THE STUDY OF LANGUAGE AND THE MAIN DIFFERENCE BETWEEN GRAMMAR AND LOGIC IN AL-FÂRÂBÎ’S PHILOSOPHY
Abstract
Philosophers, sociologists, biologists, anthropologists etc. are trying to explain where language and its main elements come from. No doubt the fundamental reason the mentioned attempt considers is to explain the role of language in terms of both having an impact on the structure of theories and representing the social conditions. What Al-Fârâbî 870-950 says about the origin of language consistently support this claim and present very useful clues in terms of describing where language comes from and how it works. From his perspective, what we try to do here is to reveal some basic reasons that motivate human to be in search of language and clarify what the main difference between grammar and logic is
