Abstract
Abstract This paper deals with a solution to the infamous liar paradox, usually known in the Arabic literature as Maġlaṭat al-ǧaḏr al-aṣamm. The solution is raised by a fifteenth-century Ottoman treatise that is attributed, among others, to Ḫaṭībzāde Muḥyiddīn Efendī. The paper also compares it with the solution by the contemporary Persian philosopher, Ǧalāl al-Dīn al-Dawānī. The short treatise devoted to the paradox is one of the few works by Ottomans on the subject and it comprehensively addresses the paradox in its two forms. An analysis of the solution offered by the treatise to the paradox, the paper aims to bring Ottoman discussions of the liar to the attention of contemporary scholarship and contribute to filling the obvious gap in the literature on the paradox in Islamic thought.
摘要本文探讨了阿拉伯文学中著名的说谎者悖论Maġlaṭat al-ǧaḏr al-aṣamm的解决方法。这个解决方案是由15世纪奥斯曼帝国的一篇论文提出的，其中包括Ḫaṭībzāde Muḥyiddīn efendi。本文还将其与当代波斯哲学家Ǧalāl al- d n al-Dawānī的解决方案进行了比较。这篇关于悖论的短文是奥斯曼关于这一主题的为数不多的作品之一，它以两种形式全面地阐述了悖论。本文分析了这篇论文对这一悖论提供的解决方案，旨在使奥斯曼帝国对说谎者的讨论引起当代学术界的注意，并有助于填补关于伊斯兰思想悖论的文献中的明显空白。
期刊介绍：
Arabic Sciences and Philosophy (ASP) is an international journal devoted to the Arabic sciences, mathematics and philosophy in the world of Islam between the eighth and eighteenth centuries, in a cross-cultural context. In 2009, the journal extended its scope to include important papers on scientific modernization from the nineteenth century in the Islamic world. Together with original studies on the history of all these fields, ASP also offers work on the inter-relations between Arabic and Greek, Indian, Chinese, Latin, Byzantine, Syriac and Hebrew sciences and philosophy. Casting new light on the growth of these disciplines, as well as on the social and ideological context in which this growth took place, ASP is essential reading for those interested in these areas.
