It was at this time that \u003ci\u003eThe Rules of Logic \u003c\/i\u003ewas composed by Najm al-Dīn al-Kātibī, a scholar of the Shāfiʿī school of law.\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eThe Rules of Logic \u003c\/i\u003eis the most widely read introduction to logic in the Arabic-speaking world. It has probably enjoyed a longer shelf-life than any other logic textbook ever written, having been in use by madrasah students from the early eighth\/fourteenth century up until the present day. Building on the theories of Avicenna, al-Rāzī, and other pioneers of logic, al-Kātibī discusses the many pitfalls of building arguments and setting out unambiguous claims in natural language. The enduring nature of the text is a testament to al-Kātibī and his impact on concepts of formal discourse and argument.
