Islamic Disputation Theory: The Uses & Rules of Argument in Medieval Islam
Larry Miller
Over 35 years ago, Larry Benjamin Miller completed his field-founding doctoral dissertation, Islamic Disputation Theory, and opened the way to rediscovering an ocean of sophisticated, premodern dialectic and critical argumentation. Thanks to the kind encouragement of Shahid Rahman, and the critical venue of his “Logic, Argumentation & Reasoning” series (Springer), Larry Miller has finally published his dissertation as an indexed monograph. Copies can be ordered now.
Inferences by Parallel Reasoning in Islamic Jurisprudence: Al-Shīrāzī’s Insights into the Dialectical Constitution of Meaning and Knowledge
Shahid Rahman and Muhammad Iqbal (introduction by Youcef Soufi)
From Springer’s description:
“This monograph proposes a new (dialogical) way of studying the different forms of correlational inference, known in the Islamic jurisprudence as qiyās. According to the authors’ view, qiyās represents an innovative and sophisticated form of dialectical reasoning that not only provides new epistemological insights into legal argumentation in general (including legal reasoning in Common and Civil Law) but also furnishes a fine-grained pattern for parallel reasoning which can be deployed in a wide range of problem-solving contexts and does not seem to reduce to the standard forms of analogical reasoning studied in contemporary philosophy of science and argumentation theory.
