It particularly argues that purely intelligible, ‘abstract’ concepts, universal natures and general principles objectively apply to the world, against schools of thought that contend that they are subjectively imposed. It is only by discerning the congruity or discordance of these fundamental instruments of general metaphysics with forms of extramental reality, that we are able to avoid the implication that their lack of sensible referents implies our knowledge of the world – which is contingent upon the employment of these instruments – must be ultimately subjective. These intelligible entities, universal natures and general principles can thus only be validated by situating them within an all-encompassing theory of objective reality and truth, in the Islamic tradition nafs al-amr or ‘things as they are’. Transcending individual minds and sensible reality, such a theory must be sufficiently broad to account for the ultimate ontological and henological status of such universal and abstract principles and forms. This study demonstrates that a synthetical approach to the nature of objective reality and truth, drawing on the Avicennan and kalām, and especially Platonic and Akbarian traditions, is capable of effectively responding to subjectivist, anti-metaphysical views on the nature of the world and our knowledge of it. It purports to do this in a manner that strengthens the deepest foundations underlying traditional natural theology, illustrating that the physical world of particulars is ‘intelligible’ (in the sense of ‘objectively knowable’) exactly because it is a branch of an ‘intelligible’ (as the contrary of ‘sensible’), non-physically instantiated world. https://www.classificationofthesciences.com/publications/project-one-9mynr monthly 0.5 2021-04-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6058598d6050fd72cdfe4043/ecf6a052-9692-42bd-bdca-954e28ccda29/Revised_Cover_JPG.jpeg Publications - Anatomy of Knowledge - The Anatomy of Knowledge & The Ontological Necessity of First Principles This paper in the series explores one of the first principles of metaphysics, the principle of identity in its logical form, namely, the principle of non-contradiction, and the relationship between its metaphysical and logical dimensions. It is invariably the task of revelation to provide definable and recognizable references that can be brought into human understanding. Logic is given the role of providing in us an eternal order reflective of the order of creation, a role that bestows it therefore with a certain sacrality. the Kantian conceptualist contention, now often encountered, establishes the basis for the contemporary de-ontologization of logic, since it creates a split between second intentions and first intentions, ensuring that reality has no input into the workings of the mind. Secondary intelligibles, however, are based on first intelligibles – things that exist – and thus they are ontologically dependent and reflective of that order. e logical thus can never contradict the metaphysical, and the metaphysical can never, in turn, be illogical. This seamlessness between the two orders is critical to the safeguarding of a sound intellectual discourse enabling the human soul to understand its existential condition, a condition that remains the same regardless of time and place. https://www.classificationofthesciences.com/publications/definitions monthly 0.5 2022-06-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6058598d6050fd72cdfe4043/1616406443781-MMOTJGY50AWDS90IHB4Z/jules-bss-dDO3OELb0Mo-unsplash.jpg Publications - The Reality of Definitions (Forthcoming) - Definition as a Manifestation of Realist Metaphysics This research explores and defends the real, essentialist claim to knowledge of things via definition. Its conclusion has a classical and contemporary import. Late classical theologians upheld the capacity of definitions to capture the essential realities of things while being fallible. This is understood in that definition is formally valid speculative inquiry, while the material for a given definiendum may be wanting. In terms of contemporary dominantly empiricist or subjectivist and ultimately nominalist dominant schools, it is shown that the favoured scientific properties do not fulfill criteria for intelligibility. Some models uniting so-called empirical data with intelligibility and ultimately a metaphysical framework are explored. The thesis of real, essentialist, and quidditative knowledge has been explored in a number of academic contexts, but the late kalām and Akbarian materials for this discussion were simply missing at the onset of this research. Thus, the remainder of this paper unfolds the excavated sophisticated traditions, making some references to nominalist practices which, by contrast, dominate scientific and dictionary practice. This research sets the stage for an engagement with empiricist and idealist philosophies by exploring the production of the materials of definition through the senses and inner senses, but the full engagement is beyond the remit of the current project.
