[edit] Dualism

I have come across several references to Islamic logic being dualistic—capable of admitting contradictory theses. Can anyone comment on this?--Adoniscik (talk) 18:15, 23 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] What is meant by 'Islamic' here?

I'm a little confused by this article, in that it never quite makes clear in what sense any of this 'Islamic'. The portion about fuzzy logic seems to suggest that what is intended is only contributions to logic that come from 'the Islamic world'. I'm not clear on why such geographical facts should be of philosophical interest---it seems analogous to talking about contributions to logic made by people whose name begins with 'Z'. On the other hand, if what is intended by 'Islamic' is some natural class of ideas associated with a philosophical tradition connected to reasoning about Islamic texts, as the earlier section of the article seems to suggest, perhaps it would help to make clearer how Islam colored the development of these ideas. Maybe specific brief examples of particular arguments (or sketches thereof) would be useful? (None of this is intended to suggest that this article isn't really interesting, though... I found it very informative.)—Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.209.55.235 (talk) 21:14, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
