How does language produce truth and beauty? Eleventh-century Arabic scholarship has detailed answers to these universal questions. Language Between God and the Poets reads the theory of four major scholars and asks how the conceptual vocabulary they shared enabled them to create theory in lexicography, theology, logic, and poetics. Their ideas engaged God and poetry at the nexus of language, mind, and reality. Their core conceptual vocabulary carved reality at the joints in a manner quite different from Anglophone and European thought in any period. This vocabulary centered around the words ma?n? ("mental content") and ?aq?qah ("accuracy"), two concepts for which Alexander Key develops a translation methodology with the help of Wittgenstein and Kuhn. Language Between God and the Poets helps us see how fundamental the lexicon and lexicography can be to all kinds of theory, how theology can be a science of naming, how logic interacts with language, and how poetic affect can be built on grammar and logic. The four scholars are ar-R??ib al-I?fah?n?, Ibn F?rak, Ibn S?n? (Avicenna), and ?Abd al-Q?hir al-G?urg??n?. 606 $aLiterary Criticism / Ancient & Classical$2bisacsh 606 $aHistory / Ancient$2bisacsh 606 $aPhilosophy$2bisacsh 606 $aLiterature$xHistory and criticism 615 7$aLiterary Criticism / Ancient & Classical 615 7$aHistory / Ancient 615 7$aPhilosophy 615 0$aLiterature$xHistory and criticism. 700 $aKey$b Alexander$01022172 801 0$bScCtBLL 801 1$bScCtBLL 912 $a9910870868803321 996 $aLanguage between God and the Poets$92427862 997 $aUNINA
