The Problem of Existential Import in Metathetic Propositions: Qutb al-Din al-Tahtani contra Fakhr al-Din al-Razi
2019
This paper addresses discussions in post-Avicennan Arabic logic on various characterizations of metathetic propositions and their status vis-à-vis the existential import condition by focusing on the arguments made by Fakhr al-Dīn al-Rāzī (d. 606/1210) and the counter-arguments by Quṭb al-Dīn al-Rāzī al-Taḥtānī (d. 766/1365), both of whom established their positions in a framework drawn by Avicenna (Ibn Sīnā, d. 428/1037), the most prominent figure in the tradition of classical Arabic logic. In his logic texts, Avicenna thoroughly discusses the problem of the existential import in metathetic propositions (ma‘dūla), and seems to have presumed the existential import to be a truth-condition for…
How Islamic are young Muslim people’s poems?
2019
In this article, I investigate poetry written by two young Muslim people during their spare time. Adopting Shahab Ahmed’s (2016) understanding of Islamic in its plenitude and complexity, I ask how Islamic their texts are. The participants, Neda and Mohammed (both pseudonyms), grew up in Islamic countries where they were socialised in faith literacy practices, including practices around sacred and devotional texts, before moving to Norway in their teens. The data used for this article were collected during two linguistic ethnographies and include poems written in and outside of school, fieldnotes from classroom observations and transcripts from multiple semi-structured interviews. The interv…
Transactional Sex, Early Marriage, and Parent-Child Relations in a Tanzanian Slum
2016
Transactional sex has been recognized as a major factor in the persistence of HIV/AIDS in Sub-Saharan Africa, yet it also has implications for the persistence of poverty. Using interview data collected between 2010 and 2015, this article examines how Muslim families in Dar es Salaam are affected by transactional sexual behavior.1 Examined are motives for transactional sex, how poor families view the purpose of marriage, and religious teachings and cultural beliefs about the onset of adulthood. Familial strategies to ensure provision for daughters and to improve the family’s socio-economic situation are impeded by the fact that in a context of high unemploy ment, transactional sex of ten rep…
Robust Selective Stereo SLAM without Loop Closure and Bundle Adjustment
2013
This paper presents a novel stereo SLAM framework, where a robust loop chain matching scheme for tracking keypoints is combined with an effective frame selection strategy. The proposed approach, referred to as selective SLAM (SSLAM), relies on the observation that the error in the pose estimation propagates from the uncertainty of the three-dimensional points. This is higher for distant points, corresponding to matches with low temporal flow disparity in the images. Comparative results based on the reference KITTI evaluation framework show that SSLAM is effective and can be implemented efficiently, as it does not require any loop closure or bundle adjustment.
Identidad y género : aproximación al discurso feminista en Marruecos
2013
El tema de la identidad ha estado presente con vehemencia en los dos grandes debates sobre la cuestión femenina que conoció Marruecos en el período 1992-2004 y que coincidieron con las dos reformas de la Mudauana, la de 1993 y la del Código de la Familia de 2004. Ambos debates constituyeron dos momentos históricos para el movimiento de mujeres marroquí porque marcaron su trayectoria, la evolución de sus referencias, sus acciones y su identidad. El objetivo de esta tesis es aproximarse al feminismo en Marruecos como movimiento, discurso e identidad, indagando en los mecanismos que usa para la deconstrucción de la identidad de género y la reconstrucción de una nueva identidad femenina y femin…
Sulle tracce di una filosofia “dell’islam”: per una lettura contemporanea
2016
La distanza originaria tra falsafa e islam e la difficoltà del loro rapporto pongono in questione la filosofia, significata mediante il calco arabo di un nome greco per prestito lessicale assimilato, nell'atto stesso della sua congiunzione per differenza con l’islam, che in lingua araba è un nomen actionis. Tradurre, custodendo le consonanti della lingua originaria come mezzo per trasmettere un’idea, manifesta l’intento di provare quasi a custodirne il significato nel modo più innocente possibile nell’ambizione di essere fedeli e contemporaneamente innovando, poiché fedeltà e innovazione sono concetti correlativi per contemporaneità storica e concettuale. In questa occorrenza il pensare com…
Future contingency and God’s knowledge of particulars in Avicenna
2022
Avicenna’s discussion of future contingent propositions is sometimes considered to entail metaphysical indeterminism. In this paper, I argue that his logical analysis of future contingent statements is best understood in terms of the epistemic modality of those statements, which has no consequences for modal metaphysics. This interpretation is corroborated by hitherto neglected material concerning the question of God’s knowledge of particulars. In the Taʿlīqāt, Avicenna argues that God knows particulars by knowing their complete causes, and when contrasted with the human knowledge of particulars, this epistemically superior access shows that the contingency of statements about future partic…
