Takhyil is a term from Arabic poetics denoting the evocation of
images. It has a broad spectrum of connotations throughout
classical philosophical poetics and rhetoric, and it is closely
linked to the Greek concept of phantasia. This volume is comprised
of annotated translations of key texts on this topic from major
philosophers and literary theoreticians, including Alfarabi
(al-Farabi), Avicenna (Ibn Sina), Averroes (Ibn Rushd), and 'Abd
al-Qahir al-Jurjani. In her preface, the classicist Anne Sheppard
relates takhyil to Greek poetics, and in his introduction, Wolfhart
Heinrichs traces the development of the term in the Arabic
tradition. The second part of the book contains eight studies on
takhyil and various aspects of image-evocation and how it relates
to musical theory, literary criticism and rhetoric. The opening
essay is by Katrin Kohl, a specialist in European poetics, who
places takhyil in the wider context of poetic universals.
