Modalities of Argumentation, Scriptural Reasoning, and the Structural Characteristics of Early Islamic Theological Discourse
This examination of three early Islamic theological texts will show that the discursive practices within their respective genera of writing in its nascent stages were scripturally hermeneutical in character. Primary focus was on arguing for the proper understanding of Quranic statements rather than...

Cette étude de trois textes datant des débuts de la théologie islamique vise à montrer que les pratiques discursives dont ils relèvent au sein de leurs genres naissants respectifs ont un caractère scriptural et herméneutique, leur préoccupation principale étant de déterminer la façon dont il faut comprendre des assertions coraniques données plutôt que de développer de longs arguments sur des bases purement rationnelles. Une analyse formelle des trois écrits sur le déterminisme divin que l’on étudie ici suggère que le contenu coranique non seulement fournit la matière de ces discussions mais oriente également la structure elle-même de leur argumentation et des tournures de raisonnement qui les portent en sous-main. Ce que nous voulons notamment montrer est que le développement de la pensée théologique islamique et les pratiques discursives qui lui sont associées ont reçu leur impulsion de l’intérieur, c’est-à-dire de sources religieuses plutôt qu’être le simple fait d’une évolution liée à la découvertes d’influences extérieures. |
