Visit www.luminosoa.org to learn more. In the Arabic
eleventh-century, scholars were intensely preoccupied with the way
that language generated truth and beauty. Their work in poetics,
logic, theology, and lexicography defined the intellectual space
between God and the poets. In Language Between God and the Poets,
Alexander Key argues that ar-Raghib al-Isfahani, Ibn Furak, Ibn
Sina (Avicenna), and Abd al-Qahir al-Jurjani shared a conceptual
vocabulary based on the words ma'na and haqiqah. They used this
vocabulary to build theories of language, mind, and reality that
answered perennial questions: how to structure language and
reference, how to describe God, how to construct logical arguments,
and how to explain poetic affect.
