, physics, and metaphysics are connective-(muttaṣila) or separative-(munfaṣila) con. 10 ditionals. Predicative propositions can be shown by predicative or conditional syllogisms; whereas conditional propositions are deduced either from pure (ṣirfa) or mixed (mukhtalaṭa) conditional syllogisms as we shall explain3, but never, as you know, from predicative syllogisms.
