  • On knowledge

    It struck me that knowledge in the context of university/madrassa is knowledge in a specialist way or knowledge in a general way. Aristotle proposed that learning consists of deriving particulars from the general. I propose it is other than this.

    Learning has as its telos to arrive at pre-derivative knowledge.

  • On form

    During the course of my Artistic studies the thought has arisen that the only improvement in ones art i.e. the only progress one makes in art is improvement of form. That is to say only technical expertise improves.

    If this were to be true Avicennan epistemology would triumph over Mulla Sadra’s epistemology.
