Al-Jahiz's Educational Thought Strategies

Abstract

The strategic foundations that Al-Jahiz follows in consolidating scientific principles, which are based on a number of concepts such as thinking and the educational process with its intellectual foundations, which Al-Jahiz restricted to methodological doubt, experiment and extrapolation that are necessary to verify the support of theories and the consolidation of facts.

Al-Jahiz's educational style, which took writing as a means of disseminating science and knowledge, and made it one of the most important ways to teach science, is based on what he possesses of solid scientific methods - which impose themselves on him assuming the validity of the evidence and the clarity of the proof - and what is concentrated in the mind of the general public. Society, the author of Al-Dabaa’ Dictionary mentioned the dialogue that took place about Al-Jahiz’s scientific standing, and he is one of his contemporaries: (By God, if he put a message in the tip of my nose, it would only become famous in China)*.
