The proof is with Abi Al-Barakat Al-Baghdadi

Abstract

Praise be to God alone the Lord of Worlds, Prayer and peace be upon His Prophet and his pure Ahlul-Bait.

Abi Al- Barakat Al-Baghdady occupied a n important position in the history of our Arab Islamic philosophy, he had an original critic ability to which we can hardly find a peer. He comprehended all the different intellectual trends of his period, this is exhibited clearly in his ( Al-Mo`atabar fi Al-Hikmah ) where he put his philosophical project and critical attitude towards his period intellectual trends , this book  had considered all the tiny details of these trends and directions, we can say that it is  the intellectual encyclopedia of Abi Al- Barakat Al-Baghdady period.

Throughout this research, it became clear that Abi Al- Barakat was able to establish the bases of the rational critical method in his ( Al-Mo`atabar fi Al-Hikmah ), this indicates the originality and deepness of this philosopher thought, just like the other Muslim philosophers such as Al-Gazzaly , Averroes and other.

The researchers has many reasons to choose this subject such as :- what had been published  for Abi Al- Barakat is only a small part of his works , he still in need for more and more of the deep study, a number of the researchers had studied his works  before, yet the field of logic is still unstudied, as I believe, hence I decided to study this subject.

The thesis is divided into three chapters , an introduction and a conclusion.

The  first chapter is a an introductory  approach for Abi Al- Barakat Al-Baghdady, it includes the philosopher`s life and works as well as his philosophical method, within the first topic, while the second topic deals with Logic before Abi Al- Barakat Al-Baghdady which is represented by the Greek philosophers, with a brief exhibition for Aristotle Logic, and the Logic for the Philosophers of Islam.
