Modal Önermelerin Yapıcı Tip Kuramı Temelli İnşası: Kâtibî’nin Şemsiyye’si Örneği

Abstract

Bu çalışma, Necmeddîn el-Kâtibî’nin er-Risâletü’ş-Şemsiyye fî’l-kavâʿidi’l-mantıkiyye adlı eserinde yer alan modal önermelerin çağdaş biçimsel mantık yaklaşımlarından Yapıcı Tip Kuramı aracılığıyla yeniden inşasını konu edinmektedir. Çalışmanın temel amacı, Arapça mantık geleneğinde mutlak önerme çözümlemelerinde yüklemin özneyle olan ilişkisinin zorunluluk ve süreklilik derecesine göre tasnif edilmesi esasına dayanan zâtî-vasfî ayrımının, biçimsel ve modal düzeyde temsiline imkân sağlayan bir sistem önermektir. Bu bağlamda Shahid Rahman’ın geliştirdiği yorumlayıcı CTT modeli ile önermeler iki aşamalı bir yöntemle incelenmiştir. İlk aşamada modal önermeler birinci düzey mantık (FOL) çerçevesinde sembolleştirilmiş; ikinci aşamada ise bağlam, zaman ve yönelim bileşenlerini içeren CTT temsilleriyle yeniden modellenmiştir. Bu sayede özne ve yüklem arasındaki ilişki tip-temelli, bağlam-duyarlı ve zamana bağlı yapılarla biçimsel olarak temsil edilmiştir. Bu çalışmanın önerdiği biçimsel temsil yöntemi sayesinde Şemsiyye’deki modal önermeler sembolik düzeyde yeniden inşa edilerek, geleneksel mantığın yapısal zenginliği günümüz mantık tartışmalarına kazandırılmıştır.

The Constructive Type-Theoretical Reconstruction of Modal Propositions: The Case of Kātibī’s al-Shamsiyya

Year 2025, Volume: 25 Issue: 2, 823 - 855, 30.09.2025

Abstract

This study focuses on the reconstruction of the modal propositions found in Necmeddīn al-Kātibī’s al-Risāla al-Shamsiyya fī al-qawāʿid al-manṭiqiyya through contemporary formal logic approaches, particularly via Constructive Type Theory (CTT). The main objective of the study is to propose a system that enables the formal and modal-level representation of the substantial–descriptive (ẓātī–waṣfī) distinction, which is foundational in the Arabic logical tradition’s analysis of absolute propositions and based on the degrees of necessity and continuity in the subject–predicate relation. In this context, the study employs Shahid Rahman’s interpretive model of CTT and proceeds through a two-stage method. In the first stage, modal propositions are symbolized within the framework of First-Order Logic (FOL); in the second stage, they are reformulated using CTT representations incorporating contextual, temporal, and directional components. In doing so, the relation between subject and predicate is formally modeled through type-theoretic, context-sensitive, and temporally structured constructs. The formal representation method proposed in this study enables the symbolic reconstruction of the modal propositions in al-Shamsiyya, integrating the structural richness of traditional logic into contemporary logical discourse.
