Abstract: (988 Views)
In the Sixth Discourse of the Zad al-Musafirin, Nasir Khusraw presents his most extensive argument refuting the claim of the materialists that the celestial spheres are the creators of the universe. This argument’s foundation comprises concepts related to the motion of elemental natures and generated beings, as well as the subjugated or dominant nature of celestial spheres and their rotational motion. The findings ultimately reveal that, while Nasir Khusraw’s argument is methodologically sound and formally valid, its premises contain unsubstantiated assumptions and exhibit false analogies. Additionally, the argument includes auxiliary lemmas, some of which hold scholarly value, while others are redundant and could be excised from its core framework.
