Working from within a language that has no copula, a group of increasingly independent Arabic philosophers began to critically investigate the semantic role that Aristotle, for many centuries their philosophical authority, invested in the copula as the basis of his logic. Drawing on extensive manuscript research, Klinger breaks through the thicket of unstudied philosophical works to demonstrate the creativity of postclassical Islamic scholarship as it explored the consequences of its intellectual break with the past. Against the still widespread view that intellectual ferment all but disappeared during the period, he shows how these intellectuals over the centuries developed and refined a sophisticated philosophy of language that speaks to core concerns of contemporary linguistics and philosophy. 410 0$aBerkeley Series in Postclassical Islamic Scholarship Series 606 $aArab logic 606 $aGrammar, Comparative and general$xCopula 606 $aPhilosophy, Arab 606 $aPHILOSOPHY / General$2bisacsh 615 0$aArab logic. 615 0$aGrammar, Comparative and general$xCopula. 615 0$aPhilosophy, Arab. 615 7$aPHILOSOPHY / General. 676 $a492.7/501 700 $aKlinger$b Dustin D.$f1989-$01765543 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910880001003321 996 $aBeing Another Way$94207272 997 $aUNINA
