Öz

In this article the epistemological method of an-Nacrani is explained. His epistemological thoughts were told to be concerned with the Mu’tazilites. Kadı Abdülğabbar takes e great and important place in Mu’tazilite system. Taqiaddin explains epistemological discussions among great theological sects of Mu’tazilites: The Mu’taziletes of Bagdad and the Mu’tazilites of Basra. They have different opinions in the problem knowledge. In this article we have shown that Taqiaddin told about the transcendental knowledge theory, which was subject of discussion between the two Mu’tazilite theological sects. This theory has been considered by the most western scholars as a theory, whose founder was Kant. So we have proved in this writing that this method was well-known before Kant by the Mu’tazilites. The second originality of Nacrani is that we learn only from him a new istidlal-method, called “delale nefyü’d-delale”
